US political commentator Lauren Chen has claimed that the "woke left" has a "questionable alliance" with Palestine when it comes to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The political commentator also slammed the group "Queers for Palestine."
Discussion surrounding this apparent discordant alliance between some people in the LGBTQ community and fundamentalist Islam has seen a resurgence with the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Chen joined Mark Dolan on GBN America to give her take on the demonstrations and the "woke left."
She said: "Well, it's this idea that really every struggle needs to be every single struggle.
"We can talk about this in light of the Israel-Palestine conflict. It's not just about that specific conflict.
"We need to bring in the racial aspect of it all, the issue of colonialism, you also have, strangely enough, intersectional queer theory trying to attach itself.
"We've seen Queers for Palestine, one of the more questionable alliances to come out of this idea of intersectionality
"I guess it's the idea that any struggle needs to be representative of the revolution, of the Marxist takeover, what have you.
"This is again another reason why, even if you are sympathetic to what's happening in Gaza right now, I would caution you very strongly against making allies out of these woke leftist activists who might, on the surface, share your opinions.
"If you go deeper than that, it's not just about Israel-Palestine. It is about secularism in general, racism in general, oppression by European people of native indigenous populations in general."
