3. I'm sorry, that's just plain dumb
There are so many things wrong with the premise I don't know where to start.

1st, the UN is not a Government, and nation, or an Army.
2nd, the UN isn't surrounded by enemies that threaten it 24x7 365 for the past 50 years
3rd, even though the UN is FULL of Muslim nations that advocate he death and destruction of Israel and America, they are not a Muslim nation.

So what rules should apply?

The terrorist rule? or the Democratic rules?

I'm so sick of so-called Democrats blamig Israel for defending itself. The terrorists continue to lob 100s of missles a day into Israel, while Hamas attacks in the South. If it were in America, we'd react much more strongly.

11. Democratic rules would be nice
Seen nary hide nor hair of them in over 5 years now. Sometimes I think I see their shadow, but then a frat boy or a bristly moustache get in the way and it's back to might makes right.

4. Now now, that wouldn't be a very diplomatic stated goal
What they do is say they're going after the IDF and later they apologize for "collateral damage" they cause (that they can't cover up). It's all in the framing.
