>why is anti-semitism seemingly 'the default?'
Jews were an "other" group throughout history who largely did not integrate into the rest of society.
>why does anti-semitism unite the extreme left and right
Because modern-day mainstream politics is dominated by jews, so anyone that dislikes mainstream politics probably dislikes jews, and anyone who dislikes jews won't do well in mainstream politics.
>why is jewishness associated with being dastardly, devious, greedy
Historically jews were bankers and had looser morals towards others than Christians/whites did. Their holy texts often explicitly justify mistreatment of gentiles.
>what books best tackle the subject from either side and are well-sourced? I don't mind reading banned books.
Culture of Critique is fairly insightful without being too biased. I would also encourage you to read the Protocols- although they are possibly not genuine, they are nearly prophetic with regard to jewish actions in the 20th century and the state of the modern world.
