Depends on the country. In Germany too many "leftists" simp for Israel.

Noted for future reference. In the online anglosphere, I generally find self-proclaimed leftists almost always land on the side of Palestine over Israel.

They are called Anti-Deutsche (anti germans) or Anti-D for short and try very hard to mimic fundamental opposition while actually supporting Germany's foreign policy.

Still there are even anti-D anarchists for example who want all states to fall but Israel last. Everything bad about Israel is bad about all states so why bother with Israel. It's a rabbit hole, it's wild. But a purely German phenomenon for reasons

the political party i run with has issue with the slogan "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" as its voicing one side of the conflict, being propagandized by right wing Zionists furthering the divide of the working class of Israel. anyway i doubt many leftist use the slogan with ill-intent.

I dunno... many on the center-left? Yes, definitely! But don't give a false impression to @PugJesus@lemmy.world, hardcore leftists even here usually stick to the leftist Palestinian organizations.

Like the socialist Palestinian Popular Struggle Front, the communist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the marxist-leninist Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the social-democratic, secular Fatah or their umbrella organization, the broadly leftist, secular PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization)

Obligatory

Then there's the entire, fairly big "Antideutsch" movement that labels itself as "far left" and "antifascist" but is heavily licking Israel's boots.
