Boys and men from generation Z are more likely than older baby boomers to believe that feminism has done more harm than good, according to research that shows a “real risk of fractious division among this coming generation”.

…

On feminism, 16% of gen Z males felt it had done more harm than good. Among over-60s the figure was 13%.

The figures emerged from Ipsos polling for King’s College London’s Policy Institute and the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership. The research also found that 37% of men aged 16 to 29 consider “toxic masculinity” an unhelpful phrase, roughly double the number of young women who don’t like it.

“This is a new and unusual generational pattern,” said Prof Bobby Duffy, director of the Policy Institute. “Normally, it tends to be the case that younger generations are consistently more comfortable with emerging social norms, as they grew up with these as a natural part of their lives.”

It could be a difference in our countries, in the US we learn a LOT about the holocaust and Nazism, WW2, etc, so most people I know politically aware will go out of their way to assure you that they are not speaking about Judaism in general. Who are these 'many on the left' being antisemitic? I simply haven't seen that, not any more than it might have occurred before this current war, which was rare. It doesn't seem difficult for most to separate the actions of a violent organization like the IDF and right-wing Israeli officials from Jewish people in general.

i guess this is where the differences in "common" knowledge comes in...

There are multiple countries where left wing politics is associated with anti semitism. It might seem weird but it's true. Start with the UK - there is a Wikipedia page on it. I'm not going to share a heap of further context as I'd invite you to read and review yourself and come to your own conclusions, much as I have.

I would also encourage spending as much time reading accounts of world war I, and the conditions before and after the war, as you have on wwii. It helps to understand what left and right wing have meant over long periods of time, and the clumping / allegiances that comes with these alignments, which persist into the modern world without really being visible under the glossy label.
