Why does the world, mostly Presidents (and Redditors apparently) condemn the Hamas attack but never condemn the killing of innocent men, women and children in Gaza by Israel (government)?

The death toll of Palestinians apparently seemed to be on 8K(?). And still counting up.

But the Presidents seems to just seriously not give a fuck.

Has the world not learnt from the past?

  • WW1?
  • WW2-Nazi war?
  • Srebrenica massacre?

Why is Israel allowed to basically do what the Nazi Germany did and calls it defending themselves (of innocent men, woman and children) but normal civilians protesting, asking for ceasefire or chanting an sentence is “immensely hateful and must be prohibited”?

Has the world gone nuts?

  • Had to just lose my thoughts. Been really nagging me.

There has been some international criticism of the IDF actions that caused a lot of civilian deaths, but probably less so in the US and Germany where it is very difficult to make any criticism of the Israeli government without being labelled antisemitic. This means it's socially and politically safer to say generic things like "we stand with Israel no matter what". Ironically there is far more critical debate within Israel itself.
