A summit to nowhere

After silently watching Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza for the past one year, the leaders of the Arab and Muslim countries have once more met in Riyadh to discuss the escalating conflict.

The so-called international alliance conceived by Saudi Arabia, with its aim of pressing for the establishment of a Palestinian state, failed to formulate a concrete plan of action to stop the Israeli invasion that has been extended to Lebanon.

Resolution Issued by the Extraordinary Arab and Islamic Summit

18- To start working to mobilize international support to suspend Israel‘s participation in the United Nations General Assembly and all its affiliated entities, in preparation for submitting a joint draft resolution to the General Assembly – the tenth special session (Uniting for Peace), on the basis of its violations of the United Nations Charter, its threat to international peace and security, and its failure to fulfill its membership in the United Nations and based on the advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice on July 19, 2024.

19- To call on all countries to ban the export or transfer of weapons and ammunition to Israel; urging countries to join the initiative proposed by the Republic of Turkey and the core group consisting of (18) countries, which was signed by (52) countries, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the League of Arab States, and to send a joint letter to the UN Security Council, the President of the UN General Assembly and the UN Secretary-General to halt the provision of arms to Israel, and to invite all countries to sign it.

He reminded the attendees that, despite ongoing regional conflicts, the UN has never revisited Israel‘s 1949 admission under Resolution 181.

“Today, the Islamic group and the Arab group are two organisations moving before the international community, and I am confident that there are many countries that will support the idea of freezing membership,” he added expressing optimism that the proposal would garner widespread backing.

He pointed out that Israel‘s initial admission to the UN in 1949 had been under Resolution 181, a decision that many now view as overdue for reconsideration.

Arab League to appeal for Gaza ‚no-fly zone‘

(April 10, 2011)

The Arab League request for a no-fly zone over Gaza may have been inspired by a UN-sanctioned aerial blockade for Libya to halt forces loyal to Moamer Kadhafi harming civilians.

Arab League backing for that no-fly zone was seen as crucially important by the United States when it pressed for a UN resolution that authorised it and other countries to keep Libyan planes grounded.

Palästina und die Unabhängigkeit: Eine unnötige Verzögerung

(30. Dezember 2014)

Es ist die alte Regel des Imperialismus und seiner sadistischen Handlanger: Wenn Du schon verloren hast, quatsch Deinen Gegner zu und organisiere, dass dieser sich selbst ermordet, ruiniert, zerstört, oder zumindest seine Chancen, Vorteile und Talente. Genau das geschieht seit Jahren mit den europäischen Demokratien. Genau das geschieht heute Nacht (1, 2) im Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen mit Palästina.

Die Resolution, die Mahmud Abbas und die “Palästinensische Befreiungsorganisation” nicht selbst in den Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen einbringen konnten und sich daher an die Monarchie Jordanien wandten, ist gut. Sie ist, im Vergleich zur Resolution der P.L.O. vom 17. Dezember, sogar noch verbessert wurden. Ostjerusalem wurde eben nicht verraten und verkauft. Im Gegenteil, die Resolution beinhaltet im Entscheidungstext (“decides”) unter Punkt 2:

“eine gerechte Lösung des Status von Jerusalem als der Hauptstadt der zwei Staaten, die die legitimen Anliegen beider Parteien erfüllt und die Freiheit des Betens beschützt.”

Angekündigt wurde diese Resolution von Mahmud Abbas bereits vor fast einem halben Jahr, in seiner Rede am 26. September in der Allgemeinen Versammlung der Vereinten Nationen. Abbas damals wörtlich:

“Während der letzten zwei Wochen, unterhielten Palästina (Anm.: Abbas Autonomiebehörde) und die Arabische Gruppe intensive Kontakte mit den verschiedenen regionalen Gruppen in den Vereinten Nationen, um die Einbringung eines Resolutionsentwurfs bezüglich des israelisch-palästinensischen Konflikts für dessen Annahme durch den Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen vorzubereiten und die Bemühungen um Frieden voranzutreiben.”

Nur zur Erinnerung: das war mitten in einem durch die Regierung Israels angerichteten Massaker im aufständischen Teil Palästinas, dem Gazastreifen, in das zum wiederholten Male Bodentruppen der Kolonialmacht Israel versuchten einzumarschieren, in Absprache mit den Regierungen in Berlin und Washington bezüglich einer “Demilitarisierung” des Gazastreifens und dem damit verbundenen absehbaren Versuch deutsche “Inspektoren” als Besatzungsmacht einzubinden.

Das war vor einem halben Jahr.

Seitdem passierte durch Abbas Behörde und die P.L.O. hinsichtlich der Resolution gar nichts, außer das in regelmäßigen Abständen immer wieder behauptet wurde, jaja, jetzt aber. Jetzt aber.

Jetzt werde man die Unabhängigkeits-Resolution in den Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen einbringen. Bloß 36 Jahre nach der eigenen Unabhängigkeitserklärung. Nur noch ein halbes Jahr lang schwätzen. Bloß noch ein halbes Jahr.

