What's your opinion on this issue?

So for those informed about the situation between Palestine and Israel, I'm sure you know the situation is pretty tense. So basically what happens was Israel placed Palestinians in internment camps kinda like how the Japanese were in America during WW2 (I'm not sure if they're being treated worse though). So basically the UN set restrictions on this (I'm not sure the correct term) and this was the first time the US didn't side with Israel they did not vote on it in the Security Council. What are your thoughts?

My personal opinion is while I don't agree with Israel doing this because I believe people should be able to be left alone if they haven't done anything. I don't believe it's the UN's place to step in. 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. But what do I know in just a 16 year old idiot. Also I'm not here to debate my opinion I just want to here differing ones.

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.

No I do know that Palestine and Israel have a deep rooted distaste for eachother I was just talking about the current issue not really the history about it but I don't have any rebuttals to what you said I do agree with you historically

@Phantasmagoria: Many years ago I used to take groups out into virgin bush/forest and as we went I would stop and look all around me. One fellow asked me what I was doing. I told him if you don't know where you came from you will never find your way out again. So it is with history. If you don't know how you got there you will never find your way out.
