You seem to have concluded that nobody is bothered by the current offensive -- which their Prime Minister called "an all-out war" today -- because nobody posted about it. The attacks have been condemned by the UN and many individual governments, including the U.S. I suspect many agree with me that Israel has overreacted.

That's not really the same as the attacks have been condemned by the UN and many individual governments, including the U.S.

There have been a number of middle eastern governments condemning it, but the UN and the U.S. have been careful not to. In fact, the U.S. stated that the blame for the fighting lies with Hamas.

Personally, I think Hamas blew it. They expected eventual Israeli retaliation, but not at this level.
