‘Shameful failure’ as US once again vetoes Gaza ceasefire resolution
Omar Rahman, a fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, says UN Security Council members have an “obligation” to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza.
The US wasted no time to outline “the same tired, old propaganda that the Israelis have been using to justify their actions in Gaza”, Rahman told Al Jazeera.
He described the intentional community and the UN Security Council’s inaction as “shameful failure”. The US, he said, stands “completely isolated” in protecting Israel as it continues to veto resolutions related to Gaza, making it complicit.
US is complicit in many ways.
US says UN commission’s finding of genocide in Gaza ‘slanderous’
Morgan Ortagus, deputy US envoy for the Middle East, has responded to a UN commission report earlier this week that for the first time said that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza.
Several UN Security Council members have cited the UN Human Rights Council’s findings in condemning the US veto of today’s ceasefire resolution. The commission had previously found that Israel had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, but stopped short of calling the war a genocide.
“To be clear, we consider this a slanderous report that lacks any credibility. This report presents lies and distortions to the benefit of Hamas,” Ortagus told the Security Council.
She claimed, without providing evidence, that investigators had “bias that are in violation of the United Nations’s own rules of impartiality”.
“This is a clear example of the Human Rights Council’s moral bankruptcy and why the United States ended its participation in this body. It is long overdue that the Commission of Inquiry be eliminated and that its anti-Semitic witch hunt be put to an end,” she said.
Need any more proof the US is nothing but Israel's lackey?
