A group of piglins become enraged at player after getting hit by a ghast fireball

As I was trading with a group of 5 piglins they became enraged at me after getting hit by a ghast fireball. I did not hurt them and had a full set of gold armor with full durability. After the fireball hit, I was on fire with the piglins surrounding me. It was very unfair. I was playing a hardcore world and had been playing it safe for the 50 hours of time it took to get where I was. please fix this so it doesn't ruin any other person's world and day.
