Clearly, Abbas is unclear on the concept of FAFO:
Abbas called on the UN to immediately intervene
During a telephone call tonight with the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, President Mahmoud Abbas called on the UN to immediately intervene to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip, which is currently under Israeli threats of cutting off its humanitarian needs such as electricity, water, and food; which are rights guaranteed by international law and legitimacy.
President Abbas stressed the importance of delivering relief and medical aid to our people in the Gaza Strip, stressing the need for the United Nations to intervene to prevent a humanitarian disaster in the Strip.
He urged the UN to carry out its duties recognized by international legitimacy and provide international protection for the Palestinian people.
The President reiterated that the only solution to all the escalation taking place in the region is the political solution of ending the Israeli occupation of the land of the State of Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital.
For his part, Guterres stressed that the United Nations is making efforts to provide urgent humanitarian relief aid to people in the Gaza Strip.
He said that the UN is conducting contact with all concerned international parties in order to stop the ongoing escalation.

In any population, there are the good, the bad, and the ugly. Proportions may vary. Still, the sad thing is when the innocents are killed - children and those with peace of heart. The seeds of the brutality and retribution are once more being sown. It's one of those times when one wonders if humanity has a path forward that moves away from madness. I think of those who survived WWII - who must have felt this sickness even more closely. Perhaps we should hope that the next species to rule the earth will find a less contentious way forward.

Hasn't worked in the last 4 billions years. I see no reason why that should change.
Also, when it comes to "innocents," there's a lot of hair-pulling about all the innocents in Gaza. No doubt, there are innocents suffering there, but, they, until now, at least, whole heartedly supported Hamas.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Oh, they still wholeheartedly support them and that support will get even deeper the more the Israeli reacts. The bad guy in their minds is not Hamas for attacking, the bad guy is Israel for not willingly walking into the ocean.

And that, ultimately, is the biggest difference when weighing the morality of both sides.

Does a Palestinian born in Gaza have a meaningful choice of tribe?

Homogenizing a people does make it easier to do what the Hamas terrorists did - or what Israel with do to the Palestinians or what the Saudi terrorists did on 9/11 - though our nation seemed to have no problem seeing its way to isolating the Saudi terrorists from the rest of that country.

And right now we are in the fog of things. It has been said and seems credible if not yet verifiable, that more than Hamas fighters are involved.

50% of the residents are children. Hamas was voted in in 18 years ago this coming January.
It’s always something.

So murderous conflict is cemented for another generation. And the existence of Israel is on a timer that ends when nukes are available to terrorists.
