“It is time to consider suspending the credentials of Israel as a member state of the UN,” she said. “I understand the sensitivity because none of you have clean hands when it comes to human rights.”

She said no other country had defied so many UN resolutions for so long.

There should be sanctions but kicking them out of the UN won't accomplish anything positive. The UN is supposed to be the one place where countries that don't like each other can come to diplomatic agreements to not kill each other.

There are loads of bad countries that piss on human rights in the UN but kicking them out isn't a solution.
