What's the deal with leftist Western Jews and gays supporting Hamas and the Palestinians, who would absolutely murder them without remorse, if it could? It goes back to the Soviet incubation of oppression theology in Western academia.
The Soviets used Marxist theory to teach "resistance" groups to set aside their differences and work together against their common class and ideological enemies, the capitalist oppressors. Worldwide socialism was presented as a brotherhood.
Supposedly all these groups were brothers and sisters under the skin, because they were all oppressed by capitalism and imperialism. Socialism and communism were peddled as great unifying forces that would bring them together against their class enemies in a worldwide struggle.
This had the happy benefit of teaching Western dupes not to dwell on the imperialist, racist, and authoritarian tendencies of the Soviet empire itself. "No enemies on the Left!" they taught, giving Moscow a free pass for every imperial action it took.
This aspect of oppression theology casts a very long shadow. Young leftists today are taught to look at all oppressed resistance groups as brothers - even those which not only threaten favored left-wing constituencies, but actively persecute and kill them.
This is the seed of the growing alliance between the hard Left and radical Islam, which violently opposes a great deal of what the Left supposedly stands for. These two authoritarian ideologies have a few big things in common, like their penchant for speech codes.
Oppression theology slots brown Islamic people into the "victim" role, even though Islamic governments are almost always oppressive on a scale that should make leftists take up arms against them, and quite a few of those governments are run by filthy rich oil magnates.
For today's leftist, the important thing is banding together with the oppressed Palestinians to fight white Jewish capitalist oppression. They are willing to give their Resistance allies a pass on all that "throwing gays off of buildings" stuff.
Some leftists think the danger that radical Islam will take power in the West and start persecuting LGBTQ types is too remote to worry about. (They are gravely mistaken, as anyone watching events in Europe today should understand.)
Others are willing to pin the blame for anti-LGBTQ and pocket Holocausts on the white oppressor capitalist Israeli government. The Palestinians will flourish into good members of the world socialist brotherhood once the oppressors are defeated!
Generations of academics were taught that Marxism is magic. Once the capitalist oppressors are defeated, people power will correct all other social ills. The Palestinians are depraved on account of they're deprived. Resistance today, Utopia tomorrow. /end
