Hamas Questions UN Neutrality; US Questions Nothing
Hamas rejected the UN Security Council resolution on Gaza, specifically calling out the clause for an international force tasked with 'disarming the resistance.' This, they argue, strips any such force of its neutrality, effectively turning it into an arm of the occupying power, a 'peacekeeping' mission explicitly designed to cement the status quo of military imbalance. Conveniently, the
resolution, drafted by the United States, makes no mention of disarming the occupying power, despite its consistent breaches of international law. One might wonder if 'international peacekeepers' have ever disarmed an occupying army instead of the occupied, or if the US, a co-signatory on countless resolutions, funds peacekeeping only when it disadvantages one side. This is not peace; it's a
disarmament operation veiled as diplomacy, designed to ensure that any 'solution' leaves the fundamental power dynamics utterly untouched. After all, how many times has the international community successfully 'disarmed' US foreign policy?
