Or, at least, not oppose it outright. My big reservation, in short, is that such UN intervention would likely politicallysideline the Palestinian resistance. The resistance which has the support of the majority of Palestinians living in Palestine. The resistance is why the larger world is even talking about Palestine today. The resistance is why the ethnic cleansing of Gaza has not already been completed. The resistance which is today leveraging its remaining Israeli prisoners of war for the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners being held and tortured in Israeli prisons.
