In my country there is a leftist tendency called "antideutsche" (anti-german) and it seems to me, that they are supporters of Israel. What is the reason for supporting Israel from a leftist standpoint? It is confusing for me, because I thought that Israel is nothing more than a henchman of US imperialism?!

Thank you for your answer in advance!

I have had it explained to me that they are trying to overcompensate for their complicity in the genocide of jews under nazism by supporting zionism.

you must know that on Israel beginning over Palestine land, there was a socialist comunities called kibutz, they organize people and economic production, and build that post-war "new Israel" over its bases. That was the "happy beginning", the construcction of one country who rise after nazi extermination, but saddly after having economic properity, Israel turns to an ultra - right model goverment, and now sounds logical a question like you do on this post. So... Leftists who support Israel? yes, but first, lets talk first over a context, actual Israel only deserve shame.
