1. I don't believe in kicking any country out of the UN

Though it should be sanctioned and the US needs to stop using its veto to protect Israel from consequences for its actions. I know this is a pie in the sky desire, but it's what I believe.

2. Right right, let's make the UN judenfrei again!

Not surprising.

[Deep State Witch]

3. We Didn't Kick Russia Out

When they invaded Ukraine (twice). We didn't kick Sudan out for genocide in Darfur. We didn't kick Rwanda out for genocide.

[tritsofme]

6. Yeah but....they're not Jews.

It’s a pretty transparent game at play here.

[Gaugamela]

4. The whole point of the UN is to encourage dialogue between nations in order

to lessen tensions and hopefully work towards global peace and prosperity. There’s no reason to kick any nation out of the UN. It would serve no purpose.

16. Israel has thumbed its nose at the UN and the international order since 1948.

In defiance of dozens of UN resolutions.

Dialogue does not work with Israel.

Kicking it out would serve the purpose of reigning it in, finally holding it accountable and reestablishing respect for international law and the UN, whose authority and integrity have been damaged by Israel for decades.

There is also the small matter of the hundreds upon hundreds of UN workers Israel has murdered and the UN agency working for Palestinians that Israel smeared without evidence and successfully destroyed - causing great suffering not just in Gaza but in other Palestinian refugee camps in the Middle East.

What organization allows all this to happen with impunity? How long should Israel be permitted to act with impunity - until it completely destroys the UN along with Palestinians?

[Gaugamela]

17. I don't dispute what you say. I have been a pro-Palestinian voice on DU from 10/7.

In the first few months there were very few here who would stand up for them. I would get heavily flamed for my position. In my opinion all aid should be cut off to Israel, and Israel should be dissolved. They never had the right to Palestinian land. The people of Israel should be repatriated back to their homelands, or where they want to go (but I absolutely do not want the fascist element in the US). But nonetheless, it makes no sense to me to kick them out of the UN. Frankly, it would make more sense to kick the US out at this point.

20. Sure, just cleanse the land of all Jews. Where have I heard this before?

Where is the “homeland” of a fifth generation Israeli?

What to do with the descendants of the more than 700k Jews who were expelled or fled Arab nations?

What is the final solution here?

21. Similar reasoning to electing Trump.

The reasoning was that not voting for Harris would send a message to the Democrats and then something something something would happen and everything would be marvelous.

Still waiting.

[chouchou]

5. Absolutely not.

[Celerity]

7. no nation should be kicked out

[mountain grammy]

8. This Jew

Votes yes.

[JI7]

9. Yes, just like they were kicked out of all the Muslim Arab nations

But them being in a tiny area still is a problem.

[EdmondDantes_]

10. Absolutely not

As others have noted, other countries weren't kicked out for similar things. What I think should happen is the removal of permanent veto powers. At the very least the US, China, and Russia have abused that power.

[Glorious bastard]

11. Should I be wondering what this poll is doing on DU?

[Ping Tung]

12. The UN intervened against South Africa to end apartheid. The same measures can be made to end the genocide.

Of course the killers will count on their collaborator Trump to block such action.


Key Actions by the United Nations:

Resolutions and Condemnation: In 1962, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 1761, which condemned apartheid policies, and later, in 1973, labeled apartheid a "crime against humanity".
Suspension from the General Assembly: In 1974, South Africa was suspended from the General Assembly.
Mandatory Arms Embargo: Following a voluntary embargo in 1963, the UN Security Council made the arms embargo mandatory in 1977 through Resolution 418, and it was later strengthened.
[b]Oil Embargo: The UN General Assembly urged member states to stop supplying petroleum to South Africa, initiating efforts for oil sanctions in 1963.
International Convention: The General Assembly approved the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid in 1973, which came into force in 1976
Economic and Other Sanctions: General Assembly Resolution 1761 called for member states to impose economic and other sanctions, including breaking off diplomatic relations and ceasing trade with South Africa.
Boycotts and Suspensions: The UN requested states and organizations to suspend cultural, educational, sporting, and other exchanges with the apartheid regime.
Special Committee Against Apartheid: This committee was established to organize conferences, seminars, and promote action against apartheid globally

13. I'm wondering if this poll went the way you thought it would?

No, I don't believe that Israel should be removed from the UN, but there should be restrictive sanctions levied on Isreal for their actions against the people of Gaza.

[Iggo]

14. They should be kicked out of Gaza.

[Jack Valentino]

15. NO, they shouldn't be "kicked out"--- but those responsible for the GENOCIDE in GAZA

should be held accountable!

[róisín_dubh]

18. Erm...

Have you had a good close read of US history?

Whilst what Netanyahu and his band of RWNJs is doing is appalling, we’ve not exactly been the shining example of human rights in the past century. And we don’t like to sign international treaties because we don’t like to be bound by them.
So… if anyone’s going to get kicked out, we can start with the security council bullies and work from there.

19. Israel has a stronger military than many combined EU countries.

[Torchlight]

23. To what specific end?

Membership within the UN has been suspended, changed, or disputed in the past, but never revoked.

[RT Atlanta]

24. Not necessarily, but...

It's long past fucking time for the U.S.A. to turn off the spigot of billions of dollars each year in annual 'aid and support.'
