    It’s just a load of people saying we don’t like what you’re doing, this thing is bad, don’t do that. That’s it. For something that was setup to prevent atrocities like we’re seeing in Palestine, and have been seeing for 75 years, historically, it’s done, and continues to do, a pretty terrible job.

      The UN wasn’t set up to prevent atrocities like Palestine/Israel.

      It was set up to prevent large multi-nation conflicts like WW1 and WW2 by providing a platform for dialogue & diplomacy between multiple countries WITH a standing army acting as a peacekeeping force.

      Unfortunately, proxy conflicts like Israel/Palestine still occur.
