Steve, it's the same mindset which has seen 'eco-activists' put spikes into trees in the American Northwest logging country, hoping to destroy chain-saws - and not caring whatsoever that loggers have gotten maimed or killed by flying debris.
While I don't see a citation for Phoneall's allegations, it's not impossible. Just because an organization is supposedly humanitarian, doesn't vaccinate every last one of its members against bigotry or baggage.
I'd call Phonall's so-far-unsubstantiated allegations "anti-Oxfam" rather than anything else. Again, such views are not unknown: we've seen a couple of posters inveighing against the SPLC, for example.
As to what benefit those actions would be to 'Palestinians' or anyone else - you're missing the point. Some people are so embedded in their ideology that they aren't 'activists' because they care about the cause they supposedly advocate for: they are USING their 'activist' persona to pursue vendettas against those whom their ideology dictates they must target. We've seen some of this in the US from both the 'TEA party' AND the 'Occupy' crowd - both ideologically driven, both extremists.
You yourself, Steve, are an example of an 'ideologue' here, attributing to Zionism attitudes which are NO part of most Zionists' views.
It is NOT Israel which has disenfranchised and ejected citizens of 'non establishment' religion: the entire rest of the ME had done so some 60-odd years ago after the nations of the Arab League drew up plans to revoke the citizenship of their Jewish populations en masse, steal everything they had - and eject them.
Until those who would claim Israel has been 'ethnically cleansing' the Palestinians are willing to address that ethnic cleansing conspiracy - the Palestinian cause is being sullied by their blatant hypocrisy.
That cause is further degraded by the acceptance of blatant Holocaust denial among 'activists' and even governments - your government has made that behavior criminal, Steve. So most of the 'Palestinian activists' are consorting with criminals........
