Im probably preaching to the choir here but isn't it actually that people are simply creduluous babes and think whatever narrative the media tells them?

I suspect if MSM flipped the narrative on who the 'villains' were most folks would go along.

Some might not even notice the change

Yeah, the average individual denouncing the actions of Hamas are reacting to headlines that describe them as terrorists and child murderers.

"They have a right to freedom, but they shouldn't be killing innocent people"

If MSM rightfully framed it as a rebellion against an ongoing effort to colonize and ethnically cleanse Palestine, then I highly doubt you'd hear quite this many people spouting totally uninformed drivel in support of Israel.
