Can i ask who took these things into account when Israel was created?
I'm not sure what you mean. The Zionist movement certainly took this into account, and I imagine that the UN members that voted in favour of partition did as well.

Also if they did, would they still defend them today?
Well the Zionist movement is now the Israeli government, and I imagine that they would try.

How can Israel commit genocide against Jews?

I gather that you were interpreting my previous post to mean that Israel was supposed to go around the world stopping genocides against everyone. Unfortunatly Israel doesn't have the power or even universal recognition. They are limited to being a haven, mainly for Jews, but not exclusively. Refugees from Darfur have arrived in Israel and have been adopted by Kibbutzim.

As for Israel committing genocide against non-Jews, I don't think it will ever happen, but I suppose it would lose its right and reason to exist. The struggle with the Arabs (both local and regional) was war, not genocide.
