Ex-U.N. Official Craig Mokhiber: Israel Must Be Held Accountable for Violating Ceasefire Resolution
Support our work: www.democracynow.org/donate?c...
We speak with former top U.N. human rights official Craig Mokhiber after the Security Council voted Monday on a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all remaining hostages. The United States abstained from the vote, allowing it to pass after nearly six months of obstructing similar efforts at the Security Council. Mokhiber, who resigned in October over the U.N.'s failure to address rights violations in Israel-Palestine, says “Israel has the world record” for violating U.N. resolutions and is certain to violate this ceasefire resolution, as well, even though it expressed “the very broad consensus across the global community against Israel's onslaught on Gaza.” Israel continued bombing Gaza after Monday’s vote, and top Israeli leaders have vowed to continue the war that has killed over 32,000 Palestinians so far. “What this genocide has done is it has revealed the weaknesses, the political compromises, the moral failings of the United Nations and other international institutions,” says Mokhiber, who adds that continued pressure from civil society is needed to end the bloodshed.

And shr stated "i think there's something there" further more she stated so much shit going on in the world and it gets totally ignored by the u.n... Translation this woman was smart enough to realise a pattern that Israel is signaled out and chased... Bro we both know if Israel was a muslim country no one would give a shit what happens to Palestinans... Just like no one cares about Palestinans being suppresses by the hamas or by the Palestinan authority... Fun fact, you wont be able to name me a single arabic country that gives Thier citizens the rights and freedom Israeli arabs get in israel... And the most ridiculous thing is the countries who demonize Israel in the u.n are countries who are infamous in thier human rights violations... What countries or what bodies exactly?! The Palestinans authority? A corrupt oligarchy? That suppress it's citizens? Let's see mismanagement of funds, postponed elections because the chairman was down at the poles. The killing of nizar Banat a Palestinan political activist, just because of his criticism of the ongoing corruption of the Palestinan authority. A corrupt oligarchy that uses funds to promote terrorism by salaries to people in order to murder jews... yes exactly... Palestinans who murdered jews where payed salaries by the Palestinan authority... Syria? Are you aware a few years back mister Assad bombed a mosque with Palestinans inside it? That he starved the 10000 Palestine refugee camp in Syria. Yet when Israel defends itself he condemns Israel and he pretends he cares for Palestinans... A mass murderer condemn people for protecting thier right to exist... What other countries? Cuba? Venezuela? Afghanistan? Iran? This are the countries you rely on? The u.n has become Hitler's wet dream. Yes yes let's demonize them Jews... The u.n should be dissolved... It's a good for nothing do nothing organization.

Zahir Muhsein was a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria As-Sa'iqa Ba'athist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization between 1971 and 1979. In an interview with Trouw Magazine, 31. March 1977 he stated....."The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity.
Why does Israles terror on the Palestinian civilian people continue? Why doesn't this have consequences??? What is going on here????

Poor Palestinians terrorists.

I am concerned that when this is over all the blame will be pushed onto Netenyahu. He will resign, or lose the election, and that will be the end of it. When so many people in Israel supported these illegal actions and gladly carried them out. It's not just about one man and his criminal government. There is far too much blame to go around.
That is why it is important to hold the ZioNOT-Z regime accountable and not just one war criminal.
When polled, 98% of Israelis supported the genocide. Some even called for more
Yes and Biden, blinken, Austin, kirby, Sunak, Trudeu, German Chancellor and all those who lied, defended and provided arms to isnreal
How about holding Hamas responsible?
Always remember that Zionism is an ideology of lies, deceit, theft, death, and destruction. Never underestimate the evilness of Zionism.
When the US representative says hostages must be released she is not talking about all hostages. She is only referring to the hostages held by Hamas and not the thousands of hostages held in Israeli prisons.
Including 400 CHILDREN!!
Of course, this is making me sad... Both parties are harming each other. In some way, GENUINE PEACE must take place as soon as possible, PEACE IS A VERB.
@dinparo8044 One is an occupying force with superior military power and nuclear weapons. One is filled with refugees that have lived in a concentration camp since 1948 Without human rights. There's no comparison. This isn't a both sides thing.
The definition of hostages is different from tried criminals. Even here in the US.
Thousands of Palestinians are in jail for no reason without being tried, or even arraigned. They are not criminals. They are hostages.
I hope people around the world have the opportunity to listen to Craig... and finally do right by the innocents still being targeted and displaced. Netanyahu is a deceitful, heartless sociopath and his enablers are just as bad.
Defending a lie disturbs the soul and it is evident throughout the Isreali society Defending a lie breeds evil

