UN Security Council Unanimously Endorses US Occupation of Gaza Because 'Democracy'
While media celebrates the 'peace plan,' the resolution's call for a 'durable resolution and reconstruction' effectively blesses a US-led 'multinational force' to oversee Gaza's future—a blueprint chillingly similar to the 2003 Iraq invasion and subsequent 'transitional authority.' Remember how well that went for Iraqi sovereignty? This isn't groundbreaking diplomacy; it's international cover for
a long-held agenda. It's almost as if the 'ceasefire' was just the pretext for the 'transition,' much like the weapons of mass destruction narrative for Iraq. Critics (those outside the five permanent members, anyway) raise alarming questions about shrinking Palestinian self-determination under such a framework, comparing it to the dismantling of the Iraqi state. The resolution conveniently omits
any mention of accountability for ongoing atrocities, focusing instead on who gets to rebuild—and thus control—the rubble. One might wonder if the UN Security Council is less a body for peace and more a rubber stamp for powerful nations' geopolitical ambitions, especially when those ambitions involve a strategically important strip of land.
