    In practice it may be so, but that doesn't invalidate that people are against their actions. Russia also took Crimea, and virtually no one recognizes it. Can't expect Israel to do the same and have the UN (and other countries in general) clapping their hands in agreement.

    Approval/disapproval of military actions is only based on if it helps or hinders one's own interests.

    So we should ignore international law? Nice, I hope you never get in any position of authority.

    International law is ignored more often than not. It would better to call it "wished for international niceties or excuses to punish the defeated".

    It's like the UN wants to lower their public perception over all demographics.

    Not by most democracies it isn't. But then again, looking at your signature, such posts were to be expected.

    Perhaps by weak "democracies", but not the strong ones that know nothing can be done to them.

    No one is taking U.N. seriously for a long time. Most of those committees are a bunch of pathetic clowns.
