Support for Israel is declining
As Israel’s attacks on Gaza enter their second month, public reactions continue unabated. Conflicts are expected to continue for longer because Israel places importance on international support for continued attacks and its army is unable to achieve the objectives it has set.
With the start of fighting on October 7, Israel used the first day’s images of Israeli cities surrounding the Gaza Strip for the international public and received support from the West, especially the United States.
However, when images of destruction and massacre began to emerge in the Gaza Strip, international public attention turned to the Palestinians. In this context, the capitals of America, Europe and Arab countries began to witness demonstrations of solidarity with the Palestinians.

Israeli Jews held demonstrations around the world, including in Tel Aviv, demanding an end to their attacks on Israel and a ceasefire.

Israeli TV Channel 12 reported: “A month later, we are faced with a new reality. “The images that stand out in the international media are not images of massacres in Jewish settlements, but images of death and destruction in Gaza.”
The news stated that Israel’s “self-defense story” did not fulfill its duty to provide sufficient space for the army’s activities, and emphasized that Palestinian stories and photographs influenced global public opinion.
In addition to broadcasting the scenes of death and destruction in Gaza, the United Nations and international organizations are calling for a ceasefire, in response to the blockade of medical supplies, food, fuel and electricity from entering the Gaza Strip.
Israel is not satisfied with the attitudes of these organizations, which enjoy a high reputation among the people of the world.
It was noted on Channel 12 news that Israel has so far been unable to create the breathing room it desired, and this could create difficulties in achieving the goals it has set.
The news noted that if Israel rushes to achieve its goals, the possibility of making mistakes will increase.
It was stated that this point, reached a month after the start of the conflict, was of vital importance to the continuation of the conflict, and that Israel entered this war without any plan for the future.
ISRAEL’S BLOOD LOSS TO THE INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has actively appeared on local television channels since November 4 to drum up support for the continuation of the war.

In addition to official spokespersons, the Israeli military also assigned many military officers to speak on foreign media to defend its attacks.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that dozens of Israeli journalists mobilized to spread the “Israel narrative” through social media platforms.
DEMONSTRATION AGAINST WAR FOR JEWS
