Claims of Discrimination in the Defensive and the Offensive

I found the following political cartoon on politicalcartoons.com:

  1. Hahahaha! I think that that cartoon is very interesting, indeed!

    If you look at it, what would have been the reason for the lack of involvement of the UN and other Powers in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since the 1948 war. While doing readings for the class about Israel and Palestine, I kept on asking myself "Why didn't the UN do anything? Why did they keep on proposing resolutions, but not actually doing anything?"
    And then it crossed my mind that in 1948, it had been only 3 years after the Second World War and the Holocaust... I do not know how valid that is, I feel that it certainly has at least a grain of truth in it and that it is one of the reasons why Israel has been able to get to the stage of occupying Palestine completely.
