The UN has come out against hostilities on both sides. I doubt that the world is cheering Hamas in anything it does, but they are not the "only democracy in the mid east.

In the same way that nobody protests against North Korea but understands that they are not acting in the best interest of their people, most of the world would expect Israel not to act like Hamas.

Everybody knew what Saddam Hussein was, but protested the USA in its run up to a wrong war that killed so many.
