Well, if I was on some function, and a guy who claimed that Hitler did not want to murder Jews came to speak, I'd also leave.
CorgisButtsDriveMeNuts
That's what majority of the world should've done long ago with any moron like him, or trump, or ...
djangojazz
WTF is he not arrested ON THE SPOT??? I thought the ICC had a warrant for him.
VinnyVeritas
That SOB makes Putin's war crimes look petty. Isn't it curious how Trump considers them both close friends? ...And what about those Epstein files !
TerribleBot
Shitty people, new nazis
cousteau
Fuck Israel, free Palestine.
Harbltron
It matters. It's a deep shame it has taken this much time and sickening bloodshed, but the majority is finally firmly anti-Israel.
Not quite sure why Bibi isn't being arrested, what with the ICC warrant out for him...

WHY INNA FUCK DIDN'T THEY DO THIS FOR TRUMP??? His speech was rambling, incoherent, accuratory of idiocy, and HE SAID EU COUNTRIES WERE GOING TO HELL....why didn't they walk out THEN?????
RigidGristle
HollerinAtTheVoid
Trump walked out because he thought it was lunch time
Slugsie
Are world leaders finally waking up to the genocide that is being committed?
daychilde
THAT is when we should have bombed the UN. heh
nomikos
I mean they probably didn't leave the building so uh.. but I get the gist
Illinifan88
The people of the world need to rise up and get rid of these authoritarians. Trump. Xi. Putin. Netanyahu. Kim. All of them. They are setting the world back decades. If not centuries.
nachosyndicate
It matters.
Gliocas
That was an option?! They shouldve do e that to Trump too.
NotADutchman
They should have stayed and called him out on his lies and genocide.
cousteau
I think "I don't need to listen to his bullshit" is an equally valid way to state their point. It transmits the same message before he even has a chance to talk. It's more respectful to stay and hear his speech, and they didn't want to give him that.
sadurdaynight
Well that'll show em. /s
p7hk9
They should have done this to Trimp as well
baals
Why didn't the UN arrest him?
bripi
Because - believe it or not - the UN does not have arrest, detain, or deport powers in any way, sense, or form. This organization, as well as tkhe ICJ, has ZERO TEETH. This, unfortunately, is why.
Huor
Awfully devious of Hamas to orchestrate that walk-out
taez555
It's sad that they stayed for Taco-teets rant about escalators and the nobel prize.
bripi
💯
groolrob12
And why did all those heroes stay to listen to the orange idiot's nonsense?
bripi

Che07
They should have done that, when a convicted felon and rapist and alleged pedophile babbled incoherently to them. Impeach the moron!
bripi

samwyze
What good would a 3rd impeachment do?
Che07
Of course, I mean one that actually leads to a criminal conviction. Yet, I know...
samwyze
Yeah, I expect he'll die of natural causes before that happens, but there's always hope.
fractalsphere
I'm honestly surprised they didn't do the same to Trump
bripi
And honestly, I'd have been more impressed.
slamorama
The USA has military bases in over 80 countries.
fractalsphere
True story - and how soon is it before an allied country asks us to pack up our shit and leave their sovereign territory?
slamorama
And if the USA says no?
CompressedInfo
It matters a great deal. Likud has made Israel into a pariah state. People have to make that obvious, to them and to each other
idrinkcheapbeer
So this is going to get Netanyahu to changes his ways? Doubtful.
CompressedInfo
It will not. But the accumulated changes in behavior from everyone else will eventually have an effect. The mood has shifted. We keep up the pressure
WoodyGoodman
Countries need to take steps to Isolate them w/ heavy duty sanctions/embargos. Don't send them anything, do buy anything from them. Arrest anyone coming from Israel who has likely aided/committed atrocities.
woodworkerf
Which is everyone because military service is mandatory in Israel.
Jyx123
It is, nominally speaking, but if the sources quoted in Wikipedia's article "Exemption from military service in Israel" are to be believed, in practice it is about two thirds of the men and slightly over half of the women who actually serve, as of a few years ago and quoting the presumably Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post.
