On October 27th, Palestinian medical staff held an emotional moment as they held a rescued baby in their arms, laughing and then crying. The video of this scene was shared widely on social media platforms like Weibo, reflecting the poignant reality of the situation.
On October 30th, Israel firmly rejected a ceasefire due to Hamas' desire for it. This decision was made public through various news channels including Al Arabiya TV, which reported a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's spokesman in the early hours of March 30th.
However, this decision was not supported by the United Nations as it passed a ceasefire resolution for Israel and Palestine with a majority of 120 to 14 votes. The 14 countries that voted against the resolution were the United States, Israel, Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Fiji, Guatemala, Hungary, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, and Tonga. This move was seen as a blatant disregard for humanity, with netizens expressing outrage over Israel's actions on Weibo.
In response to the crisis, many have taken to social media platforms like Weibo to voice their opinions. Some expressed anger towards Israel's inhumane treatment of Palestinian civilians and children. They have used armored vehicles to drag Palestinian fighters' corpses, leading to further inflammation among the Palestinian netizens.
There were also allegations that Israel was targeting aid convoys meant for Gaza, with people like Grover Steves delivering materials directly to the port of entry and willing to act as a human shield. This move by Steves was seen as a heroic act, with many praising his courage on Weibo.
In the midst of this chaos, the baby rescued from rubble after six hours was described as "inhumane" and "not acceptable." Netizens expressed their outrage over this situation, calling for immediate action to end the violence and provide relief to the affected Palestinians.
The situation has also drawn attention from countries around the world. Some have criticized Israel's actions while others have chosen to stand by them. This division has led to further tension and is a topic of discussion among netizens on
