Ah gotcha. Sorry I thought you were talking about some entity’s official position. I have no doubt that every comment on every topic on the spectrum exists in rando internet posts. Carry on.
Seen some folks suggest Hamas deserves critical support because they’re the lesser of two evils by fighting imperialist/colonialist/western powers. Obviously a controversial take for many, though it doesn’t attribute Hamas as left wing. (Maybe relatively in the plainest sense imaginable?)
Otherwise I have also seen discussion on organizations like the PFLP apparently also fighting in Gaza right now: effectively(?) allied with Hamas. Understandably this works out to them being seen as supporting, if not a part of, Hamas. (Note: I am not sure of evidence of either coordination or fighting between them alike.)
I haven’t seen any calling Hamas as itself left wing, though. Maybe I can see how someone could interpret the above as furthering some leftist theory, or think that’s the argument at work?
Interestingly, from both sides that;s the ONE idea I’ve never heard suggested by anyone.
I can get you examples from Lemmy if you’re genuinely curious.
