Anyone not giving full support to Palestine following the appalling attacks that began with the Nakba, by Israelis on the Palestinian people, needs their head examining.

One could say:

 To achieve its sworn goal of obliterating hamas, Israel is willing to put the lives of all Gazans- children and adults- at risk.  It's perfectly correct to, put "that all" on Israel.

 

The difference is that Hamas is a designated terrorist group which attacks unarmed civilians far more often than military targets, while Israel is a sovereign state defending its people from attacks by terrorists who use human shields.  There's no moral equivalence between the actions of the IDF and Hamas.

many others to attack  and to  single out Israel

The "attacks" in the UN are from freedom of speech. Wouldn't you want to see that among all the nations?

Albeit, POTUS Trump's full resistance previously to a two-state solution between the Palestinians and Israel, and Netanyahu's on a one-state solution and attempts to disenfranchise Palestinians in Israel who hold Israeli citizenship has contributed to UN debates concerning Israel's behavior towards peaceful solutions.
