Yes but then who else is united except for the America-led West? Africans? Latinos? Far east Asians? We saw horrible wars in the Korean Peninsula and in Indo-China which probably killed even more people than all the wars in the Middle East since at least 20th century. There, too, the local countries' political class interests clashed to the extent that remote powers got involved, leading to slaughter.
The West remains the only united entity with global power and that is largely because of America acting like its Caliph: Unites them, incentivizes them, threatens them and squashes internal disputes. The plight of the Palestinians is mostly because of the Israeli lobby which holds too much sway over the American policies in the Middle East. Once you remove the lobby, the Europeans WILL act in a more balanced manner in the Middle East. As of now, most of Europe acts like American lackeys. Heck, they couldn't even resist the American pressure in their own backyard on the Russia-Ukraine war.
What is reprehensible is that the veto and Security Council resolutions are not binding on AmericaA resolution is only as good as the will to enforce it. The Americans abstaining isn't due to international pressure; it's just giving others cake to shut them up.
Remember, this also plays into domestic consumption for Democrats. @Meengla @RescueRanger
