It comes down to the fact that they are bigots. They paint with a very broad brush, whether it be their political enemies, people of other ethnicities, members of non-Christian religions, etc. This is a direct result of their being simple-minded. (Please note that in this case, simple-minded doesn't mean stuріԁ. It just means simplistic in their thinking. Some very smart people I know are simple-minded.)
In a nutshell, here's what they think.
1. Israel is good. That is a given. It says so in the Bible.
2. Terrorism is bad. We all know this.
3. On October 7th, 2023, Hamas terrorists launched an attack on Israel.
4. Hamas is the de facto government of Palestine.
Pretend for a moment that you believe all four of those to be absolute, indisputable fact. Now also pretend that you have stopped gathering information at this point, and have reached a conclusion. The only conclusion you can reach at this point is that Israel = good, Palestine = bad.
Given this very simplistic conclusion, it's easy to see how these people would assume that anyone who disagrees with Netanyahu's campaign of genocide must hate Jews, because they are not accepting new information that might change their conclusion. Israel good. Palestine bad. If you like Palestine, you must hate Israel.
