Why do you assume that pro-Palestinian people = pro-Hamas? How many dead Israeli people is enough to justify genocide? Nobody is saying that Hamas are the good guys, but they do often say they understand the material realities that created them (Israeli state actions). Everyone I know that is saying don't commit genocide also say it is not OK for Hamas to kill civilians, often in the same breath.

Edit: Some data for context

How many dead Israeli people is enough to justify genocide?
