You can see it in this very thread in terms of the reactions to Thunberg. If anyone expresses any concern for Palestinian lives there are two responses 1) they must be Hamas supporters and therefore antisemitic, or 2) they don't care about Israeli lives. I myself care about human life period. I don't consider a life more valuable if the person is Israeli or Palestinian, Jewish, Muslim, or Christian. My heart goes out to the families of the hostages slain by Hamas and the tragic victims of the Oct 7 attacks, and it equally mourns for the civilians (but not Hamas militants) killed by IDF assaults on Gaza. That makes me an anathema around here and subject to contempt.

In terms of Thunberg, she is immediately hated because she is protesting as part of a free Palestine movement. With no evidence, they assume she is pro-Hamas, something repeated daily toward any and all protestors, whether true or not. It makes them feel better about expressing contempt toward everyone who cares about the plight of Palestinian civilians.
