Which is still less than 15% of the world population and its current wealth and prosperity came after centuries of imperialism and colonialism. It is only natural they will oppose an indigenous resistance movement. The US and Israel considered Nelson Mandela a terrorist and supported apartheid in South Africa, not a good track record.

The enemies of the west aren’t necessarily our enemies. To paraphrase Nelson Mandela here: https://youtube.com/shorts/g7_W7vZXkLg

The West and the US specially has a history of getting it wrong: “The U.S. Government Had Nelson Mandela on Terrorist Watch Lists Until 2008. Here’s Why” https://time.com/5338569/nelson-mandela-terror-list/

Terrorist are enemies of everyone. Gaza would be in MUCH better situation if it were not for Hamas.

That’s the thing, most of the world sees Hamas as a legitimate resistance movement. Only a fringe group of colonialist and imperialist nations see them as terrorists but that’s expected.
