how can the u.n. be anti israel, when it was the u.n. that gave the freakin land to them?
this isn't rocket science, just four simple words.
nothing remains the same. the u.n. of 1947 has little in common with the u.n. of today. just because it is an international body does not mean it is immune to the pettiness of the political squabbling of its member states. the failure of british colonialism and a post ww2 fervor to punish the allies of the axis powers created the israeli state, not the altruism of the u.n. the u.n.'s mission then was to find the equitable solutions to the problems of the world. their mission now has become the elimination of strife by the most expedient possible means. if the destruction of israel brings peace to that area, then they are more than willing to support that destruction.
all of your
facts seem to ignore the state of war, both open and undeclared, that israel has existed under since its very inception. how can you even ask how the blockade of palestine can be considered legal, when such strategies are commonplace in nations at war? it is a common way to attempt to strangle the free flow of arms to an enemy and is far more justifiable and peaceable than wantonly tearing through the countryside in search of a foe that so regularly hides behind its children and its women's skirts between rounds of indiscriminately lobbing rockets across the border. the occupation of palestine may not be the most humane possible treatment of its inhabitants, but it is far better than turning the entire area into a slag heap in order to root out israel's foes and far more rational than allowing its enemies a free hand to terrorize the jewish homeland.
the propaganda machines on both sides of this conflict have been constantly working overtime. the images of weeping palestinian mothers lay side by side with those of burned out israeli school buses. the successes of israel, despite the aggressions of its neighbors, have allowed the international community to portray it as an advanced nation taking advantage of the downtrodden palestine. the industrious nature of their society has allowed them to build a formidable military that is capable of making any enemy pay dearly for their aggressions, but those enemies seem not to care that the force they assault is quite capable of annihilating them and their families and their neighborhoods. the innocents that are caught up in the fray are a part of the atrocity that is war, but their numbers on either side are not the point. you may point to the innocent palestinian casualties and how they far outnumber those on the israeli side, but this fact alone doesn't really lead to the laying of any blame.
the blame lies in the racial hatred of a people that have remained insular despite being widespread. the blame lies with an intolerance and overweening pride that has existed for centuries. there is blame to be found in the overzealous elements that are a part of any military structure and there is equal blame to be found in the indiscriminate nature of blind rocket assaults on nonmilitary targets. blame can be laid at the feet of an international media that seeks to inflame the situation with half-truths and outright lies. i could spend all day listing people and organizations that share the onus for this tragedy, but that really doesn't matter. you have chosen to believe the propaganda that fits with your world view. you have chosen to believe that the combatant with the upper hand must be the aggressor. you have chosen to believe that victory only comes through savagery and that, despite third party reports, these israeli savages won't even allow the innocents of palestine humanitarian aid. your blind belief isn't all that amazing, but it is rather sad.
