I'm pretty surprised by this. Israel has a lot of wealthy allies and an already robust military propped up by defense manufacturing and compulsory military service. This is going to lead to even more Palestinian casualties than were already happening... every Arab in or near the West Bank is at risk of being executed right now. I'm really curious why Hamas decided to do this given how the global north has been giving Palestine the cold shoulder and actively arming Israel for decades.

I live in Canada and I know that we are already giving military aid to Israel - we are probably going to increase that after this, and I'm sure that the USA and UK will do the same. There are already mainstream organizations that refuse to acknowledge Palestine whatsoever, so I'm really concerned about the possibility of the apartheid turning into a genocide and no one really caring because "they deserved it," especially given the aggressive anti-Palestinian propaganda in right-wing Israeli institutions and social circles.
