That's what the Spanish Civil War was about. That's what the partisan militias in World War II(the vast majority of whom were on the Left in some way or other)were about. And the Right in this country are only "pro-Israel" because they want all the Jews to LEAVE the U.S.(those of us on the Left want them to stay and be welcome, as we want everybody to be welcome).
(and I'm not talking Stalin between '39 and '41-by me he was never on the Left).
It's unreasonable to demand that people defend everything the Israeli government does to Palestinians just to prove they aren't antisemites. The Israeli government is NOT infallible, and it's not always clear that that government cares more about protecting Israeli citizens then it does about maintaining its importance in international affairs, an importance that hinges on this war never ever coming to an end.
