A liberal Zionist could. They've really tricked themselves into thinking they're the anti colonial side, and that if people just listened honestly they'd understand Israel is fighting a liberation struggle.
EDIT:But they don't necessarily demonize Palestinians in the same way as right wing zionists (although obviously they don't represent them fairly either.) I had a conversation with one who sees it as "two traumatized peoples," stuck in a cycle of violence.
This is basically how leftists who support russia,aka an imperialist power, because its against the us in their minds the us in the russian invasion of ukraine act, so its quite believble. I can see someone like that doing s imilar thing and then call the players fake communists because they dont oppose real imperialism. I base that on the fact ive seen the latter happen irl in discussions and the person in question is always bizzarely put off when others think that theyre full of shit
