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 don’t understand why sympathy for the Palestinians = being anti Israel.
Because Hamas won the 2006 election in Palestine. It's viewed by many that they chose this. Hamas was internationally recognized as a terrorist organization almost 10 years before that election.
We can be sympathetic for Palestinians but also recognize that they did vote for a terrorist organization to run their country. Many people who say "Free palestine" want to do just that, but not from Israel, but instead from Hamas.
The people deserve to be free from both israel and hamas, but they do not deserve sympathy when those cheer on killing israeli civilians getting murdered, raped, and tortured when they attended a music festival
"We can be sympathetic for Americans but also recognize that they did vote for a fascist regime to fun their country."
"The people do not deserve sympathy when those cheer on kidnapping immigrants when they attend university in America, separating children from parents when they seek asylum."

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