Sure. They can. The issues are separate. And two things can be discretely discussed, or protested, simultaneously.
Murder of civilians
Renouncing Hamas
But I notice a common behavior among Israeli genocide defenders. When they speak of the conflict, the time between 1947 and 2023 is not to be mentioned, and suddenly 1 and 2 merge into a single issue, they focus on 2 as if their life depends on it. Any mention of 1, just play the antisemitism card.
They have to do that, play dumb, because 1 is not defensible on its own, but if I merge it with 2 I don’t have to have hard thoughts. People just disagree because they hate Jews. Otherwise they’d stand by and let the Jews mass murder Muslims, right? If anyone mentions 1, I’ll just mention 2 and ignore their words.
Anyway, It’s a transparent and cowardly psychological defense mechanism. Sad to see that many are incapable of seeing Israel (and its allies) for the genocide sponsors that they are.
