UN Charade, Actions and more

The most shocking thing at the UN is not what you expect. Netanyahu’s
speech was largely boycotted by most delegates who walked out. He said what
you expect him to say: doubling down on his rhetoric and threatening the
whole world (at one point saying to watch what he does when he returns to
“Israel” in response to the recognition of a state of Palestine).  Donald
Trump spoke, rambling boisterous, dismissive of the world, self centered,
and lying as usual. He said to his stunned silent audience: “I am really
good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell… It is true I have
been right about everything.”  But this was all expected. Also expected
that other western countries, knowing a western-suppored genocide is going
on, try to wiggle out of it by declaring support for a Palestinian state
without Palestinian rights. For example France and England want the state
to lie about history in school textbooks, to deny indigenous people rights
(especially right of return), and most importantly to delegitimize
resistance to colonialism. Mahmoud Abbas whose term expired 15 years ago
gave a UN speech by video after being denied a visa by the US. Instead of
rallying againt the US/Israeli dictats, he tried to reassure them that he
will disarm the resistance etc. In short they all want to support apartheid
but differ on best way forward! The recognition of the “state of Palestine”
is conditional on acceptance of a racist apartheid genocidal regime in the
same was as recognition in apartheid South Africa of the fake Zululand
bantustan! But the situation here is far worse than apartheid in South
Africa. There it was settler coloniaims and here it is DISPLACEMNT and
ETHNIC CLEANSING and GENOCIDE in a scale not seen in the past 100 years.
8.5 million Palestinians are refugees or displaced people. Hardly anyone
making speeches at the UN mentioned this or came close to making the right
diagnosis of what ails us.  But there were notable exceptions such as
Venezuela (hence Trump is bombing it). The reality is that the most
shocking thing at the UN theater of the absurd is the discord between
talking about Israel being isolated while taking no practical steps to stop
this genocidal regime which still exterminating civilians, attacking ships
in International waters, bombing nearby countries, torturing political
prisoners, and starving our people. No UN speech saves a single child. What
is needed is boycotts, divestments and sanctions (bdsmovement.net).

Israel has continued with its modus operandi. A man on a motorcycle is
targeted on a street in Lebanon (claim he is a resistance group member) and
a can next to the motorcycle is destroyed killing a Lebanese American
family visiting their ancestral village. No mistake since AI calculates for
the Israeli military allowable levels of civilian casualties (20) per
resistance fighter https://youtu.be/r5LuadbIsYs

Action (strange that no Arab or Muslim country dares to do what Spain,
Venezuela or Columbia did. Colombia’s “Uniting for Peace” (UfP) resolution
will represent a tangible mechanism to deploy a protective force and end
the genocide.Contact UN representatives in key member states to demand they
publicly commit to supporting the Colombian resolution. Organizers and
influencers must amplify this call. See
