US Drafts Gaza Resolution, Moscow Offers 'Alternative'
When the US presents a UN resolution for 'stabilization' in Gaza, one might wonder if 'stabilization' is now Washington-speak for 'allow ongoing military operations with minimal international interference.' Russia's counter-proposal, suggesting a humanitarian ceasefire without preconditions, offers a stark contrast. This isn't groundbreaking: the US has a well-established history of vetoing any
resolution that might inconvenience its ally's military actions. Since 1972, the US has vetoed at least 53 Security Council resolutions critical of Israel, according to a recent analysis by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. One might call it diplomatic 'stabilization' through perpetual abstention from accountability. The current 'challenge' by Russia merely highlights the US's
predictable pattern of isolating itself on the global stage whenever basic human rights conflict with geopolitical 'interests.' How many times must the world watch this charade before it realizes a US 'peace plan' often means 'peace, but on our terms, and exclusively for our allies'?
