The myth of Jews as colonizers is debunked as there has been a continuous Jewish presence in the land of Israel for thousands of years, and Jews were indigenous to various regions before being driven out by Muslims. Israel, like many other states including Pakistan, was created by outside powers, drawing lines on maps after World War II. Despite this, Israel is constantly challenged and sanctioned by the UN, even though it has not behaved as badly as other countries such as North Korea, Sudan, Egypt, Somalia, Syria, and Iran. The United Nations is criticized for its moral bankruptcy, and there are reports of corruption and incitement to hate and martyrdom in UN-funded schools for Palestinian refugees.
