Sparks of war are once again in Gaza Strip.
it starts with Israel targeting Hamas' military chief(successfully)
then Palestine responds in kind - by launching missiles(killing 3 people - less than 'precise' strike by Israel - they launched hundreds of rockets)
then Israel mobilizes military reserves and gets ready for fight.

Now let me ask this - Why most countries are supporting Israel, despite the fact that this time they fired the first shots and provoked this?(for example US said to give support to Israel)

mind you - I'm not saying that Palestine are good guys in here - I'm saying that this time they aren't the most evil ones. I'm fascinated by military tech, weapons and special forces operations but imho war=hell on earth(and shitload of wasted lives, resources and it's generating more loses than gains).

but take into the account feelings of Palestine's people - Israel was 'recreated' not so long ago

the British were formally awarded the mandate to govern the region in 1922. The non-Jewish Palestinians revolted in 1920, 1929 and 1936. In 1947, following World War II and the Holocaust, the British Government announced their desire to terminate the Mandate, and the United Nations General Assembly voted to partition the territory into a Jewish state and an Arab state.

I was always very skeptical and always had my doubts when it came to Arabian people(even before 9/11 and terrorist attacks) - but this time land was taken from them and was used to create the country of Israel - and now they are being repressed by Israelites. It would be ironical for it to turn into mass extermination...

What are most countries? If you ask Arab countries, I'm sure they would be more likely to support Palestinians, at least on a spiritual level if not on a realpolitik level (since nobody hates an Arab as much as another Arab, even if they all hate Israelis as well). Even the politicians of great many Western countries voice support for Palestinians. The countries themselves might obey the laws of realpolitik enough to continue relations and trade with Israel, though, because let's face it: There's absolutely no profit in officially supporting Palestine against Israel. Israel knows this as well, which is why they are acting so cool all the time, caring little what individual politicians utter here and there, and they continue to do whatever they want.
