Terrorist groups = bad. Hamas = bad. Israel = doing nothing wrong.

Yeah, but Anti-Semitism runs deep - especially among the Left - and they'll do whatever they can to dress it up as something else. At the end of the day that's most of what the whole "empathize with the people attacking Israel" thing is; Anti-Semitism with a fancy hat.
There's also the whole ridiculous theory that seemingly everyone on the Left subscribes to, where "If you just give the terrorists what they want, they'll go away and everything will be fine!" Which is preposterous, BUT if you really pay attention to who makes up The Left, it's generally people who got bullied mercilessly in school, never learned how to stand up for themselves, and think that appeasement works, which it never does. So it makes sense why they'd think such asinine things, but it doesn't make sense why any rational person would go along.
