koreksi sedikit, idiomnya yg benar adalah to give s.o. "the cold shoulder"
Mas Ihsan, kalau tekst asli mencantumkan Zionis, ya sbg translator kita juga harus mencantumkan. Explanation saya di atas hanya sekedar ilustrasi mengenai penggunaan cold shoulder saja.
Note from asker:
Zionist-nya dihilangkan saja ya?

fall on deaf ears

Maaf kalau saya memberikan jawaban yang mungkin agak berbeda dari lainnya. Jawaban dari Eddie dan Hikmat sudah pas, hanya saja kalau mau lebih "pedas" bisa menggunakan idiom "fall on deaf ears".

Fall on deaf ears = tidak digubris sama sekali
Kalau kita bicara dengan orang tuli, pasti dicuekin sama sekali :D
Semoga membantu ^^

The (UN?) resolutions fall on Israeli's deaf ears.
Kata zionis dapat dihilangkan dalam konteks ini, kecuali mau lebih "pedas" lagi.

the ...... reaction ................... was cool

If you look at Google hits you will find that the understated 'cool reception' gets more hits than 'cold reception' - and often 'cold reception' is used as a play on words when there has actually been some freakish coldness about the reception rather than ordinary hostility or disinterest.
