UN Official Calls it Genocide; US Calls it 'Vetoable'
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese presented her damning report to the UNGA, unequivocally stating there are 'reasonable grounds' to believe an Israeli genocide is underway in Gaza. This isn't groundbreaking news to the millions watching livestreams of demolished hospitals and starving children. Yet, mainstream US media often frames such findings as 'controversial' or 'disputed,' effectively
neutralizing any real accountability. Instead of addressing the report's substance—which details deliberate destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure and targeting of civilians—Washington quickly pivots to defending Israel's 'right to defend itself,' glossing over the fact that international law doesn't grant states permission for genocide. One might wonder, how many UN reports does it take
before 'reasonable grounds' stop being 'politicized' and start being, well, genocidal?
