Left wing politics has had a long history of antisemitism.

Yeah, the “ree antisemitism!!1” thing has been the most comment reflexive defense I’ve seen, where any valid criticism of “hey maybe Israel doesn’t need to be flattening the entirety of Gaza and starving an entire race to death” is dismissed as “Oh you hate jews”. The US government, colleges, and cities trying to shut down protests have also branded it as such, when it’s really not.

I think it’s more the shocking number of people comfortable protesting alongside Hamas flags and people chanting “globalize the intifada” that makes Jewish people a little uncomfortable.