Am 17. Dezember stellt die P.L.O. ihre Resolution vor und versteckte diese auf ihrer Webseite so gut es ging. Ich fand sie erst Tage später. Meines Wissens nach verlinkte kein einziges palästinensisches Portal die Resolution oder verwies auch nur darauf, auch nicht die palästinensische Nachrichtenagentur WAFA.

Als stattdessen Mahmud Abbas schon wieder vor der Presse auftauchte und irgendetwas als Begleitmusik zu seinem Nichtstun erzählte, schrieb ich dazu am 21. Dezember des Jahres 2014 in Kurzform meine Meinung. Als es dann nach Weihnachten am 29. Dezember endlich hieß, die palästinensische Resolution werde nun tatsächlich in den Sicherheitsrat eingebracht, zum Erstaunen “westlicher Dipomaten”, dachte ich, na endlich. Jetzt kann´s losgehen.

Nur zur Erklärung: Einbringen heisst nicht abstimmen. Gerade wenn drei Tage später am 1. Januar 2015 fünf Staaten neues Mitglied im U.N.O.-Sicherheitsrat werden, von denen vier – Angola, Venezuela, Spanien und Malaysien – Palästina wahrscheinlich ihre Stimme geben würden und die Chancen auf einen Sieg damit erheblich steigen. Die palästinensische Unabhängigkeits-Resolution, die durch Annahme im U.N.O.-Sicherheitsrat völkerrechtlich verbindlich und rechtsgültig wäre, braucht 9 Stimmen von 15 Mitgliedern.

Ich hatte bereits während des Putsches in der Ukraine und des anschließenden Aufbaus der Neurussland-Falle den Eindruck, als lese nur eine Klientel meine Artikel tatsächlich und sorge

“umgehend dafür, dass genau das Gegenteil von dem geschah was ich in diesen mit aller Bescheidenheit empfohlen hatte.”

Ich sehe, genau jetzt, diese Sadisten und Faschisten im seit Ausbruch des Terrorkrieges in 2001 mit Geld, Macht und Spielzeugen für Kranke vollgelaufenen “Sicherheits”-Apparat vor mir, auch in Jerusalem, auch in New York, wie sie versuchen die Palästinenser – neben den Kurden das Volk was noch immer für deren geostrategische Spielchen hergehalten und gelitten hat – ein weiteres Mal auf das Dreckigste zu betrügen………

Ever since then-PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, infamously carrying a pistol, spoke at the UN in 1974, the Palestinian situation has not significantly changed. In fact, as the situation in Gaza attests, it has only gotten worse – despite the PA winning vote after vote in the UN General Assembly.

If the Palestinians had spent the same energy over the past half-century building up the areas under their control in the West Bank and Gaza rather than demonizing Israel on the world stage, their situation today would be markedly different and much better.

After more than five months of war in Gaza, the UN Security Council for the first time on Monday, March 25, demanded an immediate ceasefire after the United States, Israel‘s ally which vetoed previous draft resolutions, abstained. Drawing unusual applause in the often staid Security Council, all 14 other members voted in favor of the resolution which „demands an immediate ceasefire“ for the ongoing Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

US abstains on UN vote, allowing Gaza aid resolution to pass

The resolution, sponsored by Arab states, called for a major increase in aid to desperate civilians in the Gaza Strip, dropping calls from an earlier version for a suspension of hostilities.

The U.S. did not vote in favor of the resolution, but rather abstained, allowing it to pass. As a permanent member of the council, the U.S. has veto power, and a “no” vote would have killed the measure.

Palestinians hope a vote in the UN General Assembly will show wide support for a Gaza cease-fire

The Palestinians are hoping that a vote Tuesday in the U.N. General Assembly on a nonbinding resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire will demonstrate widespread global support for ending the Israel-Hamas war, now in its third month.

After the United States vetoed a resolution in the Security Council on Friday demanding a humanitarian cease-fire, Arab and Islamic nations called for an emergency session of the 193-member General Assembly on Tuesday afternoon to vote on a resolution making the same demand.

MSF calls US veto of Gaza ceasefire resolution “a vote against humanity”

Avril Benoît, executive director of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) USA gave the following statement:

“As bombs continue to rain down on Palestinian civilians and cause widespread destruction, the US has once again used its power to block an attempt by the UN Security Council to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. By vetoing this resolution, the US stands alone in casting its vote against humanity.

The US veto stands in sharp contrast to the values it professes to uphold. By continuing to provide diplomatic cover for the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, the US is signaling that international humanitarian law can be applied selectively—and that the lives of some people matter less than the lives of others.

Replying to @POTUS Today’s US veto against the UN’s resolution for an immediate cease fire in Gaza, made crystal clear your direct culpability in this genocide. And as such, I will for the first time as life long Democrat do everything in my power to ensure you will not be re-elected.

The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting Friday morning New York time to discuss the catastrophic situation in Gaza. This follows Wednesday’s urgent letter by Secretary-General António Guterres – one of the most powerful tools at his disposal – urging the body to help end carnage in the war-battered enclave through a lasting humanitarian ceasefire. A resolution tabled late afternoon in the chamber calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire was vetoed by the United States.
