What's the point of this article? That even conservatives can see that Palestine is being victimized? Is it trying to cast doubt on the fact that Israel is committing genocide by associating the idea with undesirables?
The latter, clearly.
The 2nd one. And the exact same message is actually going out in the right wing world. They're being told that believing in Palestine's right to exist is libtard subterfuge, therefore you MUST support Israel and hate Palestine if you want to oppose the left. Only american fox news types seem to be into it. The fact that I'm now seeing this article trying to associate Palestine with right wing extremists instead, it feels like a crappy editorial cartoon came to life.
It shows that these people are populist leeches that will agitate against whatever the perceived establishment is doing. They're just anti-everything, whatever gets them the most attention at any point in time: Anti-immigration, anti-LGBTQ, anti-vaccination, anti-Israel, you name it.
Also, we should equally not forget that Hamas and their Palestinian, Arab and Islamic supporters are perpetrating a genocide against Israel and the Jewish people.
