I think Israel and the US gave up on the UN a long time ago. Like previous posters have said, if the UN wants legitimacy they have to apply law equally. This means taking stands against both sides... IE they have to start pushing the Palestinians as well as the Israelis.
I think if the Israelis felt secure in that they actually knew someone would enforce laws violated against them they would not feel the need to take the law into their own hands.
The UN has been way too biased to ever get the Israelis to cooperate. When Israel is getting dozens more motions tabled against it than places like Sudan, North Korea, Iran, etc... how do you expect them to react?
If the UN refuses to disarm Hezbollah despite a mandate which says they have to or react in anyway to other terrorist groups, how does Israel react? Should they just invest in bleach to clean the blood off their cafes from all the suicide bombings?
