Why have US-sponsored peace talks failed to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
The United States does not represent the views of the Israelis or the Palestinians. Only those two parties can come to any viable agreement. Any agreement foisted upon them will be rejected outright by both parties. Therefore, it would be impossible for the United States to actually resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. As a result the United States can only help facilitate negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians and any other parties that may be beneficial to negotiations. This is because the United States seems to have the best track-record of bringing together Middle-Eastern rivals where Israel is concerned. (Egypt, Jordan, and the Oslo Accords)
In terms of why the negotiations have failed, there are a number of issues that need to be resolved that cannot be resolved while the rulers of one or both groups remain intransigent, including:
1) Mutual Recognition: Israel would need to recognize a completely independent and sovereign Palestinian Government that would fully control a certain amount of the former British Mandate of Palestine (most likely Gaza and the West Bank). Israel would also have to confer on this state the unambiguous nature of being correct and necessary for Israel. Conversely, Palestine would have to recognize the Right for Israel to Exist as a Jewish State occupying the remaining amount of the British Mandate of Palestine (most likely 1949-Israel). Both sides would have to recognize the historical and emotional value that the land also has to the other.
2) Regional/International Recognition: States that have adopted attitudes strongly favoring one side at the expense of the other, such as the Arab States would need to recognize the legitimacy of both Israel and Palestine.
3) Israeli Reparation Payments: Israel dispossessed many Palestinians of their property, either by malicious activities that took place during the Arab-Israeli Wars or by Ben-Gurion refusing to let Palestinians who left return after the 1948-9 War. Israel needs to pay the Palestinian government reparations for the land that was taken in this way.
4) Israeli Withdrawal from the Settlements:Israel must withdraw from the Settlements to provide Palestine with a viable infrastructure and complete sovereignty. The Settlers must return to Israeli territory. The buildings, however, should be left as partial payment of the above-mentioned reparations.
5) Palestinians Must Concede Right of Return:Recognizing the State of Israel as a Jewish State is meaningless if Palestinians en masse are allowed to Return to Israel. Therefore, Palestinians (and their backers) must abandon the notion that they can ever return to Israeli territory. Palestinians should leave the refugee camps and become proper citizens in this new country of Palestine.
6) Jerusalem Must Be Shared or Internationalized: Palestine and Israel both want Jerusalem and the only way to solve this is either divide the city East/West respectively and divide the Old City or Internationalize the City or some combination of Internationalization and division. Neither side will rest until it can assure its followers that its holy sites will be protected.
7) Liberal Thought: Just in general, people have to be willing to compromise and live with that compromise.

Why has the UN failed to resolve armed conflicts?
The UN has often struggled to resolve armed conflicts due to several factors, including the complexity of political, ethnic, and historical grievances that fuel disputes. Additionally, the Security Council's reliance on the consensus of its permanent members can lead to paralysis when geopolitical interests clash. Limited resources and operational challenges in conflict zones further hinder effective intervention. Lastly, the UN's peacekeeping missions sometimes lack robust mandates or sufficient troop contributions, restricting their ability to enforce peace effectively.
What is a Shooting War?
The term "shooting war" is pretty descriptive. Soldiers from different nations are shooting at each other. In modern warfare, such wars would not be limited to rifles or machine guns, there would be artillery as well, and possibly many other types of weaponry.

US military intervention failed to end a Civil War and what?
U.S. military intervention in the Civil War in Syria aimed to combat ISIS and stabilize the region but ultimately failed to resolve the broader civil conflict. Despite significant military efforts, the intervention did not lead to a political resolution or unify the warring factions, with various groups continuing to vie for power. The complex interplay of regional actors, local grievances, and international interests further complicated the situation, illustrating the limitations of military force in achieving lasting peace.
