The anti Israel views carefully avoid the facts, particularly that modern day Israel was brought into being by the United Nations, and on day one was immediately attacked by six combined Arab nations’ armies whose sole intention was to wipe Israel out – a policy since publicly supported and officially adopted by Hamas.

They failed.

Since 1948 then, the roughly 8,300 square miles of Israel, (about the same size as Wales) with about eight million people of whom 20% are Arabs, have been under constant attack or threat of attack by many of the surrounding 370 million Arabs living in over five million square miles of lands.

In 1967 they failed again, and Jordan (not The Palestinians) lost the West Bank.

As one online comment hinted, of 25 UN resolutions passed in 2013, 21 condemned Israel, and just one each condemned Syria, North Korea, Iran and Myanmar.

That says a lot more about the pathetic bigotry of the United Nations than about Israel, when, apart from their hatred of Israel, half the Islamic Arab world seems devoted to wiping out the other half, and massive but seemingly unnoticed atrocities over much of the rest of the world are ignored by the UN?

Meanwhile, in spite of having to defend itself against thousands of incoming rockets from Gaza and Lebanon, Israel continues to develop and pass on to the world masses of improvements in medical treatments and IT technology, as well as ingenious inventions such as equipment for producing drinking water out of thin air.

And still the local anti Zionists parade and demonstrate, but never, ever against any other regimes, Middle Eastern or otherwise.

Do I sense a little bit of bias in their views?
