Just happy that I'm not a useful idiot.

Not that relevant here, as they try to attack Israel with that influence. Like Hamas that organize some protests in the EU [1] or Qatar's Al-Jazeera censoring anti-Hamas criticism from Gazans [2]. So it's more like "if they are attacked by that? why can't they use it themselves."

Like, shooting a gun is bad. But shooting the shooter? Not the same (thus, not "whataboutism" because you can't say "who care about other shooters in the scene - whataboutism!") .
