You should care. The people are not the leadership.

Apparently the people don't care enough to stop their soldiers from burning kids alive. Why should I care what happens to them?

That's pretty reductive. How much power do you think the Israeli people have?

I'm American. I know my country is funding this genocide. All I have is my vote, which has very little impact. I care a lot, but other than my vote I'm powerless to stop my government from arming Israel.

The Israeli citizens are similarly powerless.

No. Governments exist by the consent of the governed.

And the Israeli people recently protested in favor of torturing Palestinians. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2q07kd3ld6o

Aaron Bushnell said he wasn't going to let the U.S. do a genocide in his name.

Majority of Americans support a ceasefire. Majority of Israelis support what the IDF is doing. There's a big difference.
