Firstly, we are implicitly dealing with sovereign nations. What if the UN should examine the land claims of La Raza, to the American southwest -- a sister movement, to the PLO, which celebrated 9-11. Is your sovereignty more important than Israel's. Is Aztlan less important than Palestine. It can't be answered, impartially, particularly, when there is no firm, legal basis for your own nationalism.

So when the UN actually put sanctions on South Africa during Apartheid they were doing it because the UN was anti-white in that period?
Have you ever seen necklacing, and what actual progress it made for South Africans. I digress, but the Mandelas were savages, in all fairness.
Call me superstitious, but the frame work for the peace accord seems to have been a Mediterranean Neighborhood Policy, numbered EU Rec 666 -- first attributed to a man, who liked to pen 666-word memorandums, who would have called Jerusalem 'the furthest outpost,' (not the center of all which is important, in the world.)
It was reportedly, so barren that barely a cactus would survive, in the time of Twain.
This now-so-vital country of Israel is said to comprise less than 1% of the landmass of the entire Mid East, with surrounding countries refusing to repatriate Palestinian "refugees," offered formal, secular citizenship as Israelis.
Was that offered to black South Africans, under apartheid.
Many of the arguments are being made out of nihilism, against the status or perceived, moral authority of Jews. Or, who should want Israel?
Also, if we are to use South Africa as an example of moral equivalence, what does South Africa have to offer, disregarding a well managed business. Let's say that we're not botanists or minerologists. Their terrorists get scrubland and failing farms, to run into the ground, and the innovators get shanties.
Especially ironic, that the discussion should take place in Paris.
I mean, if I wanted to say that all people are equal, and be totally indifferent, I would take a cue, from those show trials, where the jurors are supposed to be sequestered, to prevent media bias. I might use people from some non-aligned country, where Islamist flags are meaningless as colorful postage stamps, and "With Gates Wide Open" never happened.
Instead, these people are literally crapping all over the streets, where this is supposed to be decided, turning the landmarks into rubbish heaps.

If you meant to decide these people's fates so mercifully, you wouldn't be doing it, where there were terror attacks.
