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.
