I'm that person who tries to see the best in people or situations, or at least not make snap judgements unless or until I'm shown otherwise, and I understand the big picture here. 

Granted, the idiots could be the same paid protesters from 2020 and are only in it for the money, but the intent behind the curtain is the same. Genocide.

As you said, there are lots of reasons for withholding judgement.  
If you assume that every Palestinian and everyone who cares about Palestinians is bent on genocide of all Jews, then ethically you have no choice but to imprison or kill all of them.  Then ethically there's no difference between you and them.  
No.  You have to assume, even if most Palestinians want to kill all Jews, that many do not.  If you say "kill em all and let God sort em out" then you're the bad guy, not them.

Same problem as always. The left and people who can't think for themselves (but I repeat myself), are SO good at breaking down the speech of the right. We have dogwhistles and gaslighting and implicit racism and mansplaining and virtue signaling and code switching and micro aggressions and deadnaming and misgendering. The left literally tried to ban the OK hand sign after a joke post made it a white power symbol. Our moderates are naive and gutless.

Try to police their language though, lol. "We're just giving them the benefit of the doubt."
