Something to Agree on?

Can’t we all at least agree that this was an extremely clumsy sentence from Academy Award-winning Zone of Interest director Jonathan Glazer that invited misinterpretation?

I assume he meant that they repudiate (why would this British guy say “refute”?) Israel’s hijacking both Judaism and the memory of Hitler’s victims in a cause that has produced such horrible consequences for both the Israelis and Palestinians.
