I wasn't aware that the eliminationist "Palestine free, from the river to the sea" was a peaceful slogan.

I wasn't informed of the peafceful nature of the Cornell, Columbia and Stanford profs "exhilarated" by the mass murder of Nova peace festival goers, Israeli lefty kibbutzniks who had volunteered to take Gazans for medical treatment in Israel and the daughter of Israeli tech magnate Eyal Waldman (https://jweekly.com/2023/11/30/eyal-waldman-tech-giant-whose-daughter-was-killed-by-hamas-is-open-to-peace/).

How about that Sydney Opera House aria, "gas the Jews" sung at a high pitch? Peaceful and progressive? They weren't all Islamists and neo-Nazis in that crowd.

No longer fringe lefty Jew haters weren't pushed into it by the no longer fringe fascist right. They got to this latest version of blood libel on their own through their marriage of binary oppressed-oppressor identity politics with age old anti-semitic hatred that frames Jews as a universal other and source of hidden conspiratorial power. The roads to useful idiocy are many. But the sources of this toxic brew are anything but new.
