Hamas did attack a festival and fought people they encountered there (police and army). Hamas did kill some Israeli civilians. But Hamas being an imperfect resistance group is enough for liberals to solely focus on condemning Hamas and showing support for an apartheidsregime that has been committing genocide for decades now.
If they were alive during the time in which the native Americans fought back, they would’ve sided with the colonists. They would have sided with apartheid South Africa. They would cheer on the destruction of Vietnam. Because they can’t think further than ‘killing is inherently bad, and my government says to hate you’.
It was so close that you could hear the music from within Gaza.
This interview of Norman Finkelstein by Chris Hedges is thorough. He talks at length about grappling with the moral implications of the Al Aqsa Flood operation, including from his position as the child of two Holocaust survivors. He draws parallels with Nat Turner and John Brown and responses by William Lloyd Garrison and C. L. R. James.

They would have been the colonists. They still are.

Israel’s long war on Gaza w/Norman Finkelstein | The Chris Hedges Report 34:48 is where they talk about the music festival in particular.
Not only that, but they tried to frame it as a “peace” festival.
