> Many members of the UN are openly biased against Israel, many are officially against the very existence of Israel and have always been, and they happily vote on any condemnation of Israel regardless of what Israel does.

"regardless of what Israel does" they haven't tried ending the occupation yet; do you really think they would be condemned for doing so?

> and countries that do not allow Jews to enter.

Which countries are these exactly?

In 2005 Israel end the occupation in Gaza by evacuating all Jews from the strip and leaving it in Palestinian Authority control.

Next came Hamas, then the rockets, then the incursions and finally October 7th.

    This is misinformation. Although Israel did pull its settlers from most of Gaza in 2005, it retained air, sea, and land border control. That is still a military occupation. The reality is, Israel never ended the occupation in Gaza.

      No, the misinformation is yours. Israel pulled out Jews from all of Gaza, going back to the pre-1967 line. Gaza shared a land border with Egypt (Rafah crossing) which Israel did not - and could not - control.

      While Israel retained air and sea passage control, the blockade as we know it only came after Hamas was elected as the Gaza government and not before.

      (this is the opportunity to note that after the Israeli pullout from Gaza, Gazans could have chosen many different paths but they chose Hamas to lead them into the catastrophe they've become)
