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.

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

I understand the conflict between Palestine and Israel pretty well but from what I was told by my APUS2 teacher that's what they were. That's why I wanted to post this so I could learn more about it

Do a little bit of research on your own. Your APUS2 teacher is full of shit if that is what they taught.

@goliathtree: I do understand they have biases because he has said he's liberal so I knew it'd be skewed a bit but I didn't know as much as people pointed out

keep looking for truth. you likely will find an extremely skewed version of it in academia

@goliathtree: I can agree with that even before I've seen contradictions with what I've read and what's I've been taught. To make matters work we use a text book from a very very far left author which I think we should be given one by more moderates even if the still do lean right or left
