The UN needs to grow a pair! Where are they? They either urgently reform their systems or wither and die. They have been collectively useless, though many individuals have been doing good things, like Francesca Albanese who has been interviewed tens of times on all different forums. There are a fair few other people and there are now 295 dead UNWRA staff, an unthinkable number and have been subjected to a deliberate attempt, to destroy the agency.

I'm sure this has been mooted already but the structures are designed for the colonial powers to get their way and for most of the world to have very little chance of anything. They need to beef up the UN assembly and give it more power and completely change the security council and get rid of permanent members on it and vetos of it. It is designed to let genocide happen and make it unstoppable. Gutteres has to step up. He is a lovely man but is not good in this particular role. We need someone with balls.
