19. both the UK and Russia are permanent members of the UN Security Council
and therefore have veto power over any vote.


Unless the UK or Russia decide to let us place a no fly zone over their own country there is no way to get that action sanctioned.



If Israel was in a civil war with large amounts of civilian casualties and the government attacking it's own people then yes. I would then support a no fly zone over Israel.
