I think their point was, the US supports Isreal and Ukraine, but Ukraines support was conditional on them waging a humane war in self defense, but Isreal has no such restrictions, and the US has been incredibly slow to question them.
Edit - NM, re-read. It’s simpler than that. Ukraine defending itself - good. Hamas defending itself (from a US ally) - bad.
It does kind of stretch “defending themselves” a bit far if it lumps the initial attack. Like, I get how you could somewhat justify it by saying it was the result of decades of apartheid oppression, but targeting innocents isn’t exactly a great way go about that, and why most instantly rallied behind Ukraine after Russia started their war by indiscriminately targeting civilians as well.
Ukraine forced action with their treatment of ethnic Russians in Donbass and Luhansk and by crossing the Russian red lines (which were clearly demarcated in prior diplomatic meetings).
Ukraine and Palestine are the equals in this scenario not Ukraine and Israel

It’s not a stretch, it’s a direct analogy.
