The British Empire created Israel. The same empire that fought wars to keep their colonies. The same empire that set fire to the white house during the war of 1812.

Why did the USA enter WW1 to help the British Empire fight Germany? Why did we help the British Empire after they set the white house on fire? What happened between the war of 1812 and WW1 to change that?

Israel is an ethnic nation-state of the type that emerged in opposition to the Empires.

An empire created Israel if you accept the British created Israel. You could claim the UN created Israel with the UN partition plan or the League of Nations for the mandates I suppose, but the LON was created by the allied powers and the UN seems to be the same way. United Nations Security Council Resolutions 83 and 84 provided the authority for member states to go to war with North Korea. Hardly unbiased. China took the DPRK's side against the UN.

I guess I should ask you this question first. Who created Israel?

By IRGUN and the Stern Gang (LEHI) ?
You seem to be ignoring the Balfour Declaration.

The UN partition plan carved a piece of Palestine out for the Jews. Naturally the Palestinians did not recognize that piece having a right to exist much like Lincoln did not recognize the Confederacy's right to exist. Didn't the UN partition plan create a civil war in Palestine?
