As Orwell warned us, fascists take a term or fact and use it to mean the exact opposite.
Canaanites who adopted Judaism moved into the area now known as Israel and Judah (which literally means "Land Of The Jews"). Later, Philistines, Aegean fishers, inhabited the area now known as Gaza. Colonizers and Oppressors attacked Israel/Judah, and Philistia. Historians, with the aid of genetic scientists, indicate Philistines they ceased to exist as a distinct group ~5th Century BC. Unlike their enemies in Philistia, Israel/Judah resisted and persisted. So, the Colonizers and Oppressors renamed Israel/Judah after their enemies. (Much like Trump tried to rename Denali "Mt. McKinley" again.) Thus, the region of Palestine was born -- much the way the US region of "The South" was born, on Cherokee land.
After WWII, antisemitic UK Colonizers and Oppressors reluctantly gave much of Israel back to Israel, but gave two parts of Israel to others in exchange for peace neighbors gave. Time and again, Israel resisted and persisted.
A Free "Palestine" elected Hamas. Taking advantage of rising worldwide fascism, Hamas broke a ceasefire to attack a music festival and commit numerous Crimes Against Humanity. These crimes continue every day that Hamas holds hostages. Yet, anything Israel does to bring back its people and bring the War Criminals to justice is labeled as "Palestinian Genocide."

"Did you hear about that 12 year old girl in France who was gang-raped for being Jewish?"
"Damn that Palestinian Genocide! I'm glad Rashida Tlaib doesn't condemn rape!"
"Oh, Hamas used the pipes it was given for water infrastructure to make a rocket, which Hamas fired at Israeli civilian centers, only Hamas' rocket fell inside Gaza? That's a 'Palestinian Genocide,"'and not by Hamas, but by the INTENDED VICTIMS in Israel!"

Abbreviation of "Reverse Robin Hood."
Many people, even those who claim to hate Reaganomics/Neoliberalism, will argue things like, "If you cancel the student debt of people who had the collateral to take out HUGE loans, and whose annual income exceeds their total student debt, that money will 'trickle down' to others."
That's wrong. That's Paul Ryan's "I Got Mine Now Fuck You" economic plan.
Some will say, Populism -- rule by the "pure" -- is more important than social progress. All it really means is, all of these "progressive" economic plans do indeed help White Hetero Affluent Males climb higher, but at the expense of the Blue Collar Working Class. These Populists may claim this is all part of Class Warfare against the top 2% -- but rather than punch up, they are punching down at legislation that means equal progress for women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, et al. It is stealing from the poor to give to the Affluent White Collar Middle Class, who in turn never do overturn tax codes and other pyramid schemes that give to the Rich. Thus, Reverse Robin Hood.

"DId that Berniecrat actually just say we should prioritize sending rich white boys to college, and ignore children who can't even go to a school with clean water to drink?"

When a White Heterosexual Affluent Male, or WHAM, feels threatened by non-WHAM, particularly in politics or pop culture, he will make obnoxious ad hominem attacks. But because the WHAM typically does not possess much intellect OR self-confidence, he'll enlist the help of other online bullies to swarm his victim: hence, BroHive.
Despite connotations, a responding member of BroHive needn't identify as male -- maintaining Patriarchy has often attracted females like Phyllis Schlaffly, that Jameela Jamil calls "Double Agents."
Similarly, while many associate "Bros" with Bernie Sanders, "BernieBros" is to "Bros" as "Square" is to "Rectangle." Often, BroHive will activate any time you mention, for instance, the Second Amendment. There is seldom an attempt to make any serious point; the swarm will merely make ridiculous Strawman Fallacies.
The point of BroHive is not to change hearts or minds, merely to harass people into silence. They will even do this to people who are ACTIVELY working on the causes that BroHive profiles CLAIM to support, if the victim doesn't support the cause EXACTLY the way the BroHive want. Furthermore, when victims of BroHive defend themselves, the root narcissism of BroHive will make them believe that they, the perpetrators, are actually the victims, at which point they feel justified in doxxing their victims, photoshopping their victims into offensive and often violent memes, etc.

"All I did was point out that Susan Sarandon, a wealthy and privileged white woman, was making some incredibly offensive statements about the Working Class taking a day off before resuming the fight against the GOP, and the BroHive swarmed on me like a field of statice."
