      I don’t see how a war of self defense against invading colonizers is the same as what America is doing in Iran.

        White supremacists claim refugees are colonizing majority white countries all the time. You’re no different from them.

              refugees live along the local people in the same state. They do not force a state on the local people by ethenically cleansing them from the land

                The UN decided on the partition, the Arab League went to war against the refugees to remove them.

                Anyway that was a long time ago, what matters is the children of those refugees were born in that land. Do you also not agree with birthright citizenship?

                  The Un gave a proposition it was not binding. Israel ethnically cleansed Palestinians to build the state. Yes the past is the past but today Israel is colonizing the west bank which everybody expect Israel acknowledge it as Palestinian . Those synagogues was hosting events where Americans can buy Palestinians land where the Palestinians living there was either expulsed illegally or killed. The UN still consider Gaza occupied and the west bank colonizer

                    You’re conveniently ignoring the fact that the Arab League ethnically cleansed Jews from their territory. Creating even more refugees that had nowhere else to go other than Israel.

                    The UN has made themselves largely irrelevant in all of this. And for shame, it would’ve been very useful to have the UN in the role of mediator and potentially be able to provide peacekeepers as they did in the past. But they’ve taken sides against a country for political reasons. They chose politics over diplomacy and failed at their primary mission.
