As the Israel-Palestine “war” is unfurling its most ferocious avatar, the world still stands divided. World leaders has already inked their stance on whom they root for. As the escalation is on its sixth day, the picture is crystal clear about who “condemn” whom. With death toll crossing far more than 1000 on each side, few rush to aid Israel, some others rush to aid Palestine and others urge to call quit from spilling the “innocent blood”.
The Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, Muhammed bin Salman Al Saud “stresses” the “need” to quit the “attack” on Gaza Strip. Saudi roots for “achieving a comprehensive and just peace” that “guarantees” Palestinians their “legitimate rights” in a statement.
Among his many “accusations” and “threats” against Paleatinians, Israeli President, Benjamin Netanyahu said “Hamas is ISIS-and we will crush and eliminate him as the world crushed and eliminated ISIS”.

The American President also added that the “sheer evil” act of killing the Jews was not something new for the Jewish people and the attack brought back to the surface “painful memories and scars” left by the “millennium of antisemitism and genocide” of Jewish people.
There are moments in this life where pure evil is unleashed on the world – the people of Israel experienced one this past weekend.
