Top UN official in New York resigns over inaction on Palestinian Genocide.
It is not antisemitic to be critical of Israel. Governments need to wake up to this fact.
No one ever should be above criticism and scrutiny.
I honestly wonder how people that work the levers of power and support this genocide can sleep at night. Not kidding. How can they be so inhuman
Easy. They're usually wealthy enough to not really care about the concerns of little people.
They just operate on autopilot and do what everyone else is doing because maintaining the status quo maintains their dominance.
Hard to have a conscience when people throw themselves at you just because you have money.
Without knowing much about the UN Human Rights watch, my friends and I used to laugh how utterly useless they were at stopping genocides and how its just a tool to make the imperialists "seem" nice when they do a little pause on the murder machine.
This. This, however just makes me utterly heartbroken.
On one hand, I get why resigning really makes your opinion known and gets the point across.
On the other hand, if everyone with a conscience resigns, then what’s left? This basically just makes it certain that atrocities like this will continue.
I imagine a lot of people at the UN are having a "can't fight city hall" moment right now: seeing Palestinian genocide take place, but being powerless to do anything about it, and feeling the guilt and complicity involved with the UN refusing to go against the US's wishes.
They, of course, have plenty of power if they actually tried to use it their own way.
This long-term facilitator of power could simply contact the media and start making waves themselves and could join the protests doing their own social media campaign, etc. Basically, make them fire them for doing what their job supposedly does and suggesting an alternative.
This person is just saying, "that's enough for me" and bolting, presumably to go retire.
Yeah. I think it makes more sense to take the republican approach and do your best to destroy the system from the inside.
This just makes it easier to replace you with someone who is okay with the status quo.
The façade of United Nations' control on world matters is starting to fall off. Glad to see.
Edit: grapheneOS trolls are downvoting every single post and comment of mine, and committing vote manipulation on Lemmy. They are using 5-6 accounts.
The UN has never had any control over any country. It has has only ever been designated a talking shop where countries can get an understanding of each other. They may have voted a consensus on decisions, but that is by agreement not enforcement. If we had a body that could dictate morality to any country, then we would not need any country with a military.
Has it ever been a facade?
Pretty sure the UN has always been seen as a limp-dick entity that only exists so nations can talk and the Security Council can do what it wants.
