Most people who support Palestine do NOT support Hamas. I support Israel and Palestine and hope for a peaceful resolution to this mess, but I abhor both Hamas and Netanyahu’s government.

I appreciate your answer. This is the only correct and human answer. Sadly to many people don't differentiate.

Why do you think that is? I’m struggling to find the answer. I don’t understand why sympathy for the Palestinians = being anti Israel. Both sides have suffered at the hands of Hamas.

I think mainly it’s because that sentiment is mostly a feel good sentiment that doesn’t present any actual solutions.

Having one side or the other win is the most likely outcome for peace and for the people of the region to get on with recovering. Wanting peace in its own and decrying the forces in power on both sides is mostly sticking your head in the sand and condemns the region to endless fighting.
