A Pariah amongst Nations? A History of Israel and the Left

Despite virtually unanimous support in 1948, what has led to the acerbic criticism of Israel – as a state rather than its government’s policies – by the international Left in 2018?
Is there a difference between a national Left of a country and its Jewish Left? Is ideological anti-Zionism more important than a legitimate support of the Palestinian cause?
Has the question of Israel become symbolic of the struggle between Right and Left in a country – regardless of the complex realities of the Israel-Palestine imbroglio?
