On Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), users are actively engaging in discussions, with sentiments ranging from outrage to skepticism over the motives behind two of the world's wealthiest nations leading a coalition against one of the poorest. Calls for accountability resonate as users share open-source information highlighting the disparity in military capabilities between Israel and Palestine.
Numerous open sources, including international commentators and organizations, contribute to the growing global condemnation.
