A UN special rapporteur urged the suspension of Israel’s UN membership citing repeated violations of international law and the occupation of Palestinian territory.

“I do believe that the impunity that has been granted to Israel has allowed it to become a serial violator of international law,” Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, said at a news conference.

Albanese said she recommends the General Assembly consider the suspension of Israel’s credentials as a member of the UN until it ends violating international law and withdraws the clearly unlawful occupation.

“Israel, in the pursuit of realising Greater Israel, is attempting to reduce physically or spiritually … the presence of the Palestinian identity in the occupied Palestinian territory.”

Israel broke the charter they are required to follow. They broke it years ago.

Does it invalidate UN resolutions 181 and 273?

Great article that lays to rest, Israel stole Arab land, and the UK helped.

"In sum, the popular claim that the U.N. “created” Israel is a myth, and Israel’s own claim in its founding document that U.N. Resolution 181 constituted legal authority for Israel’s creation, or otherwise constituted “recognition” by the U.N. of the “right” of the Zionist Jews to expropriate for themselves Arab land and deny to the majority Arab population of that land their own right to self-determination, is a patent fraud."

Further corollaries may be drawn. The disaster inflicted upon Palestine was not inevitable. The U.N. was created for the purpose of preventing such catastrophes. Yet it failed miserably to do so, on numerous counts. It failed in its duty to refer the legal questions of the claims to Palestine to the International Court of Justice, despite requests from member states to do so. It failed to use all means within its authority, including the use of armed forces, to maintain peace and prevent the war that was predicted would occur upon the termination of the Mandate. And most importantly, far from upholding its founding principles, the U.N. effectively acted to prevent the establishment of an independent and democratic state of Palestine, in direct violation of the principles of its own Charter. The consequences of these and other failures are still witnessed by the world today on a daily basis. Recognition of the grave injustice perpetrated against the Palestinian people in this regard and dispelling such historical myths is essential if a way forward towards peace and reconciliation is to be found.

The media often fails to call out the false pretense, as there are heads at the helm of TV and radio that are Jewish and are going along with the lie.
The US has used Israel as a military station for years, and now we really don't need them with our long-range weaponry.
