Which is by design. Israelis are constantly told that they are alone against the world, that literally everyone is an enemy, not because of the horrible shit the Israeli government does on a daily basis, but because of the ancient hatred of Jews.

To be fair, there's a lot of ancient hatred to go around, but after the Holocaust, most civilized nations said no more, and then immediately allowed the newly formed Israeli government to act like 18th century colonizers.

Probably none that weren't already antisemitic. Anyone who's aware enough of the situation to support Palestine likely recognizes that Israel and the Jewish people are two different things.

The only people who conflate the two are either paid to do so by Israeli interests, or are looking for an excuse to express the hatred they already have.

I think a young person whose favorite or younger sibling's favorite wholesome kids person is saying 'please stop murdering children' getting called something for saying 'please stop murdering children' is going to think the thing they're getting called is good and the right thing to be.

And, being slightly less charitable: Americans are painfully stupid reflexive reactionaries who believe in nothing. We can make that distinction. They cannot.
