War On UN – West Retaliates Against ICJ Order By Defunding Humanitarian Mission For Palestine

January 28, 2024

This morning I read through a rather a grotesque Twitter timeline (here sorted to tell the story):

Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah – 22:09 UTC · Jan 26, 2024

A “ceasefire” is what you demand in an armed conflict. In a genocide you demand an immediate end to all genocidal acts and that is exactly what the ICJ ordered with immediate effect. Please stop helping “Israel” spin its historic defeat as a win.

—

Scholars of Genocide Expert Group @GenocideExperts – 00:45 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

Today’s ICJ ruling embodies a historical and watershed moment. It is a vindication of what Palestinians, international law scholars, and genocide experts have been insisting upon for months; Israel’s conduct against Palestinians is blatantly genocidal and must be stopped.
…
This ruling triggers third state obligations to prevent the commission of genocidal acts. @POTUS and others are now on further notice that their arming of the Israeli military could lead to legal complicity in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.

Lord Bebo @MyLordBebo – 21:44 UTC · Jan 26, 2024

🇮🇱🇿🇦‼️🚨 30 DAYS: ICJ WHAT’S NEXT?

Israel has 30 days to ensure compliance with all ICJ orders, like restoring the humanitarian situation.
Should Israel fail to comply, South Africa will go the UN Security Council for enforcement and suggest a ceasefire resolution.
The ICJ is part of the UN ecosystem and its orders are bound by international law.

Now, the US would be under immense pressure to grant this resolution since it’s essentially there to enforce international law.
Would the US or UK veto the ceasefire resolution which is proposed to enforce international law, they would finally and undeniably destroy their standing as “moral guardians”.

🇺🇳 Now, in this scenario it could be referred back to the general assembly, where the UN starts creating mandatory orders for enforcement, like sanctions on Israel.

Today, we mourn the more than six million Jews and persons of other groups murdered and persecuted during the Holocaust by the Nazis and their collaborators. We must apply the lessons of the Holocaust to combat all forms of intolerance and build a world where hate has no place.

RussianMissionEU @RusMission_EU – 8:33 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

Reading the European Commission’s statement on the occasion of the International Day of Holocaust Remembrance, we found a mistake. It would be great if @EU_Commission corrects it. It was the Red Army who liberated the concentration and death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, not the Allied Forces.

The blockade of #Leningrad, with at least one million civilian victims who died due to starvation,was ensured not only by German #Nazis. Finnish troops took an active part in this crime against humanity.

—

Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 @ejmalrai – 19:36 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

#Israel has already violated the #ICJ decision after one day of the preliminary decision, killing today over 120 Palestinians in #Gaza, defined as “members of the group”.

—

Haseeb Arslan @HaseebarslanUK – 22:03 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs in Gaza, says the months-long war has left 2.2 million people at risk of starvation in the Gaza Strip.

—

UNRWA @UNRWA – 22:36 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

UNRWA is the primary humanitarian agency in #Gaza, with over 2 million people depending on it for their sheer survival.
93% of displaced families in southern governorates of📍#Gaza have reported inadequate food consumption.
People are desperate, hunger stalks everyone.

—

Assal Rad @AssalRad – 17:32 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

Following a historic ICJ ruling that found Israel’s actions in Gaza are plausibly genocidal and emphasized the need for humanitarian aid to reach civilians, the Western world took swift action to … suspend funding to a UN agency that provides life-saving aid to civilians in Gaza.

—

sarah @sahouraxo – 18:52 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

Israel kills 152 UNRWA workers in Gaza, the highest death toll among UN staffers ever, the US and UK don’t even blink.

The ICJ accuses Israel of committing potential genocide in Gaza, the US and UK respond by cutting funding to the UNRWA organisation, which saves lives in Gaza.

—

@trhxianl – 19:24 PM · Jan 27, 2024

UNRWA was founded bc the UN condition to recognise “Israel” after 1948 was to let Palestinian refugees return to Palestine. “Israel” refused. So the world funded “relief & work for refugees.” This money is not gratitude, but compensation owed by the West to Palestinians.

