The fact that you see it as a left/right dichotomy issue is a bit myopic tbh.
Regardless, anti-zionism has been a longstanding tentpole of the left, or at least for the last 30-40 years. Ghouls will tell you this is the same thing as anti-semitism however because it's politically convenient for them.
