Yes. I can't tell if people are being disingenuous or have very narrow exposure when they pretend to not know that lots of people think the attack was righteous, justified or outright didn't happen and was done by the idf on it's own citizens.
I also don't think people have lived in middle eastern countries and been exposed to the fact that hating jews is pretty much baked in explicitly in people's socialisation. Even in the holy book of Islam tropes about Jews are there about how they went against god for being money lenders who charged interest. (The Christian fuck up is seen as idolatry by claiming Jesus was of God but it's more approved of to marry a Christian than a Jew because they're not as bad).
It's not being islamophobic to point this out or to point out, as someone who has lived in an arab muslim country, that absolute hatred or major suspicion and dislike at the least of Jews is the norm. Perhaps not discussed in public by the more educated and higher class of society but absolutely rife in the majority of the population. Israel is surrounded by countries that want to destroy it and even there palestinians are used as a smokescreen for what is really baked in hatred towards Jews.
Even in Sinai where I have felt safer than anywhere I've been in the world and have always been warmly welcomed, well before recent events, I've seen kids throw stones at Jewish visitors. Children! Hence why I say baked into socialisation and some of these children have never attended a school so this is primary socialisation. When you're embedded into an arab community and trusted people talk more freely so you get to hear real attitudes and beliefs about various topics including what they think of Jews, homosexuals and the idea that a woman can be raped. Men you've known for years, love and think are ace chilled people will suddenly really shock you with their level of contempt.
Ironically I feel like I'm going to be attacked for Islamophobia now despite having spent a running total of about 9 years of my adult life living in a Muslim country and very happy living with Muslims in arab cultures.
I just don't think people aware of what they're talking about in terms of how Jews are viewed and dehumanised in that part of the world. I don't think people can understand how unsurprising it is that Palestinians did the things they did on October 7th and how many people cheered them on - like 'normal' people.
I don't think they understand what a knife edge Jews live on in the middle east or that a large part of the Israeli Jewish population was people thrown out of surrounding Middle Eastern countries - like literally long before Gaza the Jewish communities who had lived peacefully alongside Muslim fellow citizens were driven out following ideology not at all dissimilar to that of the Nazis.
This denial that Jewish people are not and have not always been a persecuted people with the same tropes and propaganda following them for centuries and that events of October 7th are not representative of what at least half of the people in the surrounding nations would like to see happen on mass is just naive or disingenuous.
Sorry long and probably repetitive.
