This is the best summary I could come up with:
UK-based researchers show that anti-hierarchical aggression, totalitarianism, and belief in malevolent global conspiracies are the biggest indicators of antisemitic attitudes, in a study published last May.
The study was published in the peer-reviewed Nature Journal and was attempting to understand how antisemitism, traditionally a right-wing problem, has become prominent in the left.
The researchers gave these as examples of conspiracies “A small secret group of people is responsible for making all major world decisions such as going to war,” “The spread of certain viruses and/or diseases is the result of the deliberate, concealed efforts of some organisations,” and “The government permits or perpetrates acts of terrorism on its own soil, disguising its involvement.”
Support for totalitarian political systems was also a strong indicator of Judeophobic Antisemitism, with most agreeing with this statement “To bring about great changes for the benefit of mankind often requires cruelty and even ruthlessness."
David Hirsh, one of the researchers told PsyPost.org "On the one hand, antisemites who believe the democratic state to be a trick played on ‘the people’ by ‘the Jews’ might feel justified in tearing it down and taking repressive action against those responsible.
Daniel Allington, one of the researchers told PsyPost.org “All our data were collected in the UK, so it’s possible that things may work differently in other countries.”
