You mean Israel did something comparable to a sudden violent attack on civilians, killing hundreds and taking hostages? Did it also announce the elimination of all Palestinians as a goal for better future by chance? Do Israeli happily shout “our god is the greatest” when they see missiles launching?

And I don’t mean any of this makes killing Palestinian civillians okay. But these are clues that show how they are not adequate. It is normal to see people suffer from their inadequate actions. There is no use in blaming Israel after you start a war against it, just like there is no use in blaming a knife that you stabbed your own throat with.

People can proceed with their sympathy towards Palestinians, and they may even deserve it. But they also deserve all the blame for their poor choices.
