Basically, because the Israelis horribly oppress, deprive, and otherwise are disgusting towards the Palestinians (denying them food and needed supplies, blockades, bombing the fuck out of them, destroying schools/hospitals, killing children, and so on and so forth). People tend not to like that. And pro-Israel activists' claims of "self-defense" fall kind of flat when you're talking about a Palestinian bomb killing one Israeli citizen being retaliated against with a strike that kills tens or even a hundred Palestinians, or maybe destroys a hospital, or maybe kills some little children. Not to mention the whole "let's take their land, demolish their homes, and give them to ~our people~" settlement bullshit, and the "let's treat every Palestinian ever like a terrorist and deny them basic necessary supplies for life like concrete for building homes and medical supplies and act like the people opposing our blockade that keeps aid out of Palestine are the ~bad guys~ and aiding those evil, evil terrorists by bringing them baseball bats and medicine and schoolbooks."

tl;dr: The Israeli state is basically monstrous towards the Palestinians. Period, end of story. While this doesn't mean Israeli people are always horrible or anything, it does mean exactly what I said: Israel (the state / the government / the majority of the people who vote) are completely, inexcusably inhumane and horrible to Palestine / the Palestinian people.
