    Meanwhile the UN as a whole backs Palestinian (meaning Hamas) entry into the UN. 

    If they didn’t have double standards, they’d have none at all.

    If Israel is expelled, they realize that Israel is no longer bound by the various UN resolutions.

    In theory, a massive carpet bombing by Israel would no longer be in contravention of the UN rules, because it is no longer part of the UN.

  3. Given how the UN is anti Israeli to its core, that seems very plausible. As long as Iran and their proxies get a seat at the table everyone seems to be happy about it.

  4. That would be a very dangerous move, because while they clearly want to delegitimize Israel, it also means the UN would lose significant funding.

    “(b) If Israel is illegally expelled, suspended, denied its credentials, or in any other manner denied its right to participate in any principal or subsidiary organ or in any specialized, technical, or other agency of the United Nations, the United States shall suspend its participation in any such organ or agency until the illegal action is reversed. The United States shall reduce its annual assessed contribution to the United Nations or such specialized agency by 8.34 percent for each month in which United States participation is suspended pursuant to this section. Nothing in this section may be construed to diminish or to affect United States participation in the United Nations Security Council or the Safeguards Program of the International Atomic Energy Agency.””

    The UN will want to think twice about this one.

    Also would be pretty amazing if Russia and North Korea and Iran remain in the UN but not Israel. 

  5. Well, if UN is stupid enough to expel Israel from General Assembly, Israel will have free rein on what it can do without any restraint.

    And the hypocrisy is palpable when as another user already mentioned Russia getting away with invading independent Ukraine, continue to commit war crimes, Putin is now wanted criminal, no one complain Russia in Security Council etc.

    Might as well just go back to calling it the League of Nations. 

    It certainly is run like a league nowadays. 

  7. Fine, do it. Makes it even easier for Israel to push the anti-Semitic UN out of the way and finish the war faster. Would be a godsend for them.

    The Whole idea of UN is to have a place where every country is represented and can have a voice.

    This stupid idea of banning Israel is only supported by idiots with no understanding of how the UN works and why it’s there.

    We have had some of the worst human that ever lived speaking at the UN because if they can’t be heard they also can’t be talked to.
