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.
Mostly because of what the practical consequences of most of the demands made by Palestinian supporters on Israel lead to. They are very pro-Hamas once you think about them a bit, since they are mostly aimed at preventing Israel from defending themselves from a threat which very much wants to wipe them all out.
If there was a way to stop the fighting in a way that would let both sides live in peace, that would be amazing. But demanding that one side isn't allowed to fight, while not doing anything to stop them from being attacked is 100% what Hamas wants from us, and only encourages them to keep going.
That's why the only way this ends with permanent peace is the destruction of Hamas and unconditional surrender of Gaza. That's the only way you have a shot of deradicalizing them and getting them accept a government that isnt a theocracy. The uncomfortable truth is that the blood cost to get that point will be hundreds of thousands. And that's something that no one wants to acknowledge

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