after ww2, israel was still technically a british territory or some stuff
so the allies were like "hey we feel bad for the jews, let's give them a country"
so the jews get israel
they get there, proceed to instigate the six-day war, where they kicked out all the palestinians, forcing them to be refugees. like millions of them. just kicked out of their homes. i'm sure people died too. but mostly just insane amounts of refugees. to this day, the gaza strip is like 2/3rds refugees.

so palestine is rightly pissed off at israel. and israel acts all innocent and persecuted.

They already have? This is a step in the right direct, Palestine is a nation, and for the UN to have not recognized it for so long is horrible. If Israel were to do something drastic, I have a feeling someone would step in, wouldn't be the U.S, but someone.

Last I heard they backpedaled on that statement after they realized the vote was probably going to be in favor of Palestine's statehood.

So basically after world war 2 a good chunk of the middle east was controlled by the UK and France. So they gave them Israel which use to be Palestine. I think before world war 2 Riddler made agreements with the Jewish Institute. Anyway the Israelis go in and kick out the Palestinians and change the name of the Country to Israel. Egypt, Syria, and Jordan didn't like the idea of jews hanging out in their sacred Holyland so they all attacked Israel in like two wars. To fight back Israel inherited a bunch of World War 2 tech from the allies and the Soviets were giving stuff to the three muslim countries.  In the end all three countries got their asses kicked.  So the Palestinians were on their on and started a rebellion/insurgency to combat their opressors and take their land.  So the Israely governments stuffs itself and gets scared and starts treating every Palestinian as an enemy and often does stuff to offend the people, like throwing wine at women.  Anyone who criticizes Israel usually has the national socialist jew hater card pulled and every jew on the east coast lobbies for funding.  Interestingly enough weapons like the Desert Eagle, UZI, and SMAW were all developed there.  Anyway to this day Israel spends everyday arming itself to fight all the Muslim countries and the Palestians from within.  Plus they have the Turks protecting their asses.

Thank god, maybe the US and Israel will ease up on screwing them over now.

In my opinion the world needs more regulation as it is. Letting countries do as they wish instead of the doctrines of the UN leads to, well, the Middle East situation. Shooting missiles into civilian areas is an atrocity, and putting countries not only under UN law but protection as well would do a world of good.
