In Germany, all leftists have a lot of guilt... it's their innermost engine. IMHO, it's quite notable that around 60% of the left argues with a minority 40% using an argument that goes like "if you're against the war in Gaza, then you're borderline antisemitic." And, in some cases, they just accuse you of being antisemitic "for being against the statehood of Israel". They just interpret you as being against the statehood of Israel, extrapolating from what you say. They simplify the reality, e.g. they care shit about looking at maps through time, how the border has been moving... or the videos and other documents of the massacres and genocide. I still remember the voice of that child that was left alone in a car after a missile killed their parents (it's a phone recording to 911). And I still remember the criminal missile that killed the rescue team that was going to get this child. But, most people just didn't see this, or all the other stuff. Ignorance is too abundant. Sames goes for the right, though there the propaganda is way heavier leaning towards proactive denial of what's happening.
It's not a left-wing or right-wing issue. In fact, it's a cross-cutting issue. It's a problem between those who have an interest in spreading a certain narrative that only suits a few, and those who instead seek to leverage facts...
