In this case, mp is factually correct. The problem is that the UN,
stacked heavily by anti-semitic interests has passed numerous resolutions
that condemn Israel for various actions. Things such as detaining and
*gasp* imprisoning Palestinians who were building bombs or facilitating
those building bombs to kill Israelli civilians are roundly condemned and
various resolutions have been passed to instruct Israel to "cease and
desist" such violations of Palestinian civil rights. Numerous other
examples exist, most of which essentially tell Israel that it has no right
to protect its borders or civilians and that any actions to do so
constitute the violation of Palestinian civil rights and autonomy. The
resolutions essentially ignore the fact that those who are attacking
Israel
deny its very right to exist while condemning Israel for any slight that
inconveniences those who have devoted their lives to its destruction.


Israel has every right to protect itself, but they don't have the right to
encroach on Palestinian territories and treat the Palestinians the way they
do. Most of the resolutions against Israel have to do with human rights
abuses against the Palestinians. If Israel's objective is to protect it's
land and borders it could achieve it quite easily by building it's
separation barrier along the green line and getting out of the territories.
That would be acceptable to most members of the United Nations, as well as
to the Palestinians themselves. The problem is that Israel does not have any
interest in a separate autonomous Palestinian state. They prefer to keep the
Palestinians under their thumb while they continue to expand the
settlements.
