Anyway nobody wants the association with her. She's about as psychotic as it gets. So it seems really weird that she'd post something reasonable along the lines of "screw Hamas, but not the innocents getting war crimed" (paraphrasing of course).
I have a hard time believing she's the one who wrote that. It's not impossible, but something more in her camp would be blaming "the Jews" for collaborating with aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy to try and take over the Middle East or something.
Anyway, if she really did write that, then for as little as it does being nothing more than text on social media, it's at least worth acknowledging. Not praising - she gets that if she starts trying to unfuck the US, which probably won't happen. But acknowleding, sure.

Her siding against Israel is hardly as surprising when you remember her past.

I can't rule that out but her actions haven't been those of a greedy power-grabber. I think she's often been true to her principles even when that hurts her politically. Her principles are fucked up and based on a warped world-view, but I think she is principled.
Pam Bondi is the example I would give for someone that is just going for power. When she was doing the whole Epstein thing, it was made into a big media circus with influencers and no real substance. I think she saw this as her moment to become a rising star on the right, without much thought to the crimes or justice of the situation. That didn't work out for her, but the intentions behind the actions were pretty clear. If MTG is just making power plays, she's pretty bad at it.
