It seems many of these countries that have gone further left introduce laws against free speech. See: the UK.

Being reported as maybe. But incitement and abuse has always been illegal and doesn't have much to do with freedom of speech. E.g. see Bob Vylan at glasto calling for death of people... is that really what we want? OK it's no where near as bad as actually killing people, but it's still not ideal!

Yes, I want people to be able to say "Death to the IDF" (or death to Hamas for that matter).

The organisation or the people?
Sweden now famously has a very right-wing party in its ruling coalition.
That's not it. This illiberalism under a far-right government.