So there's that.
lightfoot2
Yeah Trump brings serious lulz. Bennie just brings genocide talk.
jeejeejerrycotton
He is the foremost shitposter of our times.
Bojovnik84
But honestly, they should have left on him too, because that would have been the absolute cherry on top of the disaster of that trip. It would be 24/7 coverage on Fox about how we should leave the UN and bomb it. Fucking psychos.
Rakoth
Didn't Kilmeade apparently already say the UN building should be bombed or summin'?
LordofGoats
Jesse Watters said that. Kilmeade proposed missing the homeless as a means of getting them off the street.
Rakoth
Oh right, Kilmeade was involuntary lethal injections. Watters was bomb the UN building that's in the US. It's hard to keep track.
WoodyGoodman
The world needs to turn it's back on Israel. Sanction/embargo the hell out of them.
Zalm
Turning your back on them will just allow them to get desperate and make things worse. You cant just ignore the problem and hope it goes away. People dont learn lessons unless there is someone to teach it.
Eyeetsass
It’s happening slower than desired, but it is happening.
SprinklesMckitten
Are we talking about Israel or netinyahu at this point?
because his time in power marks a significant percentage of israel's lifespan and the whole "free elections" thing doesnt seem to apply.
oh, and lets not forget the protests recently that shut the country down.
Not absolving the population of their actions but if this was an African nation, the government would be described with different adjectives
GeneralPrower
Naval blockade and no-fly zone.
Eyeetsass
Pave Zion, and put up a parking lot.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
You'd also have to embargo the US and Britain for that to work.
WoodyGoodman
XaoJet
Upside, the US is already embargoing ourself for some reason... We legit have bids in the trades done and signed that now have parts pushed a year out for delivery. Fucking insanity.
Eyeetsass
Do it.
WoodyGoodman
fumptrucker
Trump is making it easier to not trade with the US with all the tariffs he's throwing around like confetti.
Mxlespxles
As an American, we will understand nothing if our lives are still comfortable.
Sanction us. Embargo us. Sure it will collapse the global economy, BUT THE FUCKERS ARE GONNA DO THAT ANYWAY SO YA MIGHT AS WELL GET SOMETHING OUT IF IT
ItReallyDoesntMatter23342134
1/3 want the government to help people.
1/3 want the government to hurt people.
1/3 don't care and will let either happen as long as they live comfortably.
EleganceIsDead
Considering the Sociopathic and self-destructive Trade War he started with basically the whole World, embargoes and sanctions would be easy to pass against thje US, but I'm not sure the US people would notice considering the current Economic Black Hole in which we reside. Fuckin China who's the US's biggest Agricultural buyer has cancelled or not made like 2+ billion dollars in orders just on Soybeans alone. -_-
Roaddog184
Ya, that’s a funny story too, all those duckling maga farmers voted for him and now his policies are destroying there lives. It’s funny, but it paves the way for the multinationals companies to come in and buy it all up. I’m reminded of the old song, sold my soul to the company store. Or who all be over soon enough I guess.
sbro11
you simply HAVE to remove the right to veto.
pastramionrye
Haha. Hahahaha. Hahahaha.
Pfffahahaha. Hahahahahahahahhahahaa.
-US
Imademyselfsquirtle
Remove Israel from UN
Someshithead241
Well they tried to but they vetoed the vote (sarcasm, but also probably would be the case)
NoNameFred
What they need to do is give the "Permanent Member" with a Veto each a once-per-year option to Veto a Veto.
Sure, you can Veto something that you feel strongly about. But, you have to hope that none of the other four feel EVEN STRONGER about making sure it doesn't get blocked.
(And, of course, on the flip side: use your "anti-Veto" too early, and you're back to square one. Hold it in reserve, and it makes people cautious. Refuse to EVER use it, and you're back to square one again.)
ATLandNerdy
Why? So they can actually pass more resolutions that will be completely ignored?
dobrealin87
Remove the right to veto to who?
