Maybe UN could help Kamala differentiate between war and genocide in Gaza

 

Maybe UN could help Kamala differentiate between war and genocide in Gaza
 
 
During her campaign for president, Kamala Harris has been loath to comment on the ongoing 13 month Israeli genocide in Gaza. But when interviewers or protesters raise the genocide issue, Harris is quick to say she’s ‘doing everything I can to achieve a ceasefire in the ‘Gaza war.’
Bunk. She fully supports her boss sending over 50,000 tons of death weapons to obliterate any semblance of life in Gaza’s mere 139 square miles. Schools, universities, hospitals, water and sewerage facilities, most housing gone. She calls that weaponry ‘self-defense in Israel’s war against Hamas.’ She promises to continue her boss’s genocide policies in Gaza if she becomes president, tho she’s erased the G word from her vocabulary and moral conscience.
 
 
Sure would be helpful if Kamala would peruse the new UN report titled Genocide as colonial erasure,” detailing how Israel seeks to “eradicate the very existence of the Palestinian people in Palestine. This genocidal project, is now metastasizing to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.”
The report was issued by Francesca Albanese, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. Albanese makes an urgent appeal to the international community to impose a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel until the genocide of Palestinians is halted. She calls on Israel to accept a permanent ceasefire. She demands that Israel, as required by international law and U.N. resolutions, withdraw its military and colonists from Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
 
 
Albanese seeks reactivation of UN’s Special Committee Against Apartheid to address the situation in Palestine including possible suspension of Israel’s membership in the U.N.
Her report doesn’t’ just charge Israel with genocide. It reveals it in excruciating bloody detail. One of the most ghoulish is Israel’s forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into 3 safe zones, but once there begins attacking them and demanding they move to new safe zones. That’s a death march that dwarfs the Japanese Death March of US POW’s on Bataan in WWII.
 
 
Last May Israel invaded Rafah, driving nearly a million Palestinians into uninhabitable wastelands of raw sewage, rotting bodies and endless rubble.
 
 
Over 90% of Gaza’s 2,300,000 Palestinians have been displaced under “horrendous conditions.”
The report details nearly a hundred Israeli massacres.
 
 
The report describes how Israel uses “indiscriminate aerial and sniper fire”to repeatedly attack critical aid distribution sites, tent encampments, hospitals and markets.
 
 
Hundreds of aid workers and journalists have been murdered to keep aid from starving, sick Palestinians and keeping the genocide out of public view.
 
 
There’s more, much more in the UN report that Kamala should read before she makes another grotesque pledge to keep arming Israel with the weapons she terms merely defense after she enters the White House.
 
 
Of course, at the rate US weaponry, UN vetoes protecting Israeli genocide, and endless proclamations of total Israeli support, all 2,300,000 Palestinians in Gaza may be dead and gone by the time a President Harris is inaugurated next January 20.
