Why does there need to be this constant attempt to prove that Israel is the most evil country in the world. Every time something bad happens, there is an attempt to turn it into this smoking gun that finally proves Israel is out for genocide.

This is a bit of a straw man, as I don't think that sentiment has been the common (if it's even existed at all, though there could be an outlier or two). Israel has done evil things, but who here paints them as the most evil?
Perhaps I could alter your question and ask it from the other side:
Why does there need to be this constant attempt to demonise any thoughts critical of Israel, or anyone who presents articles highlighting some of the awful things Israel has done?
When talking about the dispute, is it not logical to talk about both sides? The evils of Hamas have been brought up repeatedly, they need to be seen, but is one not allowed to speak of the evils of Israel? There is no morally untouchable side on this dispute, so why does bringing up one bother you, but not the other?
