Strange. Your talking points are exactly that of a WhatsApp forward demonising Palestinians in the garb of being "moderate".
It's not just Muslims. Hindus, Christians, Jewish folks, Sikhs, Parsis and a lot of ethnic groups have been protesting for a ceasefire and for Palestine to be freed of occupation. You fail utterly at grasping the basic point here. This was never about religion. This is resisting Zionist occupation by the Arabs (which fyi, also includes Christian Arabs, Jewish Palestinians, Romanis). This is resisting colonial imperialism and ethnic cleansing. Your experience is for nought, if you can't look at the diversity of the population. Your biased viewing of this issue as Muslim Vs Jews is at the heart of the Zionist decree. The cause of Palestine is being voiced by London, Turkey, Ireland, Spain, Colombia, South Africa and countless other countries around the world.
How exactly are you helping prevent collective punishment on the people of Gaza? 47 families have been completely erased off of the civil registry of Gaza. 6747 names have been released by the Gazan Ministry of which more than half are children and women. If we go way back from October 7th, the toll is higher.
My resources come from official stats and recognised organisations, UN particularly which was officially given the reins of the Palestinian question since 1947 as the British Mandate dissolved. For your perusal.

(All the crimes Israel has perpetuated against the Palestinians)
Of course, I do not expect you to ever acknowledge the clear cut genocide being carried out or the years of ethnic cleansing and apartheid that had taken place. You couldn't even support the Zionist project that you so implore the world needs without feigning phony concern for the state of Palestine.
Pipe down.
