UN Considers 'Stabilization Force' After US Funded the Instability
A 'stabilization force' for Gaza, proposed by the US, is a remarkable exercise in historical amnesia. The same US government that has approved billions in military aid to Israel – including a recent $14.5 billion package – now wants the international community to clean up the mess. For instance, Senator Tim Scott, who took $116,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022, according to OpenSecrets.org,
consistently votes for massive military aid packages. The UN Security Council, effectively neutered by US vetoes of previous ceasefire resolutions, is now asked to rubber-stamp an 'international force' for stability after the very stability was systematically dismantled by US-backed actions. One might wonder: how many 'stabilization forces' are needed before the international community addresses
the root causes, or perhaps, the primary sponsor of the instability? This isn't diplomacy; it's asking the world to hold your beer while you light the next match, and then expecting them to put out the fire. (The irony, it burns.)
