    The UN is NOT large world governments. It’s an international body with no authority to enforce anything. The US, UK, Canada, Most of Western Europe and others are all still supporting Israel.

    You might have forgotten that Israel got attacked by 5 Arab countries simultaneously the day after they declared Independence in 1948. The Arabs were pissed when the UN tried to make it a two state zone, and immediately started attacking Israel from inside and outside.

    No shit it installed a system of apartheid after that. You talk about pressuring a group and not expecting violence. This didn’t START with Israel. The Jewish people have been oppressed in that region for literally a couple thousand years. The ottomans literally had a second set of laws for them that made them second class citizens, and there were multiple massacres/attacks under their rule.

    You seem to only focus on what’s happened recently, ignoring entirely how we got here in the first place.

    You’re also justifying the killing of Israeli civilians by Palestinians as “they were given no other option.” I’m 100% sure there were options other than mass murder to protest their mistreatment. There’s a definition for what Hamas did, it’s called Terrorism.
