Israel was established on the basis of a legal resolution of the United Nations General Assembly in 1947. The major powers relied on logic of force and not the logic of right and law to establish the occupying state.
Israel considers compromising the foundations of this support a strategic threat, and is mobilizing its various diplomatic, media, security, and economic capabilities to confront it. The foundations of international support for the occupation are represented in its functional role as an advanced military, political and economic base for the United States and other major countries.
