News reports in Israel hardly mention the provocations. They mention the attacks, and aid being sent to the Netherlands (a very odd narrative: Israelis are on their own and the Dutch don't do enough to help them).

No. I did not read it. I also did not comment about its content.

Funnily enough, 11 of the 12 members of the security council supported the draft.
Earlier on you criticized the veto power. Now you see it in action and see why it is needed (because the Security Council has no real power of its own).

So, if the text of the message was exactly the same with "Russia and China" instead of "Algeria, Russia and China", would you respond the same way, or is this just about nitpicking?

Hamas are also responsible for failing the peace negotiations. Not to mention for many terrorist attacks (rockets on random locations, suicide attacks on busses, you name it).

Once again: they attacked, and therefore must incur the cost.
The attack was originally planned before Ben-Gvir was in power. It was not desolved when Netanyahu was removed of power.

If you claim to be the sovereign ruler for a land, you are responsible for everything that comes from there.
An attack with an intended goal of destroying Israel came out of the Gaza Strip on Oct 7th. It means that they were responsible. They attacked.

In 1938 Moshe Dayan was part of the British-blessed Plugot Sadeh and later of the British-commanded Special Night Squads.
He was a low-rank commander (certainly not The commander) until 1941, when he was injured and retired temporarily until 1947.
The British were fighting the Arab Revolt from 1936 until 1939. But not really fighting Germans until 1939 (or even 1940, if you consider actual fights).

But that was not in the years of 1940-1942, "even when Britain fought to keep Germany out of the region" (as you wrote above).
Indeed roughly in 1943 the Irgun decided it was time to fight the Brits again (under the new leadership of Begin). But the Haganah (the much larger of all) did not resume that until after the war in 1945.

In Arabic it also sort-of works, but not as obvious.

For me, both actions are unacceptable. I expect people of both sides not to consider those misbehaving people as their heroes and champions. Those are the people who make things worse.
