I think the root of the Palestinian issue has to do with the direct funding of Israel by the USA. The regimes in play in Syria aren't so cut and dry with things like funding and direct aid. That's a remarkable difference despite geolocation.

I also think if you asked ten people about what 'should' happen with Palestinian or Syria you'd get ten different answers regardless of political leaning. Which is probably part of the problem as to why there's a bottomless well of bad takes to reach for.
