There is no denying that there are some on the left who also hate Jews. To ignore that is disingenuous.
It's like a doting parent who believes that their angel can do no wrong.

Zionist” as an epithet, a sneaky smuggle-through-customs trick of saying “Jew” without saying “Jew,” mirrors the neo-Nazi nomenclature of the 1970s and ‘80s. Back then, violent supremacists hosted hate rallies and plotted terrorist attacks to fight “ZOG,” meaning “Zionist Occupied Government.” Now the progressive left is likeliest to utter “Zionist”

I could research further, but I think what I posted will suffice.
I NEVER said all on the left - did I?