It annoys me how they use the hostage situation when they actually don't care about the hostages. They think people are stupid 😂
They've also taken over 7,700 Palestinians Hostage since 7/10 & many that were released after least exchange were rearrested soon after😡, They are like a Satanic Cult & cannot be trusted!
Hamas doesn't care about the hostages, Israel does. Who the hell are you to say Israel doesn't care about their hostages? They care about their hostage over 20 times as much as the Palestinians in the exchange offer of 20 poisoners for 1 innocent hostage.
Israel holds more hostages than Hamas. Children are being held in prisons. 31,000 dead, no more hostages released, and Hamas not destroyed. Its clearly not working is it? We need a completely different approach now.
Exactly my thoughts from the beginning. They think we are stupid. They doing all this for the citizens is b.s.
Who is they in your statement ? Hamas ? Israel or someone else ?

When I was in grammar school back in the 60s we took a trip the United Nations on a class trip… boy were we ever sold a bill of goods. Seems to me at all boils down to the US cutting off all aid to Israel to be the only viable solution and the rest of it is just theater.
Bingo, the US has been the primary enforcer of any decision in the UN. So if the US chooses not to act it ain’t happening. It’s been that way from the start of the UN. What country wants to send troops in the middle of this mess? No one including the US. Who wants to step into the middle of a brawl ?
The only reason the UN was set up was to create Israel.
SCHAME EN UNITED STATE
How can 350,000 Americans and 9 million Israel Jews defy a UNSC resolution and suffer no consequences?
"The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?" ~ Bertrand Russell
How did Britain have this authority ? Pretty arrogant move.

Wrong. Israel filed and Arabs got mad and DUD NOT. Send them home to Egypt and Jordan, then they'll be safe. It is not or ever a state. It is a region
Palestine didn’t become a country until 1988 and even that declaration is questionable. What country are you talking about that was given away?
Wasn't their land to begin with, historically speaking. Stop making excuses.
Every member of the UN should threaten to walk out of the UN if the United States persists in its abuse of the Veto.

wtf icj is doing after the January ruling
I myself am wondering the same.
They are hopefully working on their cases. They are not the ones who enforce rulings. The security council is. They are to blame.
They referred the matter to the UN Security Council and the USA vetoed action. Try to keep up.
@@ronstephen-wy4ib uSA is such a thug
@@ronstephen-wy4ib thanks. I was wondering the same thing. They gave Israel a month probation basically and that month ended. Israel didn't seem to comply. Did they make a ruling on it?
CRAIG MOKHIBER is like an endless well of data, information, and knowledge!! Blessings upon him always!!
How many vetoes are the USA allowed to use per a year? Is there no limit? If so then the UN needs to change it’s rules and make a limit to any of the vetoing countries so they don’t abuse the power of the veto.
Stupid who put them in power in a first place
The same number as Russia and China who vetoed/overrode the US resolution saying the same thing just because they can.
. It seemed to be a very weak resolution that did little to help Gaza
Any attempt to change the rules would be vetoed. So be realistic that’s not going to happen. All the permanent members take advantage of this as Russia does with Ukraine.
@@gabriellazar4133 After WW2 the victorious allies defined the rules at the inception of the UN.

If you don't stand up and do something soon the Zionists will have the entire world hating ALL Jews.
I don't care what anyone's religion is so long as they don't push it on others but if I have to hate Jewish people in order to be against genocide then I am willing to learn.

