The linked tweet says this was a criminal gang. While the lumpenproletariat (a class of which I am a proud member, mind you) can have class consciousness and can be revolutionary, oftentimes we will just do whatever and while we often are not pieces of shit, we each possess a moral compass that looks like someone threw it against a fucking wall, repeatedly. Like for example, in this fictional story I’m writing, the main character knows one or more drug dealers who are very progressive-minded, or even of marginalized identities (LGBT, women, neurodivergent), who get their shit from literal neo-Nazis or other dirtbags (whom they are, weirdly enough, on friendly terms with); one of the characters is simultaneously a feminist and accepting of LGBT people, a very kind person, and also a fucking Trump supporter.
Not trying to suggest these dudes weren’t pieces of shit, mind you.
The morals of these people aside, I would've thought as a matter of self preservation they wouldn't be working with people literally bombing their homes and hospitals; it has to be difficult even for them under these circumstances.
Ah but thats the trick; the Israelis have purposefully stopped bombing them so they can prey on the weak and cause discord, steal aid and whatnot. The Zionists have created material benefit for people to collaborate.
