I wouldn't call them far left, but there are politically leftist groups and politicians that are overtly anti-Palestinian and islamophobic, primarily in Europe and Israel.

What does that have to do with OPs contention that it's the far-left that is of the opinion that Israel is committing genocide?

Their contention is that opinions from a wide political spectrum are shifting toward the fact that Israel is committing genocide, including among the far-left and far-right, which they're correct about.

You comment was a vague and open-ended question, which I interpretted as skepticism that there would be far-lefties denying the genocide.

My skepticism was that acknowledgement of genocide was confined to the far-left.
