This vibes anecdotally with my local chapter. In the face of overwhelming membership solidarity with Palestinian liberation, the social imperialist reactionaries are purging themselves.

I disagree with that. In the same way that a revolutionary party is functionally a state, if Hamas took over even one city block in Israel for a few hours and said "kill all the Jews, release the rest", they are the dominant power in that time and place and are thereby not part of your logic.

But that is not what they did, so it is a moot point.

Hamas took over and destroyed settlements, because those settlements are illegal and belong to colonizers. They killed the people living there. It wasn't kill all jews, it was kill all occupying settlers. It's not a pogrom because they are being colonized and are defending themselves.

You'll notice I said "but they didn't do that". They were not targeting Jews, they killed and took hostages from among the settler population indiscriminately. That is what made it not a pogrom, not their colonized status.
