I love that the first instinct is that some country has to be attacked now. Then someone says that they will probably attack some wrong country. Prophetic.

Also somehow end up blaming Palestine and praise Israel out of nowhere

Anyone can invoke anything as a rationale for doing something. That doesn't automatically make it true, and it certainly doesn't make any parties they reference automatically culpable. There could be any number of reasons for citing an unrelated party, like to try deflect blame to a scapegoat or to try to motivate others to join one's cause. I don't think it's particularly controversial to suggest that there could be other motives for his statement than just wanting to clarify any confusion people might have.
I am providing additional context to the comment I replied to above. The comment points out that in the hours after the event there was discussion on the fark forum regarding Palestine. I'm merely stating a fact. No need for downvotes.
Yah, that was my reaction that morning, that the US would bomb the crap out of some random country. (In between trying to figure out what was happing to the inlaws, who were flying in from Ireland at the time)
