This is so well said. I don't think a lot of lefties know this or do it intentionally, but they often dehumanize Israelis in a similar way to how Jews have been historically demonized: Israel being this big, surreptitious power coordinating with the enemy. It's absolutely similar to the idea of "The International Jew" that led to the Holocaust. They don't understand the uniquely Jewish experience of being backed into a corner on the international, "first word" stage.