To the core member country responsible for the most deaths in a war in modern history?
Cuz it would be pure hypocrisy to ask removing the right to veto for another country that is overhyped on social media, instead of the core member country that's closest than ever to triggering WW3
LoquaciousDude
Do that and the UN becomes useless, it's not a place of law and order, its a diplomatic body. Try and turn the UN into a place where law matters, and you need someone to enforce that law against even the worlds most powerful nations. Very few countries will agree to that, particularly those who are strong. I mean, go ask your fellow citizens how they'd feel about having to pay restitution to non-developed countries who lose people to climate change, no matter your moral stance people in general>
LoquaciousDude
will be against that, but the UN has a lot more non-developed nations than developed nations, who would(morally speaking, rightfully) start asking developed nations to take responsibility for their reckless industrialization. That's assuming it'd ever get to that stage. The UN has "power" because of the nations in it, it was never meant as a unifying international body / order, its meant as a diplomatic venue that can keep the world out of conflict.
ruint
can't, the big powers will walk away. there must always be a negotiating table, or war is inevitable
TheJuiceLoosener
The poor countries need their own thing without the rich countries insisting on total control
Cthulhuonabike
Newsflash asshole, wars have continued happening the whole time!!
ruint
sorry,
*direct war between world powers
awkungen42
Seems like it's inevitable anyways, and it keeps people from intervening to actually help.
NKato
Unilaterally vetoing a resolution because your head is so far up the ass of an anti-semite, is not "negotiation".
NKato
And for those curious about who I'm calling an anti-semite, I'm calling Netanyahu and the fascist Israelis exactly that. The amount of semitic blood they have pales in comparison to the hundreds of thousands they've murdered and maimed.
sbro11
yes, but it will never work properly without it, so what to do?
aRabidGerbil
The UN is working properly. It was never meant to protect human rights, give smaller nations a voice, or help people in need; its sole reason for existing is to keep major powers talking so they don't just start WW3.
Kaleopolitus
Second club. The UN including them, which can hardly get anything done. Another without them, because they refuse to join as equals.
ruint
There alre already plenty of other clubs, all sharing the common quality of having no binding authority over non-member states, especially big powerful ones.
CaptSchmidtGaming
until a benevolent dictatorship reveals its self.... we embrace captialism.
BishlamekGurpgork
The problem with benevolent dictatorships is that they only remain benevolent for one lifespan.
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
Not even that.
ParryLost
Uh... First, what does this have to do *with the UN, a negotiating table for international issues,* secondly, those are both awful options?
CaptSchmidtGaming
until humanity overcomes its darkness, we don't deserve any better.
sbro11
perhaps we need a direct democracy where a huge number (if not all) were to vote about bills online, and not just the representative variation that we use now.
ParryLost
You are thinking of the UN as a world government, and it simply was never meant to be one, nor set up to function as one. Even if a world →
keebs63
The UN would not exist without the veto. It's not a world government, by design, it has zero power to act on anything because it's nothing more than a forum to foster communication and (hopefully) cooperation between nations. It has functioned as designed since its founding.
OsbornThorsguard
But the veto is not something every nation has, only the big powers have them, which makes progress impossible. No country should be able to veto a resolution that has passed a majority. Im fully aware that none of the veto countries would agree, but it's the only way to make it an actual forum, and not just a club for the big countries.
keebs63
The veto power is a thing in the UN Security Council only, in the general assembly, a simple majority is all that's needed for a resolution to pass. Because of that, the UN's capacity as a forum is not impeded. The security council can adopt compulsory measures to punish countries, which none of the permanent members would EVER agree to without the ability to veto. So to be clear, want to vote on if Israel is commiting genocide or not? Veto-proof. Want to put peacekeepers in Israel? Veto-able.
worldwarzero
Maybe give the big countries a super vote that several smaller countries equals? Cause way it is feels like you only need 2 of the big countries to work together to veto anything against the other and both can now do anything
