And one hand sadly even now there are way to many people (e.g. politicians in the country I live) which prefer keep their simple black/white/good/evil world view wear blinders and label anything against Israel as anti driven by antisemitism. That Israel did so themself to doge criticism doesn't help here either. Nor does it help that a lot of antisemitic people do take advantage of this situation to spread their propaganda, sometimes hidden behind a layer of seemingly reasonable arguments.

On the other hand there are enough people which do have a mindset that because what Hamas did the actions by Israel might not be okay but tolerable. I mean especial in more fascist leaning circles you will find a lot of moralistically praising "acting with a iron fist" weather that's in child education, fighting crime or retaliatory military action.

Honestly the situation is a scary mess, with no good way to fix it and where right and wrong become increasingly meaningless in face of a potentially never ending cycle of violence.
