You scratch my back I scratch yours...doesn't work always

Rather should not be used always. On one of those days when I have waited for something, I have tried to understand the Palestine and Israel crisis. I came across this article and other past judgements of ICJ pertaining to the region. I am sure the documentary and other evidence presented warranted such measures. I of course, am nobody so I cannot have access to such information. But the fact that judges have given a verdict in the past, in favor of Palestine, itself proves that something wrong was happening. I am too self obsessed to be aware of all issues in the region. However, with whatever little knowledge I have gleaned, I am sure I would have felt the same way as the Palestinians when Israel defied the ICJ, and the rest of the world, including I, went on with our business, turning a blind eye. That is so much like what happened in Nazi concentration camps. Many knew, and yet, when Hitler had his Olympics there, most of the countries participated. Why this happens? Most of the tax payers in the world are Jews...so nobody is gonna risk getting less taxes. Or maybe, they took help from Israel, and have excellent trade relationship, or have something to gain. First and foremost taking help from other nations is wrong. Yeah, that is a remark at our Prime Minister, who keeps on climbing aircrafts running to this country and that country. It shuts our mouth when we have to stand up for right. Palestine's today position, could be ours tomorrow. Standing up for right is important I feel. Now the international hasty solutions that need revisiting.......... Post WWII, Jews got the promised land as the world wanted to relieve its conscience. Yeah, it was that. Many knew what was happening, and did not take a stand against it, just as we watch the atrocities in Ukraine, and Gaza strip. So it became imperative to do something about it. They had to, to hold the holier than thou label when compared to the Germans. Otherwise, the atrocities committed by the Brits were no less, whether in India, or in South Africa and other colonies, including Ireland, and Scotland, across the years. Nor should Americans forget the native Indians or Indians forget the Buddhists who left the country. There is no fire without fuel. Something wrong prompts actions. The mind gets stunned when no support is forthcoming against the wrong. You bet, I could have been one of those Palestinian terrorists, given the defiance of ICJ verdict...why was it reduced to being just a paper, is what my mind asks. And a hasty solution came up, completely ignoring the ramifications. When a country wins over another, it acquires rights to govern, but does it acquire the rights to properties of private citizens? I believe not. Any government, when it takes over lands of private citizen for public purposes, compensates. That was missing with the western Jewish solution, resulting in today's mess in the region. While all this is on, I of course feel bad for everybody who has lost their kith and kin on both sides, the helpless animals who had no say in the matter, and for myself too, because wars do cause change in climates, and increase pollution. All because some men were short sighted, and continue to be so.
