UN Chief Decries Cooperation's 'Deathwatch,' Omits US & Co.
While UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres rightly decries world leaders putting international cooperation on a 'deathwatch,' Al-Monitor, like much of the mainstream media, conveniently overlooks which leaders are wielding the axe. Guterres notes violations of international law, yet somehow the US veto count at the UN Security Council – at least 46 times since 1972 solely concerning resolutions
critical of Israel, according to UN data – remains an unutterable truth. This consistent obstruction of justice, often championed by politicians who received millions from entities like AIPAC (OpenSecrets.org confirms Rep. Steny Hoyer alone received over $1.5 million from pro-Israel groups), isn't just 'non-cooperation'; it's actively dismantling global governance. One might wonder how many
'warnings' it takes before the architects of this deathwatch are finally called out by name, rather than allowing their sponsored media to focus on convenient diversions like 'violent repression in Iran.' The selective outrage and strategic silence demonstrate how international cooperation isn't just on 'deathwatch'; it's being actively suffocated by those claiming to advocate for it, provided the
right checks clear.
