Go show this to all the Free Palestine idiots who know nothing about Palestine and Palestinian politics. I guarantee you a lot of people would support these groups if it wasn't widely known they are backed by the IDF.

It's the same reason why the vast majority of the western leftist free Palestine movement support the Palestinian authority (current internationally recognised government of Palestine) because they make some heartfelt statements at the UN, when in reality they are a US-Zionist Proxy regime which actively fights Hamas and the PIJ ALONGSIDE the IDF.

I'm all for a free Palestine without Hamas (and the PA), but the movement behind it knows nothing about what they are talking about. It drives me insane, because the only reason why most people care is because its popular to hate what Israel is doing (rightfully so, of course). If they just stuck to supporting Palestinian civilians suffering from the Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing, then that would be great.
