I think it was more along the lines of, "I'm not sure I believe they're actually targeting kids." And then, "oh my God the UN has video evidence of Israel targeting peace keepers."
I don't think most people are okay with killing kids. The hurdle is getting them to realize it is happening.
How can anyone not be sure, with all the videos, the reports from the NGO, hell even the bragging from the IDF
Because it's contrary to the narrative they already believe. Facts don't change feelings. At least not at the pace they should.
I didn't make my point well enough. I'm going to copy a response to another commenter here and hopefully that helps.
The point is people can hand waive a lot to feel better about the world they live in. I'm not going to complain because it took this other thing to get them to the realization. I'm just going to welcome them in. In fact this is the exact kind of meme I would run if I was trying to push people away from the BDS movement.
I'd believe that if it wasn't for all the video evidence of them killing kids, or the fact the average age in Gaza before the genocide was already under 16.
