Left-antisemitism arises mostly from anti-Zionism - when an anti-Zionist goes too far in associating Jewish ethnicity with the State of Israel. It can also come from an association of Jews with (unpopular) investment banking. (See also Zhdanov's coded phrase "rootless cosmopolitan".)
Right-antisemitism is quite different. The right is generally sympathetic towards Israel's killing Palestinians, whom it thinks of as browner than Jewish Israelis. But domestically, in the USA, it sees Jews as less American than white gentiles. The extremists are sympathetic to Hitler's ideas about 'Aryanization', denying, or even supporting, the holocaust. But they've got no special objection to Jewish financiers, unless (George Soros) they're openly leftist.
The left tends to see antisemitism from its side as little more than a careless overstepping of boundaries - that's the perspective of Jeremy Corbyn, in the UK. Whereas the right thinks that the only antisemitism that matters is showing insufficient support for Israel.
When commentators on each side speak of antisemitism, there's not that much in common in their meanings.
