Many countries and their leaders don't see the Oct 7 massacre in Israel as a horror.
They see it an event that did not happen in a vacuum, precipitated by Israel's oppression of the Palestinians.
Therefore, justifiable and justified and not condemnable.
Never mind that more than a thousand and two hundred or so of Israelis - men, women, young and old and children, even babies, had been killed; the women raped and mutilated, babies burnt and some victims' heads chopped off or beheaded in a blatant slaughter with glee!
And a hundred and more Israelis taken as hostages - men, women, young and old, and children too.
Those countries and their leaders surely must have also inticipated that Israel would respond strongly following the invasion and massacre by Hamas?
In a war, there will be collateral damage, innocent civilians caught in the fire. A sad, sad, sad and tragic consequence no one wants that to happen though.
Still they stand strongly by Hamas, designated by the US and the west as a terrorist organisation.
They see Hamas as the hero of the Palestinian people, one though, who cowardly chose to hide in tunnels underneath or adjacent to vulnerable places like hospitals, places of worship, schools and even refugee centers instead of bravely confronting their Israeli enemy.
Hoping to escape unscathed themselves, knowing well that innocent Palestinians would be the victims, hoping to exploit and inflate their numbers to garner sympathy and support for themselves.
The fact of which numbers, the UN itself has now acknowledged has been inflated.
It is one thing to call for a solution to the Palestinian issue.
To blindly stand by Hamas for what it did in the Oct 7 massacre, justifying it instead as Israel's just dessert, what does it all say?
It is a sad, sad and tragic indictment that the world has become so divided by race and faith/beliefs, and what have you, that people have stopped thinking altogether.
Only raw emotions count and rule the day!
How to have peace in a world so wrecked?
