I won’t speak for others, but it’s because I just don’t know.
Yet some posters think they are so sure that they allow it to influence their stance on this issue.
Who is more likely to be influenced by propaganda?

When someone, anyone, calls Israel an occupier, then they are supporting hamas because that is hamas's position.

Are they not the occupier?
I thought Gaza is under occupation and so does the west bank by all metrics and standards. Should we not believe in our eyes?
More Than 500 U.S. Officials Sign Letter Protesting Biden’s Israel Policy
The signers, representing some 40 government agencies, reflect growing internal dissent over the administration’s support of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
The signatories of the State Department dissent cables must disclose their names, but those cables have not been released publicly.
Although the Biden administration has recently started voicing concern over the high numbers of Palestinian civilians killed while urging Israel to show restraint, that budding criticism does not appear to be placating many in the U.S. government.
The letter, a copy of which was reviewed by The New York Times, began by denouncing the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas, then urged Mr. Biden to stop the bloodshed caused by Israel’s retaliatory military campaign in Gaza.
“We call on President Biden to urgently demand a cease-fire; and to call for de-escalation of the current conflict by securing the immediate release of the Israeli hostages and arbitrarily detained Palestinians; the restoration of water, fuel, electricity and other basic services; and the passage of adequate humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip,” the letter states.

They should recognize Israel as a sovereign nation and accept a 2 state solution, instead, they want to kill all the jews.
BTW, how was finals week?

Please don't mention acceptance of 2 states solution out of respect for Natanyahu's efforts to obliterate peace negotiations.

I agree with you that "some" Palestinians such as Hamas don't want 2 states solution, unlike PLO whom have started with Israel "OSLO" agreement.
We also know that Natanyahu openly supports Hamas as opposition power instead of supporting PLO to break the Palestinian government unity over OSLO agreements.

If not, don't equivocate to me, child!

Yes, but “some” is different to “the majority”.
