Not necessarily. Certainly, the anti-Israel forces on the left have become increasingly magnified in recent years.
And what about the anti-Israel forces on the right, that gather in huge numbers with tiki torches and chant "Jews will not replace us?"
How "magnified" in just the last 2 years, has this/them become?
Of course, that's true, but let's not pretend that anti-Israel sentiment on the right and left are comparable; they're not. Focus on the graph on the right.
Simply because one "sympathizes" more with a Palestinian perspective (in the chart), doesn't necessarily mean that one is "anti Israel" (as you say).
I would view "anti-Israel" to be more defined as someone (for example) that was associated with the alt-right, Nazis and white-supremacists screaming derogatory statements about Jews (which also included bigoted signs and Hitler salutes abound).
And I assure you .... the super, vast majority of those scum in Charlottesville were pro-trump, right/GOP "supportive" individuals in our nation (not left).
Buying the Hamas line and sympathizing with those who wish to see the destruction of Israel is indeed, by any rational definition, anti-Israel. Of course, those at Charlottesville weren't left wingers, but they also weren't conservative, in the American sense, as support for Israel is a fundamental tenet of modern American conservative thought.
I assure you that when that poll was taken (in the table), the question asked was not "do you wish to see the destruction of Israel." And then if you answered "yes," then you "sympathize" with the Palestinians in the poll data. Come on .... seriously .... are you being obtuse?
Also, what exactly Charlottesville "was," is highly debatable. But there is no doubt that the world and our nation
saw it as Dem on one side, GOP on the other. Liberal on one side, "Conservative" on the other. Anti-trump versus pro-trump, etc, etc.
You may not like it, but that is the truth.
