This is how Korean netizens are reacting after Israel declared a 'state of war' against Hamas

Korean netizens reacted to Israel declaring a 'state of war' against Hamas. 

On October 7th, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called up thousands of reservist soldiers and declared the country "at war" following an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas. Following the Prime Minister's announcement, news broke out all over the world and Korea was not an exception. 

Korean netizens shared their thoughts following the news of the declaration of war: 

"Their history is too complicated so it's really hard for us to take sides..."

"Poor civilians..."

"I'm afraid there might be a third world war."

"Hamas is related to North Korea. There's no need to side with Israel but Hamas certainly do not deserve understanding."

"This is all because of the British Balfour declaration smh They really are causing all the problems."

"The whole world is siding with Israel but then this time it's true Palestine started."

"Well, our government has to side with Israel. I don't mind y'all personally reprimanding but it's obvious we shouldn't support Palestine officially. Israel is one of our strongest allies."

"Reminds me of this quote 'Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich.'"

"I'm worried that our dumb government would mess something up. Hope he stays quiet."

"I'm getting more and more concerned about how so many countries are inciting wars."

Meanwhile, Israel extended a "special security situation" across its entire territory as of writing.
