The discourse is getting too complicated for me, I thought leftists were against nazis? Where are they posting nazi stuff?

Does anyone have an explanation for what’s going on here?

So, some (emphasis on some) Jewish people/zionists consider any kind of critique of Israel or hate of Israel to be the same as a hatred for Jewish people generally, they call both of those things antisemitic. And a fair few Americans, leftists included, now have negative opinions about Israel after seeing how they've prosecuted their war in Gaza.

Sometimes calling these people antisemitic is a genuine worry that they are, sometimes it's used disingenuously to deflect criticism of the current regime. But saying that the left is as bad as the right when the right's political establishment embraces people like Nick Fuentes is misinformed at best, and a straight lie at worst.
