So if Israel's actions are considered illegal by the UN, how is this not a condemnation? Who needs to get their facts straight for once?

Israel may have an election process but it is still a theocracy. Some would like
to make the US a Christian theocracy but so far haven't succeeded as they have in Israel making it a Jewish theocracy. Zionism comes from biblical references.
Many conservative Jewish rabbis in Israel are calling the shots.

The issue is religious difference between Zionist Judaism (hard core) and Islam (equally fundamentalist). Still, the Palestinians are an oppressed people.

The ridiculous argument over The Temple of the Mount exacerbates the problem.
