Chava, Israel is responsible for repatriating the refugees. They agreed to do this (under the terms of Security Council Resolution 194) as a precondition of their membership in the UN. You'll notice that after 65 years, they haven't gotten around to it, but the General Assembly hasn't had the cojones to boot them out.
You should know that UN policy is set by the UN Security Council not the General Assembly and the USA will back Israel even is its policies towards the Palestinians are irrational. This is why the UN has never been able to apply sanctions to Israel when ever it has launched agressions against its neigbors, for introducing nuclear weapons to the Middle East (Israel also has chemical and very likely biological weapons for just in case) or violated the Geneva Conventions regarding the treatment of people under occupation.
Funnily, the limp wristed lefties would be first up against the wall if they ever found themselves in Hamas controlled Palestine. It must be a self-hatred thing.

The General Assembly can refuse to accept a state's credentials in its own body, can it not?
Israel is a construct of religion and self described racial heritage. It is depending on Western aid and would not last long without it. The countries surrounding it are also religiously governed as well and all are supported either by foreign aid or massive oil money. All borders in that region were drafted by colonial powers or by Israel, regardless of ethnic or religious populations, resources, geography, or traffic routes.
Every party, group, government or religion in the Middle East claims to be the right one and pushes their radical objectives with spies, bombs, tanks, propaganda, and indoctrination. Racially all of them belong to the semitic race, btw.
It's not that there's hate. It's more the lack of sympathy for these subsidized, constructed nations and their truly weird methods to run them.

If you're going to quote a resolution, then you should have included that it was only a set of principles which came out while Isreal was AT war with numerous Arab countries. And you also left out that all the Arab countries in the UN at the time voted against it.

It can with the concurance of the Security Council like it did when it transfered the China seat from the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the People's Republic of China in 1971. This was an important event because China also had a permanent seat on the Security Council. In a surprising turn of events the USA didn't obstruct this move like it had done from the fall of the Republican Government of Chiang Kaishek on the mainland in 1949 until 1971. This move was long overdue. A similar move was made in 1992 when the Permanent seat of the USSR was transfered to the Russian Federation with the agreement that the Russian Federation would assume all treaty and financial obligations of the former USSR.
Israel is NOT the only democracy in the Middle East; countries like Jordan are that too and offer more freedom to all religions unlike Israel that is pro-Jewish and only Jews can basically own and build land.
America should stop giving billions of dollars of tax payers money to Israel when they could support themselves!
Jordan does NOT offer religious freedom to Jewish residents as there are none there! Jewish residents are not really welcome there.
Again the USA is obligated to give Egypt as well as Israel economic/financial as well as military aid as part of the American commitment in the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty.
The reason conservatives are more likely to support israel than liberals is because conservatives are more likely to be islamophobic and anti-Arab. Also conservatives tend to be much more religious and some believe that "God gave the land to the jews" which is why you get so many Christian Zionists fundraising for Israeli settlements.
I find this a little ironic, because a substantial portion of Palestinians are Christian and have suffered immensely under Israel's occupation and 60 years of ethnic cleansing. I have a friend who volunteered extensively in the West Bank and she witnessed radical Jewish settlers stoning young Christian Palestinian children walking to school. The soldiers present there did nothing about it.

Why do conservatives support Israel
