> Given the UN’s history towards Israel, why would it ever take anything to the UNSC or believe that its arbitrations and judgments are anything but massively biased against it?

I don't really understand that line of reasoning, doesn't Israel owe its existence to the UN security council resolution in 1948?

Quite the opposite. Israel owes its existence only to its willingness to fight tooth and claw for that existence. The UN has never shown even the slightest willingness to police or enforce any of its resolutions. (Also I think you’re referring to the partition resolution of 1947, which was a dead letter literally on its arrival as civil war had already broken out in Palestine.)
