Palestinians have repeatedly paid with their lives, bodies, and land for Israeli impunity which is based on the unconditional backing provided by the US and its European allies

After failing several times, the members of the UN Security Council were able to reach a compromise and adopt a resolution on November 15, almost 40 days after the Israeli war began on October 7, demanding “urgent and extended” humanitarian “pauses” in Gaza: https://press.un.org/en/2023/sc15496.doc.htm

However, as was expected, Israel refused to implement it. Instead it negotiated a deal with Palestinian resistance movement Hamas under Qatar’s mediation and agreed to halt its offensives in Gaza for four days in exchange of hostages.

Israel’s refusal to implement the UN resolution is in line with its record in the last seven decades of completely disregarding the international laws and undermining the mandate of multilateral global institutions.

In Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza since October 7, over 14,100 Palestinians have been killed and more than 30,000 have been injured. Most of the killed, over 70% of them are children, women, and elderly.

The indiscriminate bombing of the besieged Palestinian territory has destroyed almost all of its civilian infrastructure, including the hospitals and water supply, and displaced over 70% of its population.

Weeks before the Security Council adopted a limited and partial resolution, on October 27, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. Despite the fact that over 120 countries voted in favor of the resolution, Israel’s reaction to it was an arrogant dismissal.

Israeli representative to the UN Gilad Erdan questioned the legitimacy of the global body and referred to the day of resolution’s adoption as a “dark day” in history. He openly vowed that Israel would continue its bombing operations in Gaza despite the resolution asking otherwise: https://press.un.org/en/2023/sc15496.doc.htm

UN resolutions on the Israeli occupation

Ever since November 29, 1947 when it adopted its infamous partition resolution, calling for the establishment of the state of Israel, UN bodies have adopted hundreds of other resolutions focusing on the right to self determination and other rights of the Palestinian people: https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-185393/

In 1948 after the Nakba, when over 750,000 Palestinians were forced out of their homes, villages, and farms, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 194 (III) establishing the right of all Palestinian refugees to return: https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/atf/cf/%7B65BFCF9B-6D27-4E9C-8CD3-CF6E4FF96FF9%7D/IP%20ARES%20194.pdf

One of the architects of this resolution was the UN-appointed mediator Count Folke Bernadotte. He was assassinated by the Zionist militia shortly before the resolution was adopted in December 1948. The newly formed Israeli state let go of all the major accused in his assassination: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20230917-remembering-the-assassination-of-count-bernadotte/

The landmark UN Security Council Resolution 242 was adopted on 22 November 1967 asking Israel to withdraw its forces from the territories it occupied during the so-called June war: https://peacemaker.un.org/sites/peacemaker.un.org/files/SCRes242%281967%29.pdf

Israel remains the occupier of the Palestinian territories, namely West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza and Syrian Golan till date.

Israel went ahead and illegally annexed occupied East Jerusalem and Golan in 1980 and 1981 respectively and built illegal settlements and other permanent structures in all these territories.

In 1973, after another war with Arab states, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 338 on October 22. Apart from asking for immediate ceasefire in the war, the UNSC also reiterated its Resolution 242 adopted in 1967 demanding complete Israeli withdrawal from all occupied territories.

A year later, in 1974, the UN General Assembly adopted yet another Resolution 3236 (XXIX) which reaffirmed the inalienable rights of Palestinian people to self determination, their national independence and sovereignty, and the right of Palestinians to return to their homes and properties: https://www.un.org/unispal/data-collection/general-assembly/#:~:text=In%201974%2C%20the%20question%20of,to%20their%20homes%20and%20property.

In the context of the ongoing Madrid peace conference in 1994 the General Assembly adopted another resolution (49/132) calling all Israeli settlements inside the occupied Palestinian territories as illegal and an obstacle to social and economic development of the Palestinians: https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-186775/

Israel refused to take note of the resolution and despite signing a peace accord with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Oslo affirming a “two-state solution,” continued to expand the number of illegal settlements inside the Palestinian territories.

