Why did the left become so antisemitic? (lemm.ee)

Not to discredit liberal Israel supporters, but it seems odd to see the left suddenly going mask-off on their antisemitism when historically it's the far right that has been antisemitic. Maybe it's a case of horseshoe theory, it wouldn't surprise me.

You're implying any criticisms of the Israeli government, or the Israeli military are automatically anti-Semitic.

You're implying that there's a government and military, that can do no wrong, are always perfect, and have nothing to improve.

Feedback is critical for any human endeavor, organization, system, to improve and remain balanced. If you remove the ability to provide feedback, systems will degrade.

So I will concede one of two things is definitely true:

A. The " left " are totally anti-Semitic because the Israeli military, and the Israeli government are perfect now and forever.

B. There are valid criticisms of the policies and behavior of the Israeli government and the Israeli military.

Only one of these can be true, which is it?
