In 1977, a teenager from Blackpool, England, set out to become a professional rock star. Ian Stuart Donaldson, the son of a businessman and a housewife, idolized the Rolling Stones. His high school band was called “Tumbling Dice” — after a song on the Stones’ tenth album. After the band members graduated, they renamed themselves Skrewdriver and moved to London to try to make it big.
At first, they were just a regular punk band. They played with Jamaican reggae groups. Their first album didn’t contain a single song about race or politics.

Who do you include in "we"? I certainly have not seen signs of -- what was that?-- "left-wing hate?"
Kate, you can't reason with Cyst'em... all you can do is sing him a song...Overture, cut the lights This is it, the night of nights No more rehearsing or nursing a part We know every part by heart... Overture, night of nights This is it, we'll hit the heights And oh what heights we'll hit On with the show this is it!

That's what you got? Ancient history, irrelevant.
Not a trend. Anti-semitism is endemic, and definitely atypical of the left.
Oh, and HuffPo is not an authoritative source on anything.
