The resolution has declaratory power only but provides international backing to those countries that want to take additional steps against Israel.

It’s not a decision to obey. It’s just a boring skit they put on once in a while. I feel like the kids’ Model UN has more actual impact on society than the UN and its toothless performative bullshit

I think many will obey the decision, just not the USA, Canada, terf island, the E.U., you know the usual culprits for not following international law.

I think it may be due to the "against" votes coming from the obvious places (Israel, USA) and a bunch of tiny places most people couldn't point in a map.

The "curious" ones for me are Panama and Argentina. Curious as in I wonder what their statements to vote against would be

Removing a country from the UN for doing horrible things would defeat the UN's entire purpose.

Part of any international sanctions is to leave something for the perpetrator to lose.

Otherwise, they can do literally everything without any further consequences whatsoever - it won't get worse for them.

Also, as rightfully mentioned, part of UN's goal is restoring peace between nations, which is harder to do when they are not members. That's the problem with Palestine, and it will get worse if Israel leaves too.

The entire article is utter apologetic trash, doing its absolute best to show how unpopular this decision is (despite being hugely popular) and focusing on "Hamas terrorism concerns" without any consideration at all given to Palestinians.
