    They have a long way to go on anti corruption and human rights before they deserve membership.

    What about China? Myanmar? Venezuela? Tons of others. This is clearly not a requirement.

    https://www.un.org/en/about-us/un-charter/chapter-2

    Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations.

    Literally would be possible if not for the US’s veto.

    They shouldn’t die because of tunnels. They should evacuate and get somewhere there isn’t tunnels.

    Aren’t there tunnels basically all over? And how the hell would they know where there aren’t tunnels? Leave your home and go to the middle of nowhere amidst constant bombing and chaos with thousands of others so Israel can bomb it’s way down to subterranean tunnels?

    “Your apartment block has been marked for destruction, please climb over the bodies of your neighbours and calmly make your way to the designated safe zone… by which we mean the zone that is probably safe for now”

    Some dystopian shit right there. Everyone went to Rafah and now look

      The UN could not have existed at all without its charter members coming together for the future of the world.

      Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations.

      Seems clear to me they aren’t ready. Excise Hamas from the West Bank, excise Iranian corruption, stop the rocket attacks, destroy the tunnels, and then talk about the West Bank and the PA’s willingness to carry out it’s obligations. Can’t have their cake and eat it too.
