In international institutions Israel is weak. It's vastly outnumbered by Muslim countries, which is why traditionally Israel has received more criticism in the UN compared to any other country.

It's receiving criticism in the UN because of the horrible crimes it's committing

  When Israel was starving Gaza it was allowing in 3 times as much calories per person as the United Nations is supplying 400,000 Sudan refugees per person. Is the UN commiting crimes? The UN said is had food to increase what Israel was letting in, so the UN said it had resources to provide more than 3 times what it is providing Sudan refugees to 5 times the population (2 million verses 400,000).

    Israel controls all in and outflows into Gaza. The UN does not control those in Sudan. You know this and present the situation misleadingly

>It's vastly outnumbered by Muslim countries, which is why traditionally Israel has received more criticism in the UN How is this anything but DARVO? Israel receives criticism in the UN for reasons that are easily verified and quite understandable - namely its deliriously racist, brutally violent, textbook illegal, and long-lived occupation of Palestine and attempts to annex its territory. Blaming Muslim countries writ large for the UN complaining about Israel's blatant and continuous violation of the UN Charter and various other international laws is shockingly racist.

  Muslims are not a race.

    Race is an invention, people assign themselves and others to races based upon nothing but their own beliefs. It's just a way of "othering" some group of people, which certainly seems to fit the facts, regardless of whether you personally think some set of characteristics should be called a race.

  Many members of the UN are openly biased against Israel, many are officially against the very existence of Israel and have always been, and they happily vote on any condemnation of Israel regardless of what Israel does. This includes countries that have ethnically cleansed their Jews, and countries that do not allow Jews to enter.

    Isn't it difficult not to be biased against an apartheid, rogue nuclear state with a history of terrorism that is currently carrying out a genocide?

      See, that's exactly the bias. The adjectives you used are all entirely subjective and politically charged. None of these represent an objective quality. Is Israel an apartheid state? of course not; 25% of its population are Arabs who enjoy equal rights by the law (in comparison, 0% of Saudi Arabians are Jewish). Is Israel a "rogue nuclear state"? It is a nuclear state, but so are France and Britain. What makes it anymore rogue than them? Does Israel have "an history of terrorism"? You'll need to expand this one as I'm not sure what is the terrorism you mean. Is Israel "carrying out a genocide"? Well the number of people in Gaza increased during the war. Don't believe me, hear out Hamas leaders [0]. Israel is in a tough neighborhood. Never before has any country faced such a campaign of ongoing hostility and delegitimization from its neighbors and far away countries alike. Israel is doing very well though.
