thank you for clarifying that the UN itself has no troops, despite me not making that claim in the first place

When I said “what do you expect them to do” I was referring to the UN, the topic of discussion. You then said you expected “them to mobilize their troops”.

you’re shrugging your shoulders and saying “what can we do, the UN has no power” instead of recognizing the failure of UN member nations to actually do something

That is not something it makes sense to say in light of what I actually said:

When people make fun of the UN for “writing a strongly worded letter” that is a missed opportunity to criticise national governments, especially that of the USA

First they came for the communists, and all that. Palestine won’t be the end, and when you find your own people the target of the Nazis, you’ll have no one left asking their nations to intervene so you can twist their words into an irrelevant strawman to pour gasoline on and lite.

If you think that we need effective criticism of governments who enable Israeli crimes against humanity to avoid that future, then you should be agreeing with me.
