It needs not even be Hasbara: it's a pretty standard technique of Liberals who support some immoral position (generally it's about things like cutting the support for the poorest which is social security or having healthcare privatised) to try and leverage identity politics by unreasonably stretching some vague association with a liberal identity group to excuse it or deflect criticism of it (a quite common one is for politicians that happen to be female to bat away criticism of their immoral positions by claiming the criticism is because they are women), so I wouldn't at all be surprised if the source of this specific framing is actually the Biden Administration/Democrat Party trying to make their support for Zionism and their Genocide seem less immoral.
Not saying it's for sure the Democrats rather than the Zionists because with these two is hard to tell as they both would do it:
Either way, the whole "argument" stinks of hypocrisy and machiavelism.
