Israel as a Geograpic Nation was a knee-jerk reaction to the Concentration Camps of WWII. Instigated by the Jewish/US lobby under the "League of Nations" (a forerunner to the UN) the region was a UK protectorate at the time, but the US assumed Political control due to their dominant efforts in WWII.
So the most important Islamic territory (especially Jerusalem) was taken over, and the locals (of almost 2000 years standing) were evicted. Then a population with an advanced European education, STRONG religious culture and ingrained history of persecution was injected into the region. It was yet another League of Nations disaster waiting to happen... Please Google causes of WWII, Wilson's 14 points etc,.
Most of us have the good fortune to be watching this all on TV; our friends and families are not being destroyed for no assured outcome. If you are effected, you have my very deepest sympathy.
Politics is difficult, and religious beliefs make life even more complex. IF the UN has any useful purpose (which I doubt) they should work to resolve these issues and bring understanding and mutual respect to the situation. But I fear that they are a "Paper Tiger" as Mao Zedong might have said in this situation.
