Guess I gotta clarify my point:

I’m saying pro-Zionists like the comparison because it makes killing civilians more palatable.

PS: from that same article you linked:

There are plenty of reasons for Israel to want the world to think Hamas is ISIS – including the hope of marshaling the sort of overseas support that led to the 2014 creation of the 86-member Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. In fighting between 2014 and 2019, the coalition reclaimed all the territory the Islamic State group had seized in Iraq and Syria.

And it is true that the Oct. 7 attack displayed tactics that are remarkably similar to those of the Islamic State group. But as a scholar of ISIS specifically, and Middle Eastern militants in general, I am inclined to agree with those who say the comparison between the two terrorist groups overlooks their underlying differences. The similarities are on the surface, in methods and tactics – but their goals and ideologies remain vastly different.

I would say this is closest to my opinion. They even spell my point out (Zionists use this to make the killing of children look like a woopsie in an overly complicated situation).

Granted I should have better at phrasing it.
