I think that people should support Turek but I also don't think it's the equivalent to the theoretical Christchurch example because El-Sayed was pretty explicit that it was wrong.

Violence is a cycle. Ayman Ghazali lost family, including two children, in an airstrike in Lebanon last week. They were innocent people. And then, in an evil act of displaced rage, he tried to take it out on innocent children, who had nothing to do with the loss of the innocent children he lost, except that they share a faith.

Temple Israel is not the state of Israel. Jewish people are not the state of Israel, and the people of Israel are not the political actors who make direct choices for the State of Israel.

“Not one house at a time. The entirely of those villages — their demolition has been completed. We’re talking about 15,000 to 20,000 homes. All 24 of these villages have been destroyed and Bint Jbeil, which is beyond this area (of southern Lebanon) has been destroyed,” Katz says.

This doesn’t stop being ethnic cleansing just because you strongly support it

Wow, amazing how Israel was not targeting them for being Shia and instead just happened to find twenty thousand military targets.
