Israel has launched attacks on multiple countries and occupied territories over the past year .

Israel ’s prime minister, while standing on stage at the UN , denounced the body as “contemptible”, a “house of darkness” and a swamp of antisemitic bile” The Israeli military has bombed UN schools, warehouses and refugee camps in Gaza for 12 consecutive months , killing a record 228 UN employees in the process.

Mehdi Hasan : 40 countries issued a joint statement condemning Israel ’s assault on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon but talk is cheap.

He says evicting Israel from the UN , or suspending its participation in the general assembly as a first step, would send a powerful message that the authority of the United Nations still matters.
