Absolutely.  Needed right now (actually, needed long ago) is
action under Article 7 of the UN Charter imposing a total
economic and military embargo against Israel.  After the
US veto of a Security Council resolution to that effect, the
necessary action can and should be taken by the General
Assembly under the (US-invented) "Uniting For Peace"
resolution.

I'm not holding my breath till then.
