Hamas committed a direct attack on civilians, without any military target in mind what-so-ever. Obviously this will be a serious crime against humanity in most people's eyes that makes it harder to count Israel's response as unwarranted, counting in their wrongdoings.

With the Rus-Ukr conflict, the same country is both the aggressor and the attacker that started the invasion. That makes it easier to see who the undoubtedly "bad guy" is.

Hamas is not taking part in Eurovision.
A war crime is a war crime and a genocide is a genocide, no matter the justification.
Calling Hammas the aggressor ignores quite a bit of complicated history.
