When there is mass shooting in schools we discuss the root of the issue. When there is increase of violence we talk about how poverty etc. contribute to it . Only when there is a major massacre related to the colonization of Palestine that people feel like it’s not the time to discuss the root of the issue
We can discuss the root cause of Israel causing targets to be set on innocent Jews (even if these actions that took place on Bondi Beach can never ever be justified).
But what I’m frankly seeing and it really disturbs me, is that pro-Palestinians here and on Reddit shifts the blame on Isreal in a different way. They call it psy-ops or false flag operation by Jews/Israel with no evidence whatsoever. I even got banned from their subreddit when I tried to push back against that narrative. That is honestly antisemitism in its purest form and not the type of discussion that should be had
A school shooting can also definitely be used for victim blaming. Nobody who victim blaming would preface his comment by expressing sympathy for the families of the victims

It could be interpreted as victim blaming in a way that talking about gun control following a school shooting cannot be.
The other side openly engages in that sort of mentality, and I aggressively condemn it.
