I didn’t know that was an option… has that been an option this whole time?

    Eh idk about that. Historically the only thing keeping the UN from rolling in the tanks in response to Israel’s actions has been America’s UNSC veto. I am fully in favor of an international coup of Israel at this point, their political system is rotten to the core and unlike Russia they have no veto

      I’d rather see ICJ arrest warrants than a coup/mandatory caretaker government - because that just throws the clock back 80 years to when that didn’t work and solves none of the structural problems, and we don’t want another ‘police action’ entanglement of US/international troops in Israel & Palestine.

      Besides, Israel does have a veto independent of the US - they have nukes. That’s a mine that cannot be discounted.

      I don’t believe you. The UN doesn’t have the power or authority to “roll tanks” anywhere, much less the desire. Regardless, I’m not sure what eradicating the Jewish state has to do with how American foreign policy works.

      By the way, eradicating the Jewish state sounds a lot like a genocide against Jewish people in Israel. Much like eradicating the Palestinian state sounds like a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the west bank, but I’m sure that wasn’t what you meant.

        It has the power and authority, as demonstrated by the Korean war (which happened only because the soviet’s were abstaining and the ROC still having China’s vote . It certainly doesn’t have the desire however.

          Maybe you have context that I don’t, but I’m don’t see how the Korean war demonstrates the UN has the power and authority to initiate a military coup against a member state.

        Genocide is killing people of a certain community, or trying to destroy their culture. Toppling a government or conquering a nation is obviously wrong, but has nothing to do with genocide.
