Populations tend to unite when confronted with an immediate hostile threat. George Bush's popularity shot from 50% to 90% overnight after 9/11. There's always a sense that "we need to solve this before we get back to our infighting". I mean, that's an argument for why Hamas attacked in the first place (and tends to attack periodically): to keep the Palestinian population united behind them, if only out of fear of Israel.
I doubt the commenter meant it as an antisemitic attack.
