What do they gain by bombing a global organization to which they belong?
I think even smart bombs can be off by fractions of percentage points and then they hit the wrong targets.

Like I said before;
Without observers, the UN cannot observe. It's the same reason why Israel refused to allow UN observers into the West Bank during the last full occupation.
Does it really matter if they are a member as well? Iraq was a member of the UN, but it doesn't mean they got along. The UN has enetered resolutions against Israel several times in the past, so it is not like Israel has a great relationship with them.
