But the Hamas attack against Israel ONLY targeted civilians and OP isn't protesting.

OP is protesting against Amazon providing infrastructure for selecting targets for the IDF to bomb. I'm not aware of Amazon providing services to Hamas, so that the OP is not protesting there isn't that surprising, nor does it imply that OP isn't protesting against Hamas attack.

Speaking about pro-palestinian activism in general, not particularly OP, who I don't know:

If one is an activist, a group commits atrocities and there's no private business related to them, then one sits and do nothing?

The people I see protesting against Israeli invasion of Gaza I failed to see protesting Hamas brutal and inhumane attacks weeks earlier. It seems to me they were silent.

I'm having a really hard time understanding the logic of this kind of activism. It seems to me ideology driven, not humanitarian.

There's nothing to protest against - the government does not support or aid Hamas, and corporations do not support or aid Hamas.

What change would the protests do?

So if it's not possible to boycott an American or Israeli business, there's nothing an activist could do to manifest his support to humanity when innocent people are slaughtered inside their houses by savages?

What support, specifically, would you like to see?

Directly after the attacks the government was overwhelmingly in support of Israel. People do not protest when what they want is already happening.

Is "only" going to share the fate of "literally"?

Adding a disclaimer like "I don't support the 9/11 attacks on WTC but the invasion of Iraq is bad" is akin to subduing to a "have you stopped beating your wife" question.

Is there any company that provide support for Hamas? Inform OP so he can protest like he did to Amazon-Israel.

This thread is probably generating more profit for amazon than a dozen of her purchases. This is hosted on aws.

I don't thinks is a surprise that is exponentially harder to target the military when they have billions of dollars backing them up (yeah I know what some of you gonna say, they should target nobody at all and just suffer in silence, yeah that's not how humans think)

The US does not provide billions in aid to Hamas. What would protesting do?

That's not true. Also, there are no companies supporting Hamas.

Right, I don't want to get drawn into an internet argument, but it's demonstrably false to say that Hamas targeted ONLY civilians. Military bases were run over too.

This is not true, they targeted what they could, including any military equipment they met. The fact is, they didn't met much military resistance since army didn't consider such attack possible (there are alternative theories here but I'll ignore them) and the limited one they met they often overcame.

Many male and female IDF soldiers died in the 7.10. ambush and some were kidnapped back to Gaza, some of them were killed due to very poor / lacking equipment provided by military (overconfidence in intelligence and border protection/monitoring).
