87% Muslim country.

It's very obvious who's side each country is on simply based on their religious demographics. Muslim countries tend to support Palestinians (who are mostly Muslim) and Christians/Non-theists countries tend to support Israel.

Even within some western nations (UK for example) a large portion of the Palestinian marchers are Muslim.

The war exists because of Iran vs Israel, and is inherently a religious war. People need to STFU up about peace, it's not going to happen. Iran has no intention of backing off giving the Palestinians weapons even if Israel were to stop attacking. Hamas would just build back up, and attack again and again. Even if there was an agreement to setup separate countries, it wouldn't help. Israel is having to attack into Lebanon right now for the same reason, they're getting attacked by Hezbollah which surprise surprise is funded by... Iran.
