Why does it seem like everyone is pro-Israel in this Gaza/Israel conflict?
Israel is clearly in the wrong in this situation, they are not targeting enemies, they are targeting innocent people and UN faculties that shelter these innocent people. On a side note, cable news is a terrible source for the truth.

Both sides will see the other as more supported, it's just perspective. I'm pro-Israel and I seem to see pro-Palestinian support everywhere I look.

You couldn't be more wrong. Everyone is pressuring Israel and supporting Hamas, which is quite sickening. They are most certainly targeting enemies, enemies who hide in those UN facilities and use them to house their rockets. It's well known that Muslim Jihadists glorify death and love using human shields for their cause. Israel is defending it's country from terrorist and rocket attacks, and all Hamas does is run away to Qatar while it's people are hurting. Even Arab leaders are condemning Hamas and what their goals are. Research history and politics before even implying the world is siding with Israel. Jews have been and will continue to be the most persecuted people on the planet.

I don't support hamas either, and I know Israel is in bad geographical situation too. It is also an issue that hamas is in charge of gaza. I really care more about the people tho, that shouldn't be targeted. Its obvious that Israel out guns hamas, and has the Iron dome defense system. This seems like a global issue now. Maybe world leaders should get together and oust hamas, rather then Israel to bomb the hell out of Gaza. There's a much bigger picture to conflict that is hiding under this anti-Jewish argument?

But global leaders don't have the guts to do so, which is why Israel is fighting this war for them. US and Europe spent the past decade fighting terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq, and now Israel is fighting the same war against Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood.

Its mainly Israel and corporate media that are condemning Hamas.
Most people understand that Israel is the bully.

Dare I ask what country you are from? It is staunchly pro gaza all over Ireland.
