This reminds me of the positions of the major left groups in the city I used to live in. When I disagreed with them they were yelling at me that Hamas IS fascist and that settler colonialism is not a useful construct as it "divides workers" and Palestinians and Israelis need to unite, etc. It pisses me off that this chauvinism is so common with the orgs in my area and the West and they talked over anyone who disagreed. They even spoke over Palestinian voices present to tell them that there is a difference between their resistance and "useful" resistance.
From my experience on october 7th there was two types of white leftists, first condemned Hamas because they throw women off of buildings, the other supported Hamas even though they throw women off of buildings, everyone else was confused why they thought Hamas throws women off of buildings.
