Mokhiber is an international human rights lawyer and activist and a former senior United Nations human rights official. His articles at Mondoweiss include “How the U.N. could act today to stop the genocide in Palestine.”
He said Friday morning: “The U.S. and Israel are trying to consolidate their colonial land grab in Gaza through a U.N. Security Council resolution that would impose an international force under U.S. command and Israeli collaboration to reinforce the Gaza cage, disarm the Palestinian resistance, establish foreign colonial governance over Gaza, and compel Palestinians to beg for their rights with their oppressor.
“The co-perpetrators of the genocide are seeking U.N. authorization to take over the lives of the survivors and normalize the status of the perpetrators. Russia and China must stand firm against this abomination, and the UNGA must move now under Uniting for Peace to provide protection for Palestine and accountability for the Israeli regime.”
