Many leftists are extremely idealist and get swayed by Western opinion a lot. They dont support Hamas because Hamas are not the perfect MLs freedom fighters. This is childish and just gives ammunition to the liberals to discredit Hamas’ stance. This criticism of Hamas goes against the global decolonization cause. Every time a decolonial group fights against their oppressor, they are criticized even by leftists. Is this what Lenin referred to as left-com?
It sucks that people who one thought were comrades end up doing this. Like are we even on the same team or are you just a closeted liberal? It is crazy, unscientific and unmaterialistic to not consider Palestinian material conditions, and to not consider who they made their champions for this cause, but instead to apply your idealism to the situation.
“Israel” exists as an extension of imperialism (currently for the US). Some pro-Zionists may have been motivated by wanting Jews out of Europe, but that wasn’t the main reason. Also, if a Jewish state were to be established after the dissolution of “Israel” (worth considering that no other large religion has its own state), it shouldn’t be on another piece of stolen land
There’s also the elements of millenarianism; millions of Christian Zionists support Israel because they believe it will immanentize the eschaton and bring about the return of Jesus, after which all Jews will either convert to Christianity or be sent to the lake of fire. If a Jewish state were established somewhere else they’d lose a huge chunk of support.
certainly, my point is just that that’s not the reason why the US continues backing “Israel”

what to do with the land should be entirely up to the indigenous peoples and the descendants of slaves