The best analysis I've heard so far .Craig Mockiber is one of the most informed and explicit with his words .
If the UN does not enforce its resolution then the time for the UN has passed because it has shown itself to be an impotent organ.
We at the very least need to get them off of US land
Enforce it how exactly? The UN says crap all the time and gets ignored
@@danielpeters2282this is at the security council, unlike the general one and the U.S lie, it is binding and forces are required to intervene if the resolution is not respected. But yeah I don't expect them to do something. It's up for us to use this as further pressure to push for an immediate arms embargo.
@@shamsseif6909 The UN does not have an army or police force . A country can choose to use its own military. Which country wants to step into this mess ? No one ! The concept the UN has power to order any sovereign country is just not there. Nor could it be !
There are several UN resolutions against Turkey for illegally occupying north Cyprus for 50 years, but nothing was done either. The best you can expect is sanctioning Israel and stop providing it with weapons and money. If USA can be forced to abstain from interfering then perhaps the local countries can form a coalition and threaten Israel with war if they don't comply. Like with the old Gulf War coalition. I seriously doubt this will happen sadly.

A valid question would be: when has any US Ambassador EVER been right?
That stupid excuse. The hostages, my foot!

You wouldn't say that if you or a family member were a hostage.
Stupidest reply in this thread.
You are right. The Israeli hostages are more innocents and of course they need to be freed and back with their families. But that's not what Netanyahu wants. To him they are collateral damage, its just a fact. This man has an agenda...to steal all the land, the get rid of all Palestinians, get his hands on all the gas and oil under Gaza and fly the Zionist flag! No one is allowed to get in his way, not the hostages, not women, not children, not doctors, not journalists, nit the US, not the UK...not the World! Thus is the mindset we are dealing with.

Why are un Peacekeeping forces not deployed??
The United Nations itself actually has no troops,.it maintains no standing military force of its own. Those "peace keeper" soldiers in Blue Helmets youve seen are military and police ( as well as civil engineers ) sent by other countries and given "operational control" by the UN to function in that "peace keeper" role during said deployment. As an examples,.France and or Spain, Italy Canada and the US or other countries would have to volunteer a portion of their militaries and have the UN give them Blue helmets and then deploy them as peace keepers between Israeli forces and Palestine. Want to volunteer?

Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad, aired by Al-Hekma TV on March 23, 2012. Stated..... .....we all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian, in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots - whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. We have blood ties. Personally, half my family is Egyptian. We are all like that. More than 30 families in the Gaza Strip are called Al-Masri ["Egyptian"]. Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs. Salma Fayumi, a resident of Kafr Qasim (Palestin/Israel), demonstrated her cooking prowess on the show "Master Chef." Fayumi proudly showed off her Kushari dish that she prepared, "Egyptian cuisine made of rice and lentil." "My family came from Egypt, from Faiyum, and I am Salma Fayumi from Faiyum," the cook from Kafr Qasim said. If Palestine were an Arab state, at any point in recorded history, why was there no mention of them? Because there never was an Arab Palestinian nation, nor any nation called Palestine, ever. When the Ottomans conquered the land in 1517, they gave no independent statehood under Arab rule, but held Palestine as a territory.

