I think there's a lot of thinly veiled islamophobia going around. There seems to be quite a few people that view Palestinians are somehow deserving of being bombed in to the dirt because they did something horrible after half a century of living under apartheid.
It's possible to not excuse the response while understanding why it happened and maybe even making the leap of judgement that if you didn't oppress and terrorise 2 million people for 50 years, make it your government's clear objective to wipe them off the face of the earth, talk about them as animals etc etc. then maybe you wouldn't get the reaction.
And while we talk about it 20,000 civilians, half of which children have been murdered in cold blood. There's a literal ongoing genocide happening right now. Men getting rounded up, children shot in their schools, journalists getting tower blocks dropped on them and their whole family while we have people going "yeah but Hamas". Hamas wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Bibi let alone the aforementioned oppression. These people don't deserve this.
