The UN is on Israels side to the point of bias, are they? What about this - United Nations Resolutions Against Israel "1955-1992"

The US blocks resolutions in the security council, to be sure, but the UN has spent plenty of time telling Israel that they are behaving improperly. I think the US should get out of the way and allow Israel to have to face a few consequences for the stupid things they do, but to claim that the UN is biased for Israel is simply untrue. The UN might also have a little more success in dealing with the Saddam Husseins of the world if it was not, as a result of the US's blocking of it's usefullness, seen as a powerless group of resolution passers. Of course, it can only get those non-binding, General Assembly resolutions through because all of the permanent members of the Security Council block actions (for statrigic reasons) that are morally sound and needed. We do it, China does it, France does it and Russia does it.

And if you know the history, then you know that most of the tentions that exist between Israel and the Arab states were created by the Western Powers in an attempt to solidify control of the region. There is no natural reason that these two peoples can not live side by side.
