I agree with you. About the victimhood of the Spanish left, I can understand it. I think it should be difficult to see how the other countries in West Europe are developing, and at the same time see how Spain was stuck in dictatorship.
The German left and their position toward Jews and Israel is a more complicated topic, not only linked to the Shoah, but with a longer history. That goes back to the different positions in the communist parties (KPD strongly antisemitic, KAPD strong criticism to antisemitic positions), the Frankfurter School before WWII, etc.
