Are the so-called Palestinian protestors supporting Palestinians or are they just supporting the convicted felon?

61. I Do Apologize For Personalizing The Matter In Addressing You

I treated you as the focus for making a general comment. I hope the surgery achieved remission.

You are right in suggesting what was done by Hamas on October 7 last has altered my view. Hamas has demonstrated itself able to do real harm, harm it was not capable of a decade ago. Having given now a fully realized demonstration of its intentions and capabilities, Hamas cannot be permitted to continue. This is so no matter what the character of Israel's government is at the moment. Liberation movements hold no copyright on the slogan 'by any means necessary', a state assailed is free to employ it, and act on it, without permission or payment of any royalty. I accept Israel will do what it deems necessary to liquidate Hamas, and have not yet seen its military do anything materially in excess of what strikes me as necessary to the aim. That this entails terrible suffering, and heart-wrenching instances of pain and loss, is something common to all wars, not something peculiar to this one.
