Todays western left is more eager to pose than to act, and in this situations, when leftist say such things as “supporting arm resistance” it’s just make people turn away.

Genocide supporters aren't people silly.

If you still didn't understand hamas were right to fight back against their genociders you might as well be a genocide denialist. Don't pretend to be a good person.

I don't pretend to be a good person. I don't care, I'm no biggot.

I'm pointing out that the representation of anti-imperialism stand is not necessarily a concrete anti-imperialist stand. Thinkinq that being verbal about a cause is supporting it, and that "being a good person" a politic goal, is not being materialist, and could not lead to concrete change.
