The western Palestinian movement has become a hate group, and isn't making any effort to mitigate anti-semitism within it's ranks. Only make excuses are you are doing.
This flotilla is an anti-Israel propaganda mission, it doesn't have anything to do with humanitarianism. Everyone, I mean everyone, knows Gaza is being blockaded and everyone knows there is no possibility of this ship actually getting to Gaza. One wonders if they even bothered to actually put food on the ship, because the point isn't actually to get food to Gaza. The point is entirely about pushing an anti-Israel narrative.
Israel is not a single person. The Israelis being held hostage are certainly victims. Antisemitism in the west has reached a point where it's no longer safe to raise awareness that Hamas is still holding Israelis hostage, see the Boulder, CO attack. You're being told you should dehumanize all Israelis (along with anyone that even has empathy for Israelis) so you can believe a simple narrative where all Israelis are evil. Likely you're also being told that anyone that has empathy for Israelis being held hostage are evil (aka the "Zionist Jews"). You're probably just not to the point where you're believing all Jews are evil, but you might be willing to look the other way about the actions of those that do.
That's how antisemitism works. 100% of the population of Nazi Germany didn't hate Jews. They only needed to be made willing to look the other way and not ask too many questions while the Nazis were doing what they were doing.
You should be more willing to question the motives of the "Free Palestine" movement. "Free Palestine" were the words of a nutjob that tried to kill as many Jews he could simply because they had empathy for people being held hostage. What is the real goal of this movement? How are they trying to accomplish those goals?
You completely defeat your point by conflating Zionism with Judaism. Zionism is antisemetic as it literally discriminates against Jews.
Goal is simple. Peace for all. And the obsticle to that is the far-right extremist Zionist government of Israel, not Jews.

All you need to do to see the goal is actually read instead of blindly reposting Zionist talking points paid for by Israeli government.
These are two comments that you have made, and I think people are pointing out the contradiction:
Also, in your opinion, what should people do in order to end the suffering and violence? Not just for any particular side, but for everyone.

See I can make inflammatory shit too. Mine is even a little more accurate. :)
You sure are using a lot of words to defend a genocide
FREE FREE PALESTINE!
For what it is worth I mostly agree with you. It seems that stopping antisemitism as become mostly a conservative talking point.
With that being said, the Colorado governor made that hate for any group in Colorado will not be tolerated after the hate crime in Boulder.
We've also had to pass laws here in Canada prohibiting protesting places of worship in some places. It's because the "pro-Palestinian" were protesting Canadian Jews because.... why?
The Antisemitism is rampant in that movement. It's just a hate movement now. What do you suppose white supremacist looks at on the internet? An endless stream of videos and articles about black people committing crimes. Is that all that different from what the pro-Palestinian crowd looks at daily?
