Left-wingers can clearly engage in anti-semitism and have been going back to Marx (despite his Jewish heritage) himself. Whether or not and where there exists a particularly left-wing anti-semitism is worth actual debate.
My take is that it clearly exists within movements and individuals, but it's more like that anti-semitism influenced that individual's left-wing politics than vice versa. That is, they became left-wing because they hate Jews; they didn't hate Jews because they are left-wing.
