When Hamas-led Palestinian fighters launched their deadly assault in Israel on October 7, many foreign governments rushed to support Israel, of course there is no bigger supporter of Israel than the United States, who immediately declared Israel has a right to self-defense
What people don't notice (or tell) about the current Yisra'el situation is why there is much more support for the Palestinian side than ever. Palestine terrorist long tried to gain attention for their case by violence. Did that work? To release some wrath – yes. To further their case in a positive way – no. The current success can solely be attributed to the civil, peaceful pro-Palestinian movement(s) of Palestinians, Hebrews and their friends (like us) all over the world. This is a good example for the power of diplomatic means, that the war lovers of the world are terribly afraid of and that they don't want us to be aware of.
Agree with Cyrus. There's a slight difference in perspective. As the UN Secretary-General pointed out, the Hamas attacks didn't happen out of thin air. He reminds people to consider whether Hamas' attacks are entirely unjust, because people tend to have a preconceived notion that Hamas' attacks are unjust and illegal, making Israel's retaliation justified. The main leaders of Western countries also emphasize Israel's right to self-defense, seemingly neglecting Hamas' rights. In fact, Hamas also has the right to attack Israel because Israel has illegally occupied Palestinian land for decades and has committed many atrocious acts against the Palestinian people. It's impossible to determine who hurt the other side first between Israel and Palestine. Instead, Israel is undeniably occupying Palestinian land and suppressing any resistance from the Palestinian people. From this perspective, we cannot ignore Hamas' right to retaliate against Israel. Of course, what Hamas is doing wrong is indiscriminately firing rockets and indiscriminately killing Israelis. If Hamas wants to gain international recognition, it should only target the Israeli Defense Forces and refrain from retaliating against Israeli civilians. Israel should do the same and not retaliate against Palestinian civilians too.
Well said Cyrus.

Hamas had no choice Israel is bent on stealing every last inch of Palestine then on to Syria, and Lebanon
