Since When is Israel the Good Guy?

In the dozens(?) of Israeli/Palestinian mini-wars that have occurred in my lifetime, I have never seen such pro-Israel sentiment.

All major parties in the USA and Canada (via Ezra Levant) are unequivocally supporting Israel.

A number of Palestinians are half-heartedly supporting Israel (via David Frum).

The current President of the EU supports Israel.

Yes, Jimmy Carter still has an axe to grind, but hell hasn't frozen over yet either.

This is in spite of the fact that Israel has not changed tactics or policies in any meaningful way that I can detect. And the provocation from the Palestinians was not extraordinarily bad compared to past events.

Sure, this time Israel is fighting Iranian funded Hamas alone rather than Hamas and Saudi/old-Iraq funded Fatah. But Hamas' tactics are no different from Fatah's.

Wacky.