—

Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg – 23:53 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

UNRWA employs 30,000 people.

Israeli intelligence claims 12 were involved in the 7 October attack. That’s 0.04%

Biden, Trudeau, Albanese and Meloni immediately move to accelerate genocide by collective punishment, cutting desperately needed relief aid.

It is beyond belief.

—

Aaron Maté @aaronjmate – 21:46 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

In November, Blinken used UNRWA staffers and their “extraordinary lifesaving work” for a photo-op whitewashing his support for Israel’s genocide.

Now that Israel and its US sponsor are being held accountable for genocide, Blinken’s admin newly deflects by manufacturing a fake scandal and cutting off UNRWA’s funding.

Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken – 17:15 UTC · Nov 5, 2023

During my visit to Jordan, I spoke with @UNRWA staff in Gaza. I heard about the extraordinary lifesaving work they are doing in the face of extremely difficult conditions. We are working to expedite assistance to them so that they can get it to the Palestinian people.

—

Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini – 20:44 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

UNRWA lifesaving assistance is about to end following countries decisions to cut their funding to the Agency.

Our humanitarian operation, on which 2 million people depend as a lifeline in Gaza, is collapsing. I am shocked such decisions are taken based on alleged behavior of a few individuals and as the war continues, needs are deepening & famine looms.
Palestinians in Gaza did not need this additional collective punishment. This stains all of us.
Read my statement.

—

Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ – 21:16 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

Suspension of funding by 9 countries to @UNRWA amounts to further collective punishment of besieged #Gaza population.

#UNRWA is largest UN humanitarian & development service provider there. Staff accused of crimes have been dismissed. Do donors want relief operation to collapse?

—

Quds News Network @QudsNen – 21:52 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

UN special rapporteur @FranceskAlbs:

The day after ICJ concluded that Israel is plausibly committing Genocide in Gaza, some states decided to defund UNRWA, collectively punishing millions of Palestinians at the most critical time, and most likely violating their obligations under the Genocide Convention.

—

Laurence (Larry) Boorstein @LarryBoorstein – 0:00 UTC · Jan 28, 2024

Israel’s smears of UNRWA followed ICJ’s Jan 26 ruling which stated “The Court also refers to the statement by the UNRWA Commissioner-General that the crisis in Gaza is “compounded by dehumanizing language”. It calls attention, in particular, to the following examples: statements made by Mr Yoav Gallant, Defence Minister of Israel, on 9 and 10 October 2023, by Mr Isaac Herzog, President of Israel, on 12 October 2023, and by Mr Israel Katz, then Minister of Energy and Infrastructure of Israel, on 13 October 2023.” Israel wanted to get even with UNRWA and harm Palestinians, who depend on UNRWA for assistance.

Shamefully, the United States, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, Netherlands and Italy joined in smearing UNRWA and cutting off support to the agency and thus to Palestinians.

—

Norway in Palestine @NorwayPalestine – 13:59 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

The situation in Gaza is catastrophic, and @UNRWA is the most important humanitarian organization there. Norway continues our support for the Palestinian people through UNRWA. International support for Palestine is needed now more than ever

Reports that UNRWA staff were involved in the attacks on Israel on 7 October are deeply disturbing and, if true, completely unacceptable, Norway welcomes UNRWA’s investigation into the matter. We expect full transparency.

We need to distinguish between what individuals may have done, and what UNRWA stands for. The organisation’s tens of thousands of employees in Gaza, the West Bank and the region are playing a crucial role in distributing aid, saving lives and safeguarding basic needs and rights

—

Sam Husseini @samhusseini – 18:58 UTC · Jan 27, 2024

Francis Boyle states that with States (including US and UK govs) cutting off funding to UNRWA, it is “no longer the case of these States aiding and abetting Israeli Genocide against the Palestinians in violation of Genocide Convention article 3 (e) criminalizing ‘complicity’ in genocide. These States are now also directly violating Genocide Convention article 2(c) by themselves: ‘Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part…'”

—

Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz – 0:15 UTC · Jan 28, 2024

So to recap —

Accusations of genocide deemed credible by the International Court of Justice: Preposterous lies. Not worth opposing a single massacre.

