Basically any movement against bad people who happen to be part of a minority seems to get hijacked by bigoted people eventually.
It just means we have to do a bit of extra labour to make sure our movements are not infiltrated by shitbirds. I was just at a protest this weekend, and was pleased by the handful of signs I saw specifically denouncing anti-semitism.
Yes, it sucks that we have to throw in what feels like a parenthetical, while people are bleeding out under tonnes of rubble, but y'know, I guess that's just where we're at as a species right now.
