Red-baiters hated both Communists and civil rights for Blacks and other people of color. Since Communism was regarded as worse than racial equality in the mid-20th century United States, they thought that they could discredit the civil rights movement by pointing to the (real and imagined) presence of actual and former socialists and communists and other radicals in the movement.
In contrast, in my case, I am opposed to a US military intervention in Sudan, but, as you recognize, I do not hate Jewish communities. My criticism of establishment Jews is motivated by my strongly held belief that their allying with evangelical Christians (the most militaristic speech at the "Save Darfur" rally was given by a Southern Baptist guy whose name escapes me) and supporting a US military intervention in Sudan is against the interests of Jews. US or NATO troops blundering into a complex conflict like Darfur (which pits the Islamist government against the rebels one of whose factions is even more Islamist than the government, with Chad supporting rebels in Darfur and Sudan supporting rebels in Chad) is liable to turn an already disastrous situation into a catastrophe, increasing terrorism, which is not in the interest of anyone but can present a greater danger to Jews than to others.
