As anyone with half a brain knows, if you fuck people over you get what's called "blowback", something Israel has been dealing with and continues to deal with because of the myriad human rights abuses against the "may as well be called a prison" Palestinian state.UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. General Assembly called for an end to Israeli military operations in the
Gaza Strip on Friday, overwhelmingly passing a resolution in an emergency special session the Israeli ambassador blasted as a "farce" and a "circus."
If even 1/100 of the amount of Israeli's were killed by Palestinians you can be damn sure the US would be invading within a week, but since it's the other way round it doesn't matter and they don't.
This is yet another call to end what is by any human rights organisation you care to mention terms an illegal and ongoing human rights crisis that is simply unacceptable to allow to continue to happen (yes much like Sudan, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, etc etc) by any single educated westerner with anything approaching a soul.
The thing is, obviously radical extremists don't wish to even acknowledge Israel as a legitimate place (not surprising given how emotional Arabs are about Jerusalem - much like christians and jews are) and therefore it's seen as "protection of the Israeli state" to allow Israel to continue carrying out barbaric intifada's, massacres and general illegal acts of oppression against roughly half a million Palestinians.
Hence Palestinian suicide bombers try and retaliate, causing Israel to then go and act (as they should) but - hysterically and excessively - in an effort to crush them, fails and ends up creating more anti-Israeli sentiment in the occupied territories (giving support to people like Hezbollah in the process).
Ultimately, the whole Israeli landmass is just a clusterfuck of pointless religious bullshit and would be better off not existing in the first place regardless of whether it was owned by Jews, Muslims or Christians:
However since that's not a viable option surely it's pretty fucking obvious to anyone with half a brain that constantly escalating the violence and oppression (a constant Israeli tactic) is retarded.
And should stop.
Go the UN for finally getting Europe to support this latest withdrawal call, long overdue of course, and pretty meaningless but at least there is some conscience still floating around the halls of power.
The only way that whole Israel Palestine crap is going to stop is by Israel making the first move and not fucking over Palestinians to such a ridiculous extent. Only then will any progress be made.
