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.


Israel does not have any internationally recognised sovereignity over Palestine. As such the formation of Palestine is not seperatism.

The thing that concerns countries like Russia and Spain is whether self-determination can override sovereignity  - if said sovereignity does not exist (as is the case with Israel/Palestine) then it does not cause concern for those countries.

Again International soverinty is irrelvent, considering the majority of these cases happened before such a term existed.

Look up the Nagorno-Karabakh situation for basically the exact same thing but without all the high profile involvement.
