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.
