For context, the Hodgetwins are black twins who went from general commentary to the conservative sphere on Youtube and are fairly well-known in both. They regularly talk about "stupid niggas," but since the Gaza war, they have been redpilling themselves on Jewish politics and the history of Palestine.
It's safe to say they're in the mainstream. Their audience demos are broad and include a fair number of boomercons. For them to be talking openly about this subject is another bellwether in conservative discourse.
Wait. Those guys are black? Was I supposed to know that?
Fuck! How do you Americans keep up! I know it isn't just how you self identify, otherwise people would believe me when I say that I am black. Is there some kind of authority that issues cards? Do you have to show your race cards whenever you are challenged?

It's often pretty tricky.
Traditionally if freedmen could marry a white it was like hitting the lottery--one step closer for children to "pass" and enter white society. Weird stuff happens with genetics. You can have someone who is "mulatto" (1/2 black and 1/2 white) who looks almost fully white. You can have a "quadroon" (1/4 black and 3/4 white) who looks full African, etc.
It's said that mixed individuals used to keep their nails clipped very closely, because the color of the fingernail oftened was evidence of black ancestry.
Anyway, to your question, it used to be that claiming to be white was the goal. Today, you get more social benefit from being black, so it has switched in the opposite direction.
Edit: mulatto, quadroon, octoroon, etc., are extremely dated terms today
That video at the end: "there are no innocent people in Gaza except the hostages."
Sure sounds an awful lot like the sentiments of Hamas: "there are no innocent Israelis."
There's no way this ends with peace. Two supremacist religions sharing borders ends with one supremacist religion controlling the entire region, one way or another.

Meanwhile, 'nazi youtuber' Arch was lamenting how 'zionism' used as a pejorative is growing in use in a livestream today.

I just can't keep up.
The supreme authority is President Pedo Pete and he says they ain't black.
