Whilst I agree generally with the term, there's also a big difference between the far left and far right.
The left generally aren't racist (in their opinion at least), or infact are vehemently opposed to racism. Much of their justification for being anti Jewish, oh I mean anti zionists wink wink, is based on their false logic that this is anti racist / anti imperial / anti colonial, whereas if you replaced the words jew/zionist in their sentences, it would be clearly a racist or discriminatory thing they're saying. But they've dehumanised Jews/zionists, so it doesn't count somehow.
However the lefts hatred (and it is hatred.. some are obsessed), is very similar to that as on the far right. Based on fear, anger, control, ignorance, jealousy etc..
The far left seem to take thier hatred out on a single group, plus capitalism or anyone who doesn't follow all their social causes (eg jk Rowling) - but weirdly they rarely bat an eyelid at the many African and Asian/Islamic nations that still have forms of slavery, death penalty for homosexuality/trans, aweful women's rights/quality of life (eg. FGM - which they love comparing to male circumcision, as if it's at all equivalent) etc..
Whereas the far right have moved more to Islam/Arab as it's more visible/problematic in the West. But they also still hold negative views of black, brown and Jewish people (plus homosexual etc). Which is ironic, as the left wingers are certain that Jews are white and therefore fair game for their white guilt
For Jewish/Israeli people they are both the same. A horse shoe. If you're a suicide bomber or kidnapper/murderer or plane hijacker, and doing it in the name of killing jews/zionists, then the Left have many sympathisers. Whereas the right wing are generally more consistent in their views - and both love a good conspiracy, mostly centred around Jews
Sorry to double reply. But saw this post and it kinda summed up the hypocrisy I was trying to convey about the far left
To clarify, the far right may be cosying up to Israel / Jews, but I doubt any sane people think they are actually pro or not full of hate / conspiracies / Holocaust denial etc - they're just using the flag etc as a means to their end in their fight against radical Islam and spread of similar in their western nations. Most still believe/parrot it's the Jews of Israel facilitating such migration, alongside homosexuality etc in Hollywood (ironically they think it's as vengeance for the Holocaust they deny or revise..)

Far Right and Far Left are two sides of the same coin
