What happened to the Israeli left?

So I have many Israeli friends and only a few of them are on the left, and they are very reasonable, critical people, which makes them so different from the general left that has been deep in Hamas propaganda

Israeli leftists don't seem to be all the same because I've seen many of them who were furiously anti-Zionist and look down on Mizrahi Jews while loving Arab nationalists

Is there any chance they could win the election this year? Yair Golan seems like a decent human but people like Ofer Cassif and Hadash as a whole just seem like Palestinian nationalists to me

How popular is Anti-Zionism in Israel?

Is anyone else losing their mind scrolling through social media lately, because I swear I am seeing way too many anti-Zionist Israelis all over my feed

They literally deny Israel’s right to exist and it is getting completely out of hand, like some of them are straight up pure Palestinian nationalists and others are pushing hard for a one-state solution, I have literally seen some of these people with the Hamas red triangle emoji right in their bios which is actual insanity, some are even out here saying October 7th wasn't even that bad because they claim most of the deaths were soldiers, like how do you even justify that

Some of them don't even want to identify as Israeli anymore and they completely hate leftist Israelis even though they are leftists themselves, they are literally calling Yair Golan a genocide supporter and some are even defending the Islamic regime in Iran of all places, like what is actually wrong with these people? obviously they are all far-left but this is just way too much, they absolutely won't shut up about how Palestinians are treated yet they have zero problem with Israelis facing massive racism everywhere

They keep saying they want to leave the country and call themselves ex-Israelis just because to them Israel is an illegitimate state

Are there really that many of them inside the country right now because Reddit and Twitter make it seem like they are all over the place, and they speak fluent Hebrew so please don't try to tell me they are fake or bots when they literally protest in Israel with communist and anarchist flags, it feels like this radical bubble is growing so much faster online and it is honestly crazy to watch people turn against their own country like this
