Well, I can pretty much guarantee one thing -- given the international situation, Russia is gonna veto any action against Iran at the UNSC, so Israel isn't looking for UNSC action in calling for the UNSC to convene.

Countries don't need UNSC signoff to defend themselves, though.

I think that there may be an obligation to notify the UNSC, though, if a country is taking military action in defense of itself or another country with which it has a collective security agreement.

kagis for the UN Charter

Ah, yeah, here it is.

https://www.un.org/en/about-us/un-charter/full-text

Article 51

Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.

So I suppose that it's good odds that that's what this is.

As zionists say, "we'll murder your kids and steal your home, then cry about having to use our bazillion dollar missile shield."

That's my Civilization Ghandi.

(I know that is a bit of a myth yet in this case I think it's topical)

As Jinnah once said, "Lmao I told you we're screwed".

Good thing Biden isn't running anymore.

Bout 80 years actually. The current conflict is settler colonists fighting natives. The religious justification is just that, justification with no history support. Just classic colonization and ethnic cleansing of natives.

What? Mate, it's 1948 the date that the racist colony called Israel was founded on the bones of Palestinians.

Only the Zionists want you to think it's a religious dispute.

Nah you just have to go back to the end of WWII when the the postwar allies decided it was easier to give all the Jews who survived the genocide Palestine. They armed them. Then let them push out the people who had been there for thousands of years out to create their new country. Its continued this entire time. There is a site somewhere that shows how isreal has steadily took over land that wasn't given to them in the original agreement. Further more the document that established the new isreal guaranteed a Palestinian state which isreal has consistently prevented since their inception. All of this information can be found but you can bet isreal tries to suppress that as well. I'm done with isreal. WWII was fought in part to prevent their genocide. Now they are killing on that scale and can't see the hypocrisy in their actions. It must gall them when someone with a Jewish heritage like Bernie Sanders takes action to prevent the US from enabling the genocide they are currently carrying out.

1920s max bruh, this is a colonial issue, especially since it was initially set off by Britain.

There's plenty of documented media of Palestine existing rather normally as a loose collection of cities around the area. Lots of photographs and written logs of people who visited. Population was mostly Muslim and then Christian.

Before Britain, it was simply under control of the Ottoman empire.

It all set off when Britian made it a colony and set off a nationalization movement with the Balfour Declaration. It doesn't matter that it was historically fought over by several civilizations, it's just that GB didn't want to deal with Jews either, and decide shipping them off to a colony was a good idea, since it worked well with Australia.

Zionism was fabricated in 1897.

Both countries are run by fundamentalist religious zealots who are certain they are doing the will of God. Don't underestimate their willingness to turn the entire region to ash.

Zionists have been invading, stealing, and murdering for around 100 years. The plan is to steal much more than just palestine. This requires violent attacks throughout the middle east. It helps that the wider empire has also been attacking iran for oil, etc. since iran overthrew the colonial puppet.

Well for one thing, it's not and is not intended to be an international governing body. What nation would choose to belong to such a thing?

Because otherwise the superpowers have zero incentive to participate at all.
