Uhhhh, maybe b/c OKC was a (presumably) act of domestic terrorism INSIDE A SOVEREIGN CONTIGUOUS COUNTRY, while the Jenin battle happened OUTSIDE OF A SOVEREIGN CONTIGUOUS COUNTRY, in an OCCUPIED TERRITORY & REFUGEE CAMP, and was an ACT OF A SOVEREIGN NATION, while OKC was (presumably) the act of a couple of individuals.  Apples & Oranges.

Think of the UN in this case as a "neutral" third party in a dispute involving two countries.  Each side has friends in other countries wanting to get it all sorted out.

An analogy here might be if, say, the Canadians got really mad at us for ruining their culture with our endless TV programming beamed across the border, and called the UN to try and resolve the issue.  [:)]

Well, if you ask that then you should also ask why we go stick our nose into everyone else's business.  We're not exactly the most isolationist minded nation on this planet...

I'm just wondering where the UN gets off sticking it's nose in the business?

Member countries of the UN willingly offer the UN the power to stick its nose into international affairs.
