Uh, except for the bit where 'letting loose' is 'revealing that they actually are antisemitic'. I generally assume that people, and especially left-leaning people, aren't antisemitic even if Israel critiques them as such; to find out that a very nonzero amount actually are, and a much larger amount are willing to endorse or tolerate those antisemitic views, is deeply disturbing.
Aa a German leftist I cannot assume that. For example, German leftists placed a bomb at a Holocaust memorial event in a jewish community center in 1969. And during the hijacking of an Air France flight the RZ separated the passengers and kept only those with Israeli passports or "jewish sounding names" etc. as hostages (German Wikipedia, German article with quotes from RZ members).
Fun fact: two distinct events from 1969 and 1976 might not accurately represent the Left in 2025.
For one thing, everyone who participated in those atrocious acts are elderly or dead now. Most of the Left are neither.
I do think that most of the left wing people that ever lived are dead.
That's very very true. However, none of the current Left is.
That is also very true.
