You ask very good questions ! The UN is there because the conflict started with the creation of Israel in 1948. Borders, refugees, ceasefires, wars, occupation, Lebanon, Gaza, West Bank — all of it became international from day one.

The first UN peacekeeping mission in history was sent there in 1948, and it is still there today. That is why the UN focuses so much on Israel/Palestine. Not because it is the only conflict in the world, but because it is one of the UN’s oldest unfinished conflicts.

Israel / wider Middle East:
The first UN peacekeeping mission, UNTSO, was created in 1948 after the first Arab-Israeli war. So the UN has been involved around Israel and its neighbours for about 78 years as of 2026.

Lebanon / Israel border:
The UN force in south Lebanon, UNIFIL, has been there since March 1978, after Israel invaded Lebanon. That is about 48 years.

Gaza / Palestinian refugees:
The UN agency UNRWA was established in 1949 and began operations in 1950. It works with Palestinian refugees in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. So in Gaza-related refugee work, the UN has been involved about 76 years.

So, Hummin straight: the UN has been in that conflict area almost from the beginning of modern Israel itself — since 1948. In Lebanon specifically since 1978.

Actually the UN was involved before the creation of Israel with the 1947 partition plan.

...and yet the UN does not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. Which pretty much says it all.

The international community will not be patient for decades while countless civilians die.

The best solution would be to assist Israel in defeating Hamas

Complexed!

UN does not officially list Hamas as a terrorist organization, and the reason is the exact same mechanism that protects Israel, the Security Council veto.

A global UN terrorist designation requires consensus among all five permanent council members.While the U.S., UK, and France view Hamas as terrorists, Russia and China do not. Just as the U.S. uses its veto to shield Israel from resolutions, other powers block this designation.

Because of this geopolitical deadlock, Western nations choose to ban Hamas on a national level instead.

BTW , there's been about 700 threads on ASENNOW about the war in Israel , have yet seen 1 thread about the war in Myanmar,

Why do you think that is ?

The UN does not as an organization designate who or what are terrorist groups.

Member nations vote on the matter, there has never been a consensus achieved on the matter while China and Russia are permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Only 9 out of 195 UN Nation States designate Hamas a terrorist organization.

The vast majority of nations do not.

Which pretty much says it all.

If there were no deniers, apologists, or defenders of Israel's millennium long violence to keep and capture land using overwhelming force and no mercy, there would not have been so many threads!

Do we disagree about the junta in Myanmar?

Well focusing on a nation committing genocide seems reasonable.

The best solution would be to hold both Hamas and Israel accountable under international law.

A second best would be cut funding to Israel and remove the means for Israel to continue its wars of aggression and the ongoing genocide.

No mercy? Tell that to the 20% of the Israeli population that is Arab. You could also tell it to the Jewish populations of their neighbouring countries too. Or maybe you couldn't...

IF Israel used "overwhelming force", there would not be a single Gazan alive today. Instead, the population there has doubled this century. Which again says a lot for the mercy and restraint of the IDF.

Let's be honest, we see this conflict from two different sides. I have no problem seeing both parties as evil, while what keeps these threads alive is the denial of responsibility or crimes agsinst civilians. Apartheid was bad, but Israel indeed has made an example of itself.

Not liking Isreals policies is fair enough .

But why just dislike Israel's policies ?

Why not dislike Sudan , Myanmar, Yemen policies in equal measures?

Not true. They have expressed condemnations of Syria, Sudan, Libya, Iran, and Rohingya. Look it up.

The only question to ask is, why? I don't know and neither do you. However, I think all nations should speak out against atrocities by Hamas, Hezbollah and Israel.

The UN created Israel. They made it. It comes from the UN. It is a child of the UN.

Like parents that create a child that then grows up to rape, torture and mass murder women and children, tells their neighbors to leave or be shot, it's only right they keep an eye on the embarrassing piece of turd that they now wish they didn't bring into this world, while it is still here.... which won't be for too much longer. 🙂

You’re making the simplistic argument that ignores the impact of Israel’s crimes against humanity on Israel itself.

Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing has already impacted Israel’s international standing, withdrawing support for Israel is now firmly established within the American political discourse. Criticism of Israel is no longer something that takes place in hushed voices.

The cat is out of the bag.

Netanyahu has trashed Israel on the world stage.

It was explained. The Jewry in Israel do a lot that deserve to be focused on, currently bombing 5 different countries/regions (quite some doing seeing it only neighbors 4), and it was the UN that created the stain on mankind that Israel is. It is a UN creation. They have a duty to monitor what they should have aborted, and no doubt wish they did. 🙂
