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.

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.

I'm just leaving posts all over the place here... <_>
But Nagorno-Karabakh is different because the Armenia-Azerbaijan border was intended to be like the North Carolina/Tennessee border; they're all Soviets.
Just one of those things, like Abkhazia and South Ossetia, that nobody really thought through before the Soviet Union collapsed.

I'm not seeing what there actually makes it different. Other then the claim that Amrenian's and Azerbaijan is the same simply because they both used to be in the Soviet Union.
Which is ridiculious.
They're actually more ethnically diverse then Jews and Muslims and also dividided by religion.
It's as similar to any situation as your likely to get in the world.
