No one's singling out Israel on the far left, that's the thing. Plenty of other American allies get called out. India, for its treatment of Kashmiris, Saudi Arabia for being comic book villain levels of undistilled evil, Australia for its offshore concentration camps etc.
It's really fucking weird when a left winger gets accused of singling out Israel when they've criticised a whole buncha countries. I guess an antisemite lefty story is way easier to manufacture than anything else.
Especially when the people crafting it are actually anti-semitic. Blaming anti-fascists and anti-colinialists for the sins of the fascists and colonialists is some disgustingly effective sleight of hand.
Yeah. Had some blairite shithead stand up in the HoC and bleat about how 'anticapitalism is antisemetic.' The only, and I mean only, interpretation of that is that all Jews are capitalists. Guess how many column inches in the mainstream media it got?
This type of bourgeoise anti-semitic simplism is almost as bad as the right wing "we stand with Israel" because they want to fulfill the prophesy of revelations and exterminate the Jews with nukes after an extended holy war against muslims.