Israel refused to abide by the 2003 General Assembly Resolution 10/13 which called its construction of a separation wall, known as apartheid wall in the occupied West Bank, as illegal and a violation of existing international law: https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-178128/

The General Assembly has taken up the issue of Israeli blockade of Gaza several times in its resolutions since 2006 when it was first imposed. The UN resolutions call the need of adequate and constant supply of essentials as basic needs of all Palestinians and note the deleterious effects of the blockade on Palestinians in Gaza: https://www.unicef.org/mena/documents/gaza-strip-humanitarian-impact-15-years-blockade-june-2022

Israeli violation of UN resolutions has been the norm

Ever since its formation in May 1948, Israel has not followed any of the UN resolutions on Palestine and the occupied territories, whether passed by the General Assembly or the Security Council.

The resolutions passed by the General Assembly are non-enforceable whereas the resolutions passed by the Security Council are legally binding. Countries can face repercussions if they fail to abide by the resolutions in the form of sanctions or even actual armed interventions.

However, the innumerable resolutions recognizing Palestinian right to self-determination and the humanitarian situation in occupied territories have been completely neglected: https://www.un.org/unispal/document-category/resolution/

Despite the fact that most of these resolutions identify Israel as an occupying power and admonishes it for violating Palestinian rights. it escapes penalties.

The UN has failed to take any step to make sure its resolutions are implemented by Israel.

The failure of the UN should be attributed to veto holding countries such as the US, France, and the UK standing behind Israel providing it the impunity to commit grave violations of the international laws without fear of any repercussions.

曼德拉不仅是 “民族之矛”(Umkhonto we Sizwe)~一个使用炸药与种族隔离作斗争的组织~的创始人,他也是20世纪最大的支持巴勒斯坦的声音之一,但这一事实在这里不重要。重要的不是现实,而是象征、挪用和修正。**这一切都需要宫廷机会主义者愿意将自己的种族及其相关的意义领域置于为 “白人主子”服务的祭坛之上。

当然,帝国辩证法并不能简化为种族问题。同样的叙事策略也适用于其他身份属性:性别、阶级、国籍....

正因此你已经看到了:所谓的“市场女权主义者”在为吸血者阶级争取更多的“女性”;政权怪胎在主张对阿拉伯学校进行地毯式轰炸;还有那些撰写关于 “去殖民化”文章的人,他们批评任何帝国,但坚决捍卫养活所有这些被压迫的少数民族成员被驯化的代表的帝国。

拉米的例子很有意思,鉴于这位帝国喉舌的肤色外观,他的身份标志被放在沟通的门面上,为同样的“木髓帽”提供服务,而正是这个“木髓帽”导致他的祖先被戴上枷锁的。

在这种所谓的“进步”帝国主义框架内,不仅是手、还有嘴、更重要的是 - 底层民众的形象及其与帝国的斗争,全部都变成了帝国的符号学宣传工具。

在这个意义上,拉米对美国支持巴勒斯坦的抗议活动的反应同样揭示了这一点,他说:
“曼德拉所倡导的和平抗议与暴力和骚乱是不同的"。

拉米使用同样的“去殖民化”话语,将反帝国斗争的象征转换成了种族灭绝和镇压反帝国抗议的辩护词。

(未完……)

英国外交大臣戴维·拉米在联合国的演讲是帝国辩证法的一个标准范例:在采用“去殖民化”话语的同时,又将其用于自身的扩张。

这位人类历史上最大的帝国 —— 一个至今仍拥有殖民地并生活在君主统治下的国家—— 的代表在谈到重新划分后苏联空间的俄罗斯竞争对手时说:

“我也是作为一个黑人站在这里,我的祖先被锁链锁住,在枪口下被带出非洲,成为奴隶;我的祖先奋起反抗,参加了伟大的奴隶起义。帝国主义,当我看到它时我就能认出它来。并直呼其名”。

这段话和俄罗斯外长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫口中的 “人权”是同一个剧本里的修辞表演艺术。这不是信念。这甚至不是民粹,而是帝国官僚的新自由主义霸权语言。

“反帝”和“乌克兰和平”一样让这些Sir们担忧,因为“乌克兰和平”威胁着他们大都会的军事利润和再工业化,东欧饥民只是这里的牺牲品~Collateral Murder。
