During WWII and the holocaust if one said they are for only for peaceful protest against the Nazis or one said they are against the resistance fighters or soldiers fighting the Nazis what would that effectively mean for those in the concentration camps?
During decades of ethnic cleansing including where children have been captured, tortured and killed; where non violent protestors have been been repeatedly shot and killed, kidnapped and tortured to death; where journalists have been tortured and killed; where there have ongoing blockades to starve and murder people; where israel regularly “mows the lawn”; where medics have been routinely killed; where the Gaza strip has been a test bed for weapons sold at arms fairs; where the largest organ trafficking per capita against the palestenians is ongoing; where palestinians have been reguarly sexually tortured and abused; where the homes and livelihoods have been regularly razed for settlers; and THEN followed by the last few years by a genocide what does it mean to be against the palestinian resistance fighters?
What does it mean to believe what the West and Israelis say about said resistance fighters fighting a genocide where the West and Israelis are active perpetrators? What does such lack of support effectively mean for palestinians?
It means effectively supporting their death.
There is a reason why the west lionises the likes of Gandhi and MLK and strips them of any real radicalism (especially the latter) and forgets their context in history - their “non-violence” had leverage because of the alternatives of “violence” the oppressors faced from their contemporaries lead by Baghat Singh/Fred Hampton/Malcolm X etc to name the most famous of them.
In liberalism often the violence of the oppressor is normalised and the resistance to that is considered exceptional; one has to reflect why that racism should ever be consider acceptable if one wants to consider consider the oppressed as fully human.

We are marxists. A lot of used us to be liberals. I wouldn’t be surprised if a significant chunk of us used to think like you. Marxism is a science. Consider reading around on the science of liberation struggle. Ask any question you like.
Shhhh! No no no no no! You can’t compare the State of Israel to Nazi Germany, you’ll get on the Canary Mission for that!
