Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No it sends a message that there is no tolerance for you especially trying to mimic the holocaust from ww2 that was the whole origin story to the UN.
But there is some degree of tolerance, and must be for diplomacy to work at all.
"No tolerance" would mean actually taking military action against the Zionist regime, at which point diplomacy has failed and the UN is no longer the correct forum.
Conversely, for the sake of minimising the destruction and loss of lives war causes, there always has to be an option to go back to diplomacy instead. Excluding him from the UN wouldn't make him stop. It would just close off one way out of this horrendous war.
To see what happens to a cornered warlord with nothing left to lose and no option for diplomacy, look to the late stages of WW2: absolute war, massive waste of lives on all sides, missery beyond measure. That is what the UN was created for: to provide at least a chance to reduce human suffering.
That chance must be offered to Netanyahu, not for his sake, but for the sake of all the people that might not have to die for his megalomania. Walking out shows the disdain clearly enough, but it's less definite than walling him off entirely.
No, I fucking wouldn't. I'd call for domestic resistance. I'd call for economic sanctions. I'd call for military intervention. I'd call for all the same things that have been called for both in this case and in the Ukraine invasion. I'd call for all the tools of pressure to make diplomacy the most appealing option.
Besides, that's a false equivalency anyway: Hitler wasn't included in any UN talks either. That didn't stop him, so why do you think shutting out Netanyahu would do so?
The whole international situation was fundamentally different and incomparable. Most obviously, there was no UN. There also wasn't any firm set of alliances that would have issued sanctions or brought a stronger military response once war did break out.
Hitler was ignored, that's why he wasn't stopped.
On the other hand, Hitler didn't have a nuclear power backing him up and forestalling any military response. He also had no "fuck everyone's shit up, because mine is lost anyway" options left.
Netanyahu is protected, that's why he isn't being stopped.
The UN is an attempt to offer diplomacy as a resort because it's better than whatever other last resort they might come up with.
