Is the Palestinian coalition splitting apart? [View all]

At least on TikTok I'm seeing a divide between black/brown people who support the Palestinian cause but also plan to vote for Kamala and what I would call purists / far left / single issue voters who are attacking them for voting.

I don't think the latter group realizes how much damage they're doing and how many supporters they are losing.

Anyone else seeing something similar over the last few weeks? It's gotten very intense over the last few days.
