    sadly some ppl get into leftism to simply be against the status quo or to be edgy. The same ppl prolly praise how effectively China is rooting out extremism and fundamental beliefs in Xinjiang

    (The point is the contradiction, not saying China bad)

      Or people get into leftism for good reasons, but occasionally slip into lazy oversimplifications.

        I think that's the case. IDF being considered analogous to Hamas is an easy mistake to make if most of what you've heard is that they're fighting one another. It's shaking off those last bits of both-sidesing.
