Instead of endlessly condemning Israel, they could put some heat on Hamas, Hezhollah, Jordan, Iran and Egypt - all of whom share some responsibility for this mess.Hypothetically, what action could the UN take?

Much is being said in the media and RF about how Palestinians are innocent, subjected to apartheid, completely subdued by Hamas, and so on.
For the sake of discussion, let's say that's all true.
Note: I edited the following question after post #4, thanks @Orbit
Why has the UN taken no actions to remove Hamas since Israel unilaterally exited from Gaza? (it's been almost 20 years now)
I totally believe that life in Gaza is horrible. That's it's been horrible for years. If Palestinians cannot rise up to expel Hamas, then where is the UN to help them? The UN (in this case mostly driven by the Islamic faction called OIC), has plenty of time to endlessly condemn Israel, right? How about unseating Hamas instead. If the UN is all about human rights, Gaza seems like an urgent situation, and it has been for years now.
My uncharitable suspicion is that the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation), views Palestinians as expendable pawns in their quest to eliminate Israel.
It's true, the U.N. has passed many resolutions pointing out the many violations of Israel against its various neighbors. There's a substantial history of such violations. Israel has also ignored U.N. resolutions.Instead of endlessly condemning Israel, they could put some heat on Hamas, Hezhollah, Jordan, Iran and Egypt - all of whom share some responsibility for this mess.
If by "action" you mean "pass a resolution". The U.N. has passed many. In the case of Israel, it can be said that many U.N. resolutions have had very little effect on curbing violent behavior. Only occasionally will a U.N. resolution will have a noticable impact. Also, it takes time for a U.N. resolution to pass.They are well known for not taking much action for anything imo.
Resolutions have been proposed and discussed. Resolutions are being proposed and discussed. That is the U.N. They are not a dictator that can instantly declare whatever it wants on a whim.They could do what they are supposed to do.
Israel has been a member of the United Nations since 1949.
"The purposes of the United Nations, as set forth in the Charter are:
- to maintain international peace and security
- to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples
- to cooperate in solving international economic, social, cultural and humanitarian problems and in promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms
- to be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in attaining these common ends
UN Charter | United Nations

You say, they should do "what they are supposed to do". Doesn't "what they are supposed to do" include deliberation and discussion with the aim to promote friendly relations among nations, cooperation in solving international problems, and harmonzing the actions of nations in attaining common ends? Perhaps, the U.N. is already doing what the U.N. is supposed to do and doing it in the manner that it has been designed to do it.
Coerced? Why?I'm of the opinion that the UN is often coerced by the OIC, any thoughts on that?
At the end of the day, underneath all of the bs is antisemitism! The double standard in how Israel is supposed to respond as a state to a massive attack on its civilian population reveals the pre-existing hatred for the Jews! Same Hitler different rationalization!Much is being said in the media and RF about how Palestinians are innocent, subjected to apartheid, completely subdued by Hamas, and so on.

The aid is used to fund the "final solution" like Hitlers final solution!And what has Hamas done with the billions and billions of aid dollars it's received over the years?
Coerced? Why?
Yes.My claim is that the UN is often coerced by the OIC...
OIC stands for Organization of Islamic Cooperation. It has 57 member countries. It is a huge voting block in the UN. Not surprisingly, its agenda is to to further Islamic causes. So it coerces the UN to further its agenda, correct?

Jewish & Non-Jewish Population of Israel/Palestine (1517-Present)Yes.
Also considering the enormous economic power that those fundamentalist countries of the Gulf have.
And the number of bribable, treacherous individuals in the West.
Sorry...what do you mean?Jewish & Non-Jewish Population of Israel/Palestine (1517-Present)
Having been in the region continuously for at least 3500+ years the above census link shows the population growth since the 1500's.
The link shows the number of Jews and non-Jews living in the region of Palestine from the 1500's.Sorry...what do you mean?
I am a foreigner...so I need people to speak clearly.
And...?The link shows the number of Jews and non-Jews living in the region of Palestine from the 1500's.
Some people in the world seem to think that Israel or Jews living in the region called "Palestine" began in 1947And...?
What's your point?
