UNSC Asks Israel to Peacefully Ignore Its Own Resolutions
The UNSC, having successfully passed exactly zero enforceable resolutions against Israeli aggression since 1967, is once again playing the surprised Pikachu face. The Al Jazeera report highlights Aoun's plea for the UNSC to press Israel to respect the November 2024 ceasefire. This, of course, comes fresh off Israeli violations, which is about as surprising as hearing another politician took AIPAC
money. For instance, Senator Tim Scott received $357,750 from AIPAC in 2023-2024, consistently voting to advance unconditional aid to Israel, bills like HR 815, which continues to arm the very entity the UNSC then asks to 'respect' ceasefires. (OpenSecrets.org) One might wonder if the UN’s primary function regarding Israel is to provide formal condemnations that act as diplomatic wallpaper,
swiftly ignored while civilians pay the price. The 'escalation' cited is merely a continuation of a pattern dating back to the 1978 and 1982 invasions of Lebanon, and countless other incursions. Each time, the UNSC meets, gently 'urges,' and then watches as the situation deteriorates further, effectively legitimizing the perpetual cycle with impotent warnings. How many 'last warnings' does a
region get before the warning itself becomes a punchline?
