That's a myth. Ground realities are completely different. At best, we play both sides against one another. "Behave or we'll step aside" or "Back off or we'll join the fight."

More often than not, the local PK contingent chooses the side of the locals. No real choice in the matter. It's their homes that we're staying in.

Don't expect the UN to win the war for Israel when the IDF themselves can't do it.
