The Israel/Palestine Conflict Mk. IV

What a big surprise, the US protects Israel once again in the Security Council. The US says no to unilateral moves, but wait a second, what about when Israel makes unilateral moves, like annexing large swaths of Palestinian land, or building an Apartheid barrier, 85% of which is built on Palestinian land, or imposing an illegal blockade of Gaza, and the list goes on and on ... The UN is a puppet show when a vote like 8-2 is basically a vote like 5-5!!! The 5 permanent members ought not have veto power to resolutions. Many have been scuttled in the past by the US concerning Israel, even when the votes are 14-1. What a joke to pretend that you are an honest broker in the conflict in which you protect one side, arm one side, dismiss war crimes investigations against the one side, and all the while claiming to be working for a just solution.

The Uk another lap dog of the US also voted no, this will only further fuel extreemism and hatred in the region. The Palestinians are always told to take the peaceful route but when that fails again and again what do you do.

Also another surprise it is recieving minimal to no coverage on the BBC.

Maybe if the Palestinians took the peaceful route they'd be more successful.

Maybe if eastern European colonization of Palestinian land was ended they would resort to throwing rocks at heavy armored tanks

Have the Palestinians ever tried te peaceful route?

They've been conducting indiscriminate rocket attacks against Israel since 2001. They shifted to rocket attacks because the ten plus years of suicide attacks against Israeli civilians hadn't worked.

So that the last thirty to forty year of Palestinian violence accounted for.

One if the main problems is that the Palestinian leadership need a back drop of violence to gain support. Without the back drop of violence theres to much risk of Palestinians asking why their politicians are useless

Everything has a reason, things like this make them resort to violence.

Mate, its a losing battle supporting Israel, just compare death tolls they use jets and warships on the palestinians, the Palestinians use home-made rockets. The main reason this bid was put forward was due to Israeli settlements displacing the Palestinians from their own land.

I support neither side as the Palestinian conflict doesn't impact on me.

The Palestinians are firing some homemade rockets, but with Iranian support.

Israel gets a lot of aid from the US. But it doesn't detract from the fact that Israel is surrounded by historically hostile neighbours.

I don't know if you seem to think the rise is turning against Israel, but it may have missed you by that Arab nations in general seem to be collapsing in on themselves.

Isn't it ironic that the USA stole the Native Americans homeland and now they are supporting Israel doing the same to the Palestinians

Tbh I dont blame Arab nations they have been invaded multiple times, after each time a dictator was installed, or the country collapsed into civil war, take Iraq for instance.
