Israel turned the “defend itself” knob way past 10 almost immediately. We all expected retaliation, but Israel went too far very, very quickly. I don’t think it took 6 months to switch, it was a matter of weeks for anyone of reason to see what was happening. Governments on the other hand took a lot longer to change their wording on dealing with Israel and Netanyahu (edit:) though they’ve changed very little actual policy.
Governments are taking a lot longer, or rather some haven’t changed effective policy at all, looking at Germany, USA, and UK among others.
Of course the exact time of the mood switch is not really relevant, but I did have discussions on here with people trying to rules lawyer the ICJ judgement 3 months ago. Funnily enough their account has gone silent since.
