Francesca Albanese and others say that unseating Israel may be one of the only ways for the UN to stop the genocide.

The UN’s top independent expert on Palestinian human rights has repeated a call for Israel to be removed from its membership in the United Nations, citing its “relentless attacks” against the institution’s top aid group for Palestinian refugees.

These attacks include “damaging 70 percent of UNRWA premises, killing 240+ UN staff, arbitrarily arresting and often torturing countless of UNRWA staff and beneficiaries, hampering/destroying humanitarian aid, killing and maiming [forcibly displaced people] in UN shelters, defaming UNRWA and even outlawing it through Knesset vote, preventing access to UN investigators, etc.,” Albanese pointed out.
