Eh, it's less "Fair Share" more "The US supports Israel."
If the US didn't support Israel... like say this exact situation happened elsewhere, practically no country would support Palestine because they would see it as a legitamization of "seperatists". It's the same reason countries like... Spain don't recognize Kosovo.
Most of the world supports Palsestine because the United States supports Israel, there is in general a large alliance of countries that vote the opposite of the US on every measure from Israel to global kitten appreciation day.
Now Europe. Europe's backing off of Israel is actually a pretty interesting long term political development that began with a strange marriage of the Europeon Leftwing and Muslim Immigrants. The Leftwing pretty much ignoring some of the more problematic issues from the immigration such as woman's rights for the voter support.

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.

According to the Basque seperatists there may not be a difference but in the eyes of other states there is. The difference that is apparent to those states is important.

Except.... it isn't. People find excuses all the time to allow or disallow these things. The "difference" you are talking about is just another excuse that holds no real meaning. They would pull their support the moment it became apparent it might pass.