@@marcosgoldenvoice Then that is no good. Why would Hammas release all the hostages and after two weeks the violence and bombing starts. Might as not have a ceasefire
@@dilipshah5882It doesn't matter whether hostages are released or not. Isnreal is only interested in taking gaza.
You have a point. And this ties up with the fact Israel lowered security even after two nations had warned that an attack is imminent and one was it's daddy
Nice Craig's back
I ❤ Humus Before you condemn Humus, you have to condemn the occupation. If there were no occupation, there would have been no October 7 United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379, Adopted on 10 November 1975 "Determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination"
Never underestimate the evilness of Zionism.
Jesus. There is no occupation. This land was lost when Israel’S Neighbors attacked it and lost the wars. Is the western US occupied territory since the Mexican war? How come their former countries won’t take them in????
The UN created Israel 😂😂😂😂
@@danielpeters2282 Indeed! This is the real tragedy
@@danielpeters2282Read a bible. Israel has always been a nation. Never been a Palestinian state.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for this important informations !!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm just wondering if Israel does stop the War against Hamas seance the UN told them to cease fire. Will the UN go to War with Israel ?
No, the United Nations is a political council.
No but they will impose sanctions. They might even stop US military aid and $
Or perhaps Israel should be expelled from The UN, similar to apartheid South Africa being expelled from The UN four decades ago. If Israel refuses to abide by a UN Security Council binding resolution, then it is in violation and therefore not following UN rules, hence the need to be expelled or at least suspended from The UN until it obeys the law of this binding resolution calling for a cease fire.
Thanks Amy and Craig, for explaining so well the mechanisms working behind this resolution!
"The Congress is Israëli Occupied territory" Pat Buchanan Bring AIPAC to justice for legalizing corruption, instead of improving people's lives,education and healthcare
Thanks, it is important, I think, to hear Craig Mokhiber's views on the best way to move forward.
PERMEANT CEASEFIRE NOW Thank you 🌹
Ceasefire is bilateral, have the real war criminals, surrender, and return the hostages. Those will be the expected conditions. Hamas has been the party breaking all of the International laws; shooting from hospitals, schools, taking hostages(yes, even Jewish ones IS against the International law, mass rape and mass murder on Oct 7, stealing aide and using women and children as human shields(Gazans) Israel, has had to deal with all of this within an Urban warfare setting but since Hamas is the instigator, not Israel, they must not be expected to ceasefire while they are being attacked and their people are being raped, murdered and held in a dungeon somewhere. The UN is part of the problem by ignoring Oct 7, sexual violence at mass scale, burning alive entire families while laughing and posting on social media. Ceasefire, you say; but now, what are Hamas's conditions? No hostages, no ceasefire. period.
Why a vote if the resolution is not binding? The US is beyond despicable!
The Design Of United Nation Must Not Be Tilted Towards Any Single Nation
Since when à country do not accept the résolutions of UN? Since israel is created thanks américains gvts who accept and support this, you say démocratie??? Bla bla
Has Israel ever adhered to the UN (exect in its formation). The need to be occupied and dealt with,
agreed
They are the only ones that have
If Israel abided by everything the UN wanted, Israel would not exist.
The Hamas terrorists aren't going to honor it. Why would anyone else?
@@Encantado215 Ha Ha - Somehow the Israeli map looks nothing like resolution 181 and never did due to the genocide of 47? -Jerusalem should be international access especially due to the power tripping IDF today -occupied territories do not have fundamental rights and freedoms Could go on - but I am guessing Israel holds the record for the most involved country for UN administration. THEY SHOULD BE MOST PROUD All are to take pity for what the Nazis did but are supposed to support them for what they have done since - seems goofy to me
Excellent and informative interview. Thank you Amy, Craig and Juan.
Why has Israel not been kicked out of the U.N.?
Get rid of the United Nations
Not even a question. Israel MUST and CAN be held accountable for its violations of the Security Council under law.
What about Hamas?
Yup murder
Rothchild family needs to be held accountable
It wasn't a ceasefire. It was a 2 week pause in genocide
No genocide in Gaza, the only genocide is coming from Hamas to Israel. How could it be a genocide with the Pali population rapidly growing? Israel has probably the lowest civilian to combatant ratio of any country ever in an urban warfare. Why should there be a ceasefire for Ramadan when Hamas did not respect October 7th holiday at all?
Why keep on the hostages? Baffling simple logic.
Noore $$$ for Israel. No $$$$. Israel will Learn.
The presentation in this interview is absolutely flawless.
The Isralis shud be held accountable as that in the case if Serbia
Why shouldn’t Hamas be held accountable?
IsraHell
Learn how to spell, It is Israel.
Justice for Palestine Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Zahir Muhsein was a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria As-Sa'iqa Ba'athist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization between 1971 and 1979. In an interview with Trouw Magazine, 31. March 1977 he stated....."The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity.
Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad, aired by Al-Hekma TV on March 23, 2012. Stated..... .....we all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian, in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots - whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. We have blood ties. Personally, half my family is Egyptian. We are all like that. More than 30 families in the Gaza Strip are called Al-Masri ["Egyptian"]. Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs. Salma Fayumi, a resident of Kafr Qasim (Palestin/Israel), demonstrated her cooking prowess on the show "Master Chef." Fayumi proudly showed off her Kushari dish that she prepared, "Egyptian cuisine made of rice and lentil." "My family came from Egypt, from Faiyum, and I am Salma Fayumi from Faiyum," the cook from Kafr Qasim said. If Palestine were an Arab state, at any point in recorded history, why was there no mention of them? Because there never was an Arab Palestinian nation, nor any nation called Palestine, ever. When the Ottomans conquered the land in 1517, they gave no independent statehood under Arab rule, but held Palestine as a territory.
