What's your opinion on this issue? So for those informed about the situation between Palestine...

That's a pretty warped narrative. I'd suggest revisiting the topic with sources that are more history and less propaganda.

Now I am biased as I don't believe in the UN and I am very much against a world police and Globalism and feel if Israel should be able to do what they want and if a certain country wants to call them out they should not the UN.

It is an interesting point but there are two issues I want to raise on that:

1) The USA is a world policeman anyway. This is especially true of the Israel/Palestine situation where America gives the country huge overseas aid and sells it weapons. Obama's apparent move against Israel was minor, symbolic and only re-iterated existing international agreements.

2) I don't like the idea of a world policeman but then the UN is really more of an agreement body. Countries try and get together to establish mutual understandings that benefit everyone. This consensus idea is a good thing in theory and when countries go against the UN, it is usually for the wrong reasons; the Iraq War being a prime example.

Well your sense of history is off just a bit. After WWII the UN established the nation of Israel. When Israel declared itself to be a nation the Palestinians attacked and were defeated. Then in 1967 Israel was attacked again and again Israel prevailed. Then in 1973 Israel was again attacked and again it prevailed. Having watched the wars of 67 and 73 and all the peace efforts I don't have much support for the Palestinians.

When people are being thrown into internment camps it's always a subject to take seriously. I don't know the details of this particular event, so I can't say much. Most likely though, Israel needs to cool off from the internment camp thing. I know there are problems over there, but they shouldn't forget that their nation was founded as a direct result of similar behaviors that turned out to be one of the worst human crises ever. Not saying that's what they're doing, but it might be time to do some soul searching.

I think if the plo throws rocks and attacks Israel, we shouldn't interfere with the Israeli response. How they handle terrorists is their affair.

Keep in mind, the Palestine was stolen from the Palestinians by the European Jews in 1948, because "God" told them it was theirs and America supported that. Israel has no right to exist whatsoever, and in 68 years they haven't been able to get along with their neighbors.

BTW did you know that the South African apartheid system was based on the Canadian model of reserves for natives? The US has a similar system.

i dont think you can compare the interment camps because american citizens were placed there soley because of their ethnicity as opposed to another country invading or "restoring" their "holy land"....middle eastern and eastern European conflicts are the most complicated headaches to understand for me

your politican opinions are every bit as well informed as I'd expect from a 16 year old boy who doesn't read newspapers and isn't even able to vote. well done!

read a bit more history. Your comparison is far from accurate.

Gee whiz what a can of worms. Until an exact replace second Jerusalem appears and no one can tell which is which and each side happily has one this will never end.
