It's a different case with Palestine actually. They aren't seperatists so much as an occupied people - no state claims that Palestine is a sovereign part of Israel. As such countries that are afraid of the idea of seperatism such as China, Russia or Spain can feel much more comfortable about a Palestinian state. |
Ask the Basque seperatists if there is a difference. They will say no.
There really isn't any difference at all. In general Palesetine support is mostly just based around the same NAM stuff as usual, which is, be against stuff the US is for and will Veto anyway, because why not.
It's similar to why Julian Assange is sitting in an Ecuadorian embassy right now even though if he did the same thing in equador he'd of been shot long ago. (Well except that's to thumb it's nose at the British, not US.)
The only people who really remotely care are those adjacent to the issue because of all the refugee camps.
Where the countries actually tend to treat the refugees worse then the Israeli's treat Gaza.
