Well clearly its a mixed bag on a handful of issues but in general the left loves jews because jews developed most of the precepts of the progressive movement. The left will never really say “hey jews are fucking over Palestinians in the ME, and also fucking over the workers through Wall Street and fucking over blacks in the justice system; the common thread is jews — therefore we hate jews.” The left never says that because they don’t think that way. They think “Jews are great folks except for this little group here that’s mean to palestinians. “ Therefore, the left does not hate jews, only the ones they perceive as going against progressive values. Jeremy Corbyn probably has a portrait of Marx on his wall. He probably idolizes Trotsky. The anti-semitic charge against the left is a canard imo.

No left = No BDS. Clearly the right was doing jack and shit, and the left went and got their shit organized and started having an effect.

Everyone on the right who dislikes israel has been branded as a nazi domestic terrorist. It is illegal for them to organize anything.
