Is it really a gotcha that CIA is pushing money towards orgs that are in opposition to a US adversary? Is the French resistance during ww2 tainted because they received support from OSS?

Kind of. The US isnt helping push back a horde of Nazi invaders this time.

They're trying into install a literal monarchy on behalf of a regime which is guilty of committing a Nazi style genocide.

Probably a little skepticism is warranted on their casualty figures.

  • Israel's genocide is anything but Nazi-like.

    It's more ethnic cleansing via conflict than it is industrial racially targetted murder.

    Remember Israel has millions of "Arab Israelis"/Palestinians living in Israel proper.

    • Yes. It's anything but genocide too unless you redefine genocide in some idiosyncratic way that suits your particular world view.

    • The Nazis didnt go from 0 to industrial scale slaughter either. They also planned for ethnic cleansing by deportation to Africa first.

      The salient features are mass slaughter and land grabs motivated by a racial supremacy based ideology. In these respects they are identical.

      Those Arabs dont feel entirely safe living as second class citizens in a society where UN recognized genocide of their brothers and sisters goes unpunished and chants of "death to arabs" have become louder every day.
