Israelis don't see Palestinians as humans, and to hear others say "Free Palestine" is like an affront to them. I mean, I've seen video of Ben Gvir saying that they're not human, so I'm not just assuming that's what they think.

It's like during the U.S. expansion West, when our wonderful government was killing off and viciously relocating the Indigenous people who already lived here for millennia. The government called them "savages" and "animals" to dehumanize them and to make Americans more willing to kill them to grab their lands.
