maybe not fire rockets into Israel? Killing civilians and taking hostages also did not help in this conflict I suppose. And let's not forget it's not only the Hamas that is fueling this conflict but Iran and some Jihad terror groups too...

We have Israel on one side of the conflict and they did their fair share of atrocities but they are only one side of this mess.

No, not what they're not supposed to do, what are they supposed to do? Because they've already tried peace multiple times and it didn't work. It's still not working in the West Bank.

It’s still not working in the West Bank.

well then let's see who wins, right.

You know the basic concept of cause and effect, right?

Well, palestinians are firing missiles into israel as an effect caused by israel firing missiles into gaza and west bank.

Insane that this comment is downvoted. There are 1400 dead Israeli civilians and hundreds more still held hostage by Hamas. If they want peace so bad, maybe release the hostages?

Depitie this, Israel responds by bombing civilians. I believe that's the reason for the downvoted and I agree.

They're not intentionally bombing civilians. They even specifically tell civilians where not to be.

That's a big difference between the two adversaries.

They’re not intentionally bombing civilians.

I don't really know how naive you have to be to believe that about Israel.

I just don't dive face-first into propaganda and like, read.

Do you dive into UN resolutions against Israel though?

Not generally, no. The UN is, ultimately, a political body.

I'd take the UN more seriously if they took themselves more seriously. Their "Human Rights Council" membership, as an example, is a bad joke.

https://www.un.org/en/ga/75/meetings/elections/hrc.shtml#:~:text=Elections%20and%20Appointments,-Election%20of%20the&text=The%20General%20Assembly%20elected%20the,beginning%20on%201%20January%202021.

I think there is value in the UN, and it's a net positive, but I don't much care about any specific resolutions.

Ah yes the UN stopped mattering the minute it started reporting on Israel's horrendous human rights violation. Suddenly they don't matter as a body. I suppose every human rights organization that has been documenting Israeli crimes is also not good enough?

The UN has never really mattered in any practical political sense. They do great humanitarian work, though, and are a major contributor to the success of developing nations.

They can't prevent wars or stop atrocities though. They need NATO for that, generally.
