I think you underestimate the Jews, just as muslims are now present all over the Western world now so are Jews. But the Jews have one advantage: they re more integrated into the society of many Western nations because they have been their for ages and ages and have a very strong impact everywhere in the Western world from Russia to America. Not to forget the strong trade relations Israel has, nothing will change: it will be exactly like the previous Israeli actions, they will act and the world will swallow it wether they like it or not. The least thing the Israeli could do now is do something significant this time, so they don't have to bomb the palestinians regularly for every rocket they were able to fire.
The point is that Hamas is already a pariah in most of the western world and in most of the Arab world, which is why while Arabs who have been raised on anti Jewish and anti Israeli propaganda for generations scream outrage in streets at the current operation, their governments issue only tepid condemnations of the action. When Ariel Sharon led the reoccupation of the West Bank Arab governments screamed just as loudly as the people in the streets, but now when a highly respected Saudi cleric issued a fatwa calling on Muslims to attack Israel, the Saudi government arrested him. The truth is that regardless of what their diplomats say at the UN, most western and Arab governments would like to see Israeli destroy Hamas even if it produces a large number of civilian casualties.
