Note by Fazal Rahman
As in case of previous resolutions for ceasefire in Gaza in the UN Security Council, US again vetoed the new Algerian resolution for that. All the other members supported the resolution, with the exception of UK, which abstained. The US ambassador to the UN, a Black woman with white mask ( borrowing Frantz Fanon’s terminology) again engaged in sinister hypocrisy and duplicity in support of her veto. Almost 30,000 Palestinians have been massacred by Israeli genocidal and ethnic cleansing war in Gaza since October 7, 2023 – two-thirds of them women and children – thousands burred under the rubbles, 70,000 wounded, innumerable children orphaned, and whole neighborhoods and cities reduced to rubble. It is indescribably demonic on part of the US to continue to support all that politically, economically, and militarily, and obstruct the ceasefire which will stop further devastations. Ambassadors of many countries, including those of Russia, Palestine, Algeria, and Guyana strongly condemned this new diabolical veto by the US. Nothing surprise me coming from the US. I expect the worst and almost always it happens.
