Israel Gunning For UNRWA

Israel has long had the United Nations in their sights, literally sometimes as witnessed recently, but Israel has been gunning for the United Nations for decades as the folder of resolutions against it has burgeoned, most notably the Resolution 242 which assert that Israel must withdrawal its forces from the occupied Palestinian territories.
Another one is UN Resolution 2334 which condemned 'all measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the Palestinian Territory' which calls for the ending of the land grab and the building of settlements on occupied land.
A number of recent incidents reveal the poor regard the United Nations is held in Israel, the attack on United Nation outposts i Lebanon and the demand that they leave the country they are attacking and yesterdays vote to ban UNRWA which delivers aid to Palestinians having failed to convince the major donors to the organisation with their non-existent flimsy evidence that it is packed with Hamas operatives.  
Following the refusal to allow UNRWA to operate in Gaza and threatening the lives of the Palestinian population, the UN are now considering sanctions on Israeli government members, a review of trade ties and a fresh reference to the International Court of Justice which has already ruled that Israel is performing 'what comes under the banner of Genocide'.
Israel’s ban of the UNRWA will leave already starving Palestinians without a lifeline and the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, has said banning the UNRWA would be a catastrophe in what is already an unmitigated disaster and Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea and the UK have issued a joint statement condemning the ban and America, which has been Israels financial and military backer during this genocide and the previous ones, are being reminded by thir own Government agencies that their own laws requires that it stop weapons transfers to any country that obstructs the delivery of U.S. humanitarian aid.
The Unicef spokesperson, James Elder, said today that by stopping the the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency, 'it’ll likely see the collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza' buit that has long been Israel's plan, to make Palestine unlivable, shift the inhabitants elsewhere and claim the land.
Israel is fast becoming the Pariah in International relations and while the United Nations has an array of weapons it can use against Israel, sanctions along the lines of South Africa in the 80s and 90s must be installed by the countries of the World so Israel cannot literally, get away with murder.
