What it does establish though is the possibility of action to be taken in the future. If found culpable then those giving orders in the Israeli government should be taken to task.

Of course the UN is biased.

Oct 7th was a genocidal act.

Anyone who criticises Netanyahu's actions is biased.

On 11 May 1949, the General Assembly by the requisite two-thirds majority approved the application to admit Israel to the UN by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 273. The vote in the General Assembly was 37 to 12, with 9 abstentions.

But on the substantive point, Netanyahu is a bad egg and his eventual come uppance will be an interesting event.
