That conflict is just 76 years old. Even the idology that caused the conflict ist just 130 years old. Before the British colonialism the region had almost no conflict since the crucades.

VERY SERIOUS:

I am just a random person without any stake in this. I just deeply believe the americans are in the wrong for supporting war crimes.

But now I'm being told the russians could be paying me to do this? I mean it's kinda fun. Anybody know who I could ask? Is there a recruitment process or something?

It's more complex than simply stating warcrimes are happening. One side is codifying genocide as their main goal https://embassies.gov.il/holysee/AboutIsrael/the-middle-east/Pages/The%20Hamas-Covenant.aspx and killed over 1000 people on Oct 7.

I understand why israel would want to completely destroy an entity like that. The problem is, as you say, israel is completely disregarding citizen casualties.

Yet, the rhetoric of the above is; democrats are bad. And hamas is to be supported. Why did the leap go to that as the conclusion? I promise you, Trump doesn't care about the brown people in the middle east.
