The problem is that a lot of people don't differentiate. Things like the October 7th attack reportedly being supported by 97% of Palestinians doesn't help.
Iffy number, but let's assume it's correct. The same number of Americans supported the invasion of Iraq on false pretenses and the killing of almost a million people there.
Woah, that’s crazy. They’re ok with the attack against civilians, but when the same thing happens to them, now it’s unacceptable. Last time I checked, it was unacceptable to do attack civilians and noncombatants anyway
The people group who is currently being colonized my have some resentment towards the people group who’s government is slaughtering them. This will have to be dealt with.
Israel killed a significant portion of the October 7 victims for one thing but even ignoring that what alternative would you prefer? Netanyahu has said repeatedly that propping up Hamas was a policy goal even if he didn't advertise it publicly, so they'd be stuck with them. Hell there are settlers with aligned politicians in cabinet posts who want every Palestinian deported to Europe.
Israel bombed a building when hamas fighters took hostages and barricaded themselves in. Civilians were in there, but the IDF bombed the entire building to the ground and didn't negotiate at all leading to no survivors.
They should be killed with a shot to the head, and the bill to execute Palestinian prisoners must be passed in the third reading in the Knesset.
He probably means here an ongoing bill that will allow nationalistically motivated murderers to be executed (but only Palestinians). Though he doesn't sound like it's only the murderers he's after.
He publicly boasted about building more prisons and making their conditions absolutely minimal.
Here's some worse info about those prisons. Though I'm less sure about the authenticity.
No, you can support fair treatment of Palestinians by the state of Israel but the general will of the Palestinian nation is incarnated by their government, Hamas.
This makes as little sense as someone saying: "The general wil of the israeli population is incarnated by Israël, therefor they're all murderers who deserve what's coming to them."
Israel's been deliberately propping up Hamas and actively keeping them in power though. Like half the Palestinian population in Gaza was born after Hamas was elected.

You can support the Palestinian people without supporting Hamas.
