#Gaza / The UN Can’t Stop Gaza From Being a Hostage to American Power
The United Nations has consistently failed to uphold the rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people, a failure that can be traced back to the ill-conceived and biased recommendations of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (#UNSCOP) in 1947. This pattern of neglect and prioritization of Western interests over Palestinian self-determination has been a constant throughout the UN's history, reflecting a fundamental disregard for the organization's own charter and principles.

Evidence of that was in ample supply in the week following the resolution’s passage. As the bloody assault on Gaza continued, the Biden administration approved yet another transfer of “bunker-busting” bombs to Israel—all while acknowledging that hunger among Gazans has reached a tipping point. A recent report showed that mass starvation is “imminent” and that Gaza has more people at the highest risk for starvation than Somalia had at the peak of its 1992 famine.
