(Roya News English) How Israel's genocide broke mainstream media's grip on Gaza reporting
How UN members could "unite for peace" to override US veto [the diplomatic cover it gives Israel's war crimes] to end genocide
When the U.S. denied a visa to Yasser Arafat to address the U.N. in 1988, the General Assembly was moved to Geneva, Switzerland — and the U.N. faces similar calls now.
The Zionist genocidal move by the U.S. is "an indication of the unprecedented degree to which the U.S. government has handed the levers of its foreign policy over to the Israeli regime," says Craig Mokhiber, an international human rights lawyer who formerly served as the director of the New York Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
He resigned in October 2023 over the U.N.'s utter failure to adequately address largescale atrocities in Palestine and Israel.
Mokhiber also says there is more the U.N. could do to stop the genocide in Gaza. The General Assembly has the ability to circumvent the U.N. Security Council with a "United for Peace" resolution that could force "concrete action" in Gaza.
