    Given the existence of world powers, realistically we are never going to get UN intervention where countries like US or China are stakeholders, so that’s not how it is designed. It would just turn into open warfare and we would probably be on WW6 by now.

    I mean, yes, but it would still be nice for the UN to think about addressing its own systemic biases in deciding what deserves intervention. For starters, by looking at why only those 5 nations conveniently have eternal veto on the Security Council instead of something like a rotating country moderator panel like other councils.

    Given the UN literally created the modern state of Israel and defined its borders in 1947, which arguably is part of the reason this particular dispute over the territory, which happens to have been annexed by Israel in 1948.

    The original UN map before the First Modern Arab Israeli war for anyone unfamiliar with it.