Unsubstantiated claims about UNRWA members extracted via torture: Gospel truth. Worthy of ending humanitarian support to Gazans.

There must be an enhanced kind of irony going on, as every country on the list has been guilty of genocide at one time or another!

Yes, even little Finland, which joined with Nazi Germany during WW2, & participated in the Siege of Leningrad, which killed 1 million.

I understand the logic of lesser-evil voting. I just don’t understand the logic of designating a president who backs a literal genocide and engages in nuclear brinkmanship a “lesser evil”.

This sounds like a great opportunity for Saudi Arabia to declare that it is liquidating it’s US$ reserves to provide emergency humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. I can just hear them say “And since the dollar is dropping and we don’t know how much the Palistinianans need . . . we better liquidate ALL of it.” .

If you are confronted with an event that casts you in a very bad light and whose media coverage cannot be prevented, the best tactic is to overshadow it with another, more favourable one. This is what the Israelis have done. They have obscured the ICY decision with their accusations against UNWRA. And the West is enthusiastically going along with it.

Three US military personnel were killed and at least 25 wounded when a one-way attack drone struck part of a base in northeast Jordan. Jordan said the attack was on a base in Syria. al-monitor
Biden said in a statement that the attack was carried out ‘by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq’ and ‘have no doubt, we will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing.
Lindsay Graham has again called for bombing Iran.
This is the first report of US personnel being killed in the region since Oct. 7, other than two US Navy Seals reportedly lost in the sea while boarding a vessel carrying weapons for Houthis.

It is (psychologically) fascinating to see, that the the West’s defunding of UNRWA follows exactly the same pattern as Israels genocide: Somebody has done something wrong (let’s assume that), and therefore we are punishing all Palestinian people.

I’d like to begin by mentioning that Canadian law for bids denying that the Holocaust occurred as the Jews claim. In short, Canada is a fascist state.
Working online I came across an analysis of how many humans can be cremated in an oven in a day.
It did an analysis of the number of ovens being used and even address the issue of how much body fat a corpse would have in a concentration camp. The methodology was based on actual operations of crematoriums in the US.
Is there a mortician in the house?
The op asserted that it would be impossible to have cremated that many people in Auschwitz.
I’ve always believed that there must be a great many dead in Eastern Europe whose remains have never been revealed.
One only has to look at the slaughter going on in Ukraine to see it’s one of those known unknowns that we may never get the truth of.
That said, here’s a clear case of where forensic analysis can refute or support the facts of a genocide claim.

This is not absolve the guilt of the leadership of the controlled entities, but to highlight the predominant source of evil in our world.
Global chief cuckold Jussy True-d’oh believes that rather than atone for the country’s sin of committing genocide against its indigenous peoples, he should promote an additional genocide against Palestinians. It’s no wonder his wife left him. He’s not only a sissy, but a monster, too.

According to UNCTAD, Global North comprises Northern America and Europe, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.
This is a useful categorization as all are US military/nuclear bases and practically vassal states. Almost all have a significant colonial/genocidal past or present. No disrespect to people of Global North, but no effort to make their history, culture and dignity alive, dilutes the fact they are living in a US vassal state.

The moves against UNWRA are a cynical ploy by Israel to get others to do the dirty work. It has been deliberately planned by the Israel regime.
“It will be impossible to win the war if we do not destroy UNRWA, and this destruction must begin immediately” stated Noga Arbell, a former Israeli official, during a discussion in the Israeli parliament earlier this month on January 4th.”
https://t.me/QudsNen/94568
A supposedly independent NGO “UN Watch” is also involved in pushing the anti-UNWRA narrative.
” ‘UN Watch,’ a monitor of UN performance, claims to have identified alleged UNRWA members affiliated with the October 7 attack. The non-governmental organization published several screenshots of chat messages on its site without further evidence to corroborate the information it provides or the alleged participation in the attack, as Israel claims.”
https://t.me/QudsNen/94577
It’s chief officers are Alfred H. Moses, an ex-US diplomat, Per Ahlmark, “a strong supporter of Israel”, Hillel Neuer, an “outspoken defender of Israel” and “one of the ‘top 100 most influential Jewish people in the world’ by Israeli newspaper Maariv” and Morris B. Abram, founder of “UN Watch” intended to counter “anti-Israel bias at the UN”

