Ignoring whatever happened in the majority of your comment, that last sentence is a purity test.
A purity test in the context of politics is essentially a test to see how close to an ideology you are in order to exclude those that are less close.
In an example from the gop: all elected gop officials have to swear an oath to never support legalized abortion. This is a red line and has been since the 1970s, and is the primary purity test for that party.
What this person is talking about is the same, the idea that no one that aides or supports genocide should be a part of (presumably) the left or anti GOP side of politics.
This purity test, however, means you can’t logically vote for Biden or Harris, and Zionists shouldn’t be allowed in the left regardless of any support for lgbtq they may show. Since they explicitly support genocide.

I feel like this is some sort of sly insult 😅
Like, imagine having a polite conversation with someone and they respond with “ignoring whatever happened when you just opened your mouth,…”
Does this mean we can’t be friends? But you’re so well spoken and cool ):
Ignoring whatever happened at the start of your comment, that’s fascinating! I assumed it was a biological test, silly me. I suppose I agree with the general concept there, I don’t really want people who support genocide to be involved with anything I’m involved with, where possible.
Giving it some thought though, life isn’t so cut and dry, someone who likes genocide might also live in my neighbourhood and share some of my beliefs about needing the bin men to come round more often, and thus we’d find ourselves allied at a local Council meeting or such, where preferably I’d not want them to be involved in anything I’m involved in, but in this case it’d harm my own cause to try to exclude them.
So, do you lock them out of things for that one belief - potentially weakening your own cause, or do you let them participate - thus diluting your opposition of the thing they support that you are against (e.g. genocide)?
I suppose it’s a difficult question that we all must look inwards to our moral compasses and answer for ourselves.
P.S I looked up what gop means for those out of the loop, it means “Grand Old Party”, which is another name for the current ruling political party in over the pond in the USA (officially called Republican Party).
