This shows how one sided this conflict has been...
Israel would never allow Palestinians to have a mass gathering a mile from the border, but when it's on the Israeli side people from all over the globe showed up for a music festival.
Because everyone thought no matter how terribly Israel treated Palestinians, the Palestinians couldn't do anything in response.
I guess they never heard about how dangerous a cornered animal was, they thought the Palestinians would just take all the human rights abuses in silence.
Do you know what a Pyrrhic victory is? It’s what the Hamas and their supporters are celebrating right now.
The only thing they have achieved is burning bridges of support worldwide, which will not be rebuilt
Their only other alternative is to stand by while "settlers" under the protection of armed IDF kept crossing into Palestine and kicking them off their land.
In this situation it was a Pyrrhic victory or slow annihilation.
There's no outcome where they win. So they can lay down and wait to die, or die fighting.
Put a human and those conditions and they will act like a cornered animal eventually... It's basic psychology, it's been there longer than we've been hominids. Opossums and those feinting sheep are the only mammals that don't have that instinct.
What fucking support did they have?
In terms of money maybe something like this:

Likely won’t be the last.

Did you mean "likely won't last"? Because yeah, the EU already came to their senses
