There's more than a couple reasons a lot of westerners don't really see Gazans as victims, some of them aren't even racism.

Would be way easier to argue their case if October 7th didn't go the way it did.

It was just a really bad decision.

I'm personally in favor of cutting ties with Israel as well, considering they've strayed so far away from civility and are indeed killing a shitload of people. But I have very little compassion for the people of Gaza, given what they largely want and support. They want to fight and thresh and kill until one side is dead and gone, and we all know which side that will be. Everyone knows, except them.

It was just a really bad decision.

Hamas made that decision, not the Palestinian people. Just like the executive branch is choosing to send over more weapons, not the US people.
