There is "religious" anti-Semitism, usually from Christians, though Muslims have their share as well. It is not common among Hindus, Buddhists, or other religions. Religious anti-Semitism mainly focuses on the crucifixion of Jesus. It is the "original sin" of the Jews to Christians. It is why, in 5th grade, a classmate threatened to blow off my face with a shotgun, because I was a "Christ-killer". It has largely changed in the past 50 years, but many still cling to it. Passion Plays also perpetuated religious anti-Semitism for centuries. In the same vein, there are the "blood libels" which center on the lies that we use blood, especially Christian (Muslim) children's blood in preparation of our food or "mystical" rites. The irony is Jews are very strict about the consumption of blood; it is forbidden.
Societal anti-Semitism centers more on "observations" over the centuries, such as Jews cause disease, poison wells, and "curse" non-Jews. This really kicked into high gear during the Black Plague, but other disease outbreaks were blamed on Jews. Because of strict laws regarding cleanliness, Jews were usually less likely to fall ill or die from certain diseases, so the conclusion was we poisoned wells, or cursed people. This type of anti-Semitism is not as common anymore, but still flares up from time to time and has morphed into Jews as "body/organ snatchers".
Economic anti-Semitism is much more common in the modern era. It revolves around the concept that "Jews run the banks and finances". This, too, harkens back to the Middle Ages, actually before, when Jews were charged with handling the finances of the Church. It, the Church, was not allowed to employ usury, so they pawned it off on the Jews. This is also where the concept that Jews are "money grubbers" and will "always get the best deal" and "overcharge" originates. Also, Jews started to go into finance, as it was one of the few fields which Jews were not forbidden to work. This version is also the one which ties us to "all wars are by the Jews or for the Jews." It is also the reason we see many attack ads which go after Soros or paint Jews as trying to steal money from constituents.
There is also the anti-Semitism which stems from various ethnic groups. Most is related to the religious type, but the economic and societal versions also come into play with accusations of Jews "running the slave trade", "being responsible for keeping other minorities down for the White Man." "Jews aren't really interested in working for us, but advance our rights to advance their control."
When it comes to the mix-bag type, which can fall into various categories, we see "Jews are more loyal to their own group/Israel" and "Jews are working to destroy the US (various countries) or "the White Race" through our activism in regards to minority rights.
This is a brief explanation of the various incarnations of anti-Semitism.
