    They could all say they are going to disband if Israel doesn’t stop. Why even have the UN if they can’t do anything

    Or better yet expel isreal

      The UN should disband for not stopping Israel, something the US (Biden right now) would stop yet when Biden was criticized you defended him as ‘there was nothing he could do’.

      Love Americans and their hypocrisy.

      First of all, that’s also not in his power.

      Secondly, how would disbanding the part of the UN that investigates human rights abuses help Palestinians?

      Edit: Wait, you think the entire UN should be disbanded over this?

      The UN is the only reason we haven’t had a nuclear war yet. Otherwise, countries wouldn’t have a neutral world forum.

          That’s not what the UN is for… it’s not a military force… it’s a round table for nations to work their differences out via words and not nuking each other.

            People like to criticise the UN but the alternative to having the UN is having no UN. We’d be fucked

      How would you react if the UN becomes the world government, so that they would finally have the power to stop wars and hunger that people always complain about?

      Precisely.

        I may be ok with that depending on the governing structure they came up with for a world government. Like would it be a democracy? Socialism? It really depends lol

        But right now it seems very ineffective if America or Israel does something horrible they can just veto or whatever and nothing gets done.

        As an American myself I would love it if the UN actually had powers to keep my government in line. they sure as hell don’t listen to the will of the people.
