The Palestinian resistance movement most favored by the left has historically been the PFLP, but they haven’t been that relevant in the post Cold War era. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if some leftists hitched their cart to hamas, a lot of em are shameless opportunists tbh. That’s the whole point of “front groups” etc, trying to gain access in a growing social movement in a desperate bid for relevance
It's just NPC idiocy. I wouldn't read too far into it - not saying there aren't groups looking to exploit such people for their own ends though, both are true.
I'll forgive anyone under 25. No one teaches you how things
really work in the West, it's all deliberately obfuscated, so all they see is 'left vs right'. They'll take the side that seems to oppose the 'right wing' nature of our nations, that sells arms and supports Israel through the media in this current context. Anyone over 25 owes it to themselves to get educated, which unfortunately you have to do yourself and is becoming increasingly more difficult as censorship tightens. Without the internet I'll freely admit I would be no different.. because where the fuck can you get this information? They control virtually all the books/press already.
Taking a political side like that is convenient, and lazy. It's why, legitimately so, that people jibe at young people for owning slave built smartphones while they rant about slavery reparations for example. But yet, neither the young or old really put their finger on the pulse. There's a whole dark apparatus underneath all of this bullshit that goes completely unacknowledged.
Jeremy Corbyn, for example, a very left-wing politician in the UK who still to do this day hasn't outgrown this laziness. Or George Galloway (more of a grifter). Neither of these two have ever called out the City of London as far as I'm aware, and the corruption that exists between the politicians, the media, the military, royalty, lawyers, accountants, and all the rest. Even the journalist Peter Hitchens (brother of Christopher) was a Trot in his youth, but then converted to Christianity and despite literally working in the City not once has ever exposed it (I believe both he and his brother are assets, their father was a naval officer).
I mean we sort of know about 'the swamp' in the USA, because the military industrial complex is so fucking massive and the CIA's crimes so blatant that you can't actually obfuscate it. There was a moment around 2008, especially in the USA, where the left was beginning to ask some serious questions regarding surveillance (pre-Snowden) off the back of Iraq and 9/11, but then it got completely diluted by the culture wars nonsense infiltration. Now the left is just a parody and IMO a tool of this dark apparatus (rather than smaller foreign actors/groups).
