The worst part is I can't tell if this if people genuinely thinking this and commenting, or if the comments are the results are part of an Israeli cyber operation to sway public sentiment after bombing civilians.

there are significant resources deployed to shape Israel's image favorably, especially amongst the US public
We can infer that at least some portion of it is from your comment quietly getting downvoted to hell while nobody bothers to refute it.
You mean the opposite?
OP only has 3 posts and one comment, 3 of these 4 interactions are Anti-Israel/Pro-Palestine.
Top-commenter (jakob) has only that one comment and no posts in the profile.
You might have a point 🤔
Could be that they both decided to make accounts because they had something important that needed saying.
While new/seemingly single issue accounts can be an aggravating factor when you suspect someone of being a troll or otherwise dishonest actor, it shouldn't be considered suspicious for their first posts/comments to be a completely reasonable take on a controversial topic.
I don't remember what my first comment on Lemmy was, but there's a 50/50 chance it was something honest about a controversial political topic.
The other 50 are 30% chance of trying to be funny on a meme post and 20% commenting on how adorable an animal is.
The IDF messages all civilians to evacuate before bomb their area, because of terror activity in it.
They do it digitally in SMS messages, loudspeaker announcement, and physical paper flyers over the air.
A civilian who doesn't evacuate is either prisoner of Hamas, or a terrorist is self.

That line of arguing might have worked a few weeks ago, but we have seen numerous times people were bombed in the place they were specifically told to evacuate to. 11,000+ people killed so far, over 4,000 children. If they aren't terrorists then they are prisoners like you said, so why are they being slaughtered by IDF bombing?