re: : Tollef Ås/秋涛乐/טלפ וש | Jan 28 2024 9:04 utc | 13
Completely untrue propaganda to claim that finland allowed trucks to pass over the lake bringing aid to the millions starving in Leningrad. These ‘concerned finns’ were actually seeking to profit off the misery of starving civilians. The prices they charged for their goods were outrageous. You need to go to St Petersburg and read the history of the siege, then you will discover the ridiculous prices they charged for the smallest food items.
Yes, a few trucks did get through over winter but only when finn soldiers on the line had been sufficiently bribed. We have already seen in Gaza that up to 1000 trucks a day are required to keep Gazaains from starving – instead the cruel zionists only permit 40 to 60 truck loads per day.
The few trucks the finns ‘allowed’ via corruption were insufficient to feed one suburb of Leningrad let alone an entire population. Some of those involved in this exploitation of the people of Leningrad continued after the end of WW2 making millions selling western consumerist goods to Soviet citizens, then became highly successful ‘businessmen’ who became influential in finnish politics. Needless to say thay also participated in usuk efforts to destabilise the USSR by assisting USuk with their frequently ludicrous off the wall plans to commit terrorist actions causing mayhem and even death.
If finns were so keen on feeding the people of leningrad why did they prevent the much larger convoys of trucks from the Soviet Union carrying relief supplies access to Lake Ladoga?
There is no doubt that after the end of ww2 the soviet government who had agreed during the ‘great division’ at yalta to allow finland to remain part of the west (most likely cos they didn’t need the hassle) did attempt to mollify the people of Leningrad by encouraging yarns about finn heroes to cover their arses somewhat for how little retribution finland had to suffer as a result of their participation in the siege. Your acquaintances have lapped up the old propaganda which has certainly lost favour in contemporary Russian Federation where people now see the finns for the duplicitous scumbags they are -typical of any society who lives on the borders of a major power ‘me firsters’ from all over the globe coagulate in such environments, the ultimate result currently reflected in the greedy scum who comprise a substantial number of the population living in the south east of england. Multi-generational selfishness over a thousand years has bred a population of uncaring sociopaths descended from all over the planet who have little in common with actual englanders.
eg Boris the turk johnson whose antecedents coagulated in london to exploit the population in a way that would never have been tolerated back ‘ome. Until the world frees itself of all of these sociopaths, misery and death will continue.
Calling these exploitative war profiteers heroes is a typical example of the BS propaganda ‘the west’ specialises in.

Agree with most of this post, but the British in Australia never enacted a genocide against the Aboriginals. Most killings were retaliatory and western disease killed a large number. The number of Aboriginals in Australia currently numbers in the hundreds of thousands, larger numbers than are thought to have been in Australia before the British arrived. So if the British were trying to genocide Aboriginals in Australia, they did a shitty job.

Okay, now I understand why I’m suddenly seeing YouTube ads for Palestinian children. I wonder how many of those ads are a saturation attack, where the enemy tries to put many more fake ads that redirect money to hookers&blow than there are legit ads that send money to Palestinians. To combat this, I’ll go to the UN website, track down UNRWA from there and see what official accounts UNRWA has for donations by natural persons.

<< Please try to avoid posting misinformation. The U.N. ICJ did not rule against Russia. That was the ICC - which is not part of the U.N. but is a treaty some countries signed (Not USA, Russia, or Isreal). basically that 'court' is Euro posing, a claim of moral high ground. It is controlled by the same countries shipping weapons to Ukraine. Being participants in a war, any 'ruling' against the country they are at war with is going to be worthless.
