This is our only hope, says Craig Mokhiber former head of the UN in NY, who resigned in disgust at UN leadership inaction on Israel's genocide. Under the "Uniting for Peace" resolution, the UN General Assembly can mandate an armed emergency force to Gaza. The General Assesmbly is not subject to veto. The US cannot stop it. This can work.

On the dangerous antisemitism bill in the NJ State Assembly "The bill would accept the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism, which conflates criticism of the state of Israel and Zionism with antisemitism."

Report: “All communications with the Handala’s crew have been jammed.” The Freedom Flotilla has lost all contact with its ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. “We lost all contact with our crew, and there are multiple drones near the vessel,” it said. “Which means that they could have been intercepted or attacked.”

Report: "Never in my entire military career have I been a part of the use of force against unarmed innocent civilians. Ever. And I’m not going to do it now." “There is no fixing this. Put an end to it.” ~US military veteran deployed 12 times to 4 war zones said he "never saw such violence carried out against unarmed civilians as that by Israeli soldiers & US mercenaries in Gaza."

Remember: The UN General Assembly can act to end Israel's genocide in Gaza... by member states invoking the 1950 UN resolution, "Uniting for Peace", to deploy an armed emergency force to Gaza to put an end to Israel’s starvation & genocide. Uniting for Peace was designed to circumvent Soviet veto during Korean war & it can do the same to the US veto now.

"Failure of leadership at the highest levels of the UN" Those who can "speak with moral authority, galvanise member states, & activate alternative mechanisms like the General Assembly, are largely inactive." "This inaction stems from fear or undue influence, particularly from powerful states & wealthy donors – leading them to shy away from their responsibilities." ~Craig Mokhiber

Report from an American journalist who made it into Gaza: "Israel has rendered Gaza inaccessible to the foreign press, but Afeef Nessouli accessed the Strip by volunteering as an aid worker for a medical nonprofit & reporting in his off-hours." "Commanders explicitly ordered soldiers to shoot unarmed civilians. Massacres were a result of soldiers doing what they were told to do."
