We should be able to be pro-palestine and still be capable of calling this a terrorist attack. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have nothing to do with the war that could have been killed in this attack. I work in aviation, for an airline that has regular flights to Tel Aviv, and it terrifies me that I, or someone close to me could've been there.
Ben Gurion is used for military deliveries by countries such as the US. Ben Gurion airport is a military base.

Also there is a secret nuclear missile site underneath Ben Gurion airport.
Ben Gurion airport is also a civilian airport where there are civilians.
Hospitals in Gaza were used by civilians yet israelis don't give a shit about that and make the "human shield" noise after dropping bombs. Cry me a river.
It is possible for all of the following to be simultaneously true:
While all of the above crimes are of roughly the same type (albeit for different reasons), they do differ in extent - the Israeli War Cabinet is responsible for the most suffering by a wide margin.
I think it is a morally consistent position to condemn all of the war crimes above, although perhaps to prioritise efforts condemning the bigger ones.
Only 1 and 3 are actually true in reality. Yemen and Hamas are not targeting civilians. The majority of Israel's population are in the military or reservists, by choice.
Morally consistent with trump calling nazis very fine people
