Resnično, zakaj se do sedaj še nihče ni spomnil, da bi na mejo med Gazo in Izraelom Združeni narodi napotili mirovne čete? Res je, da je sicer za to potrebna odločitev Varnostnega sveta ZN, vendar za primer (pričakovanega) veta (ZDA) obstaja resolucija OZN iz leta 1950, ki ob dvetretjinski podpori generalne skupščine OZN omogoča priporočilo za kolektivne ukrepe, vključujoč uporabo oboroženih sil.

Če države, ki še premorejo toliko dostojanstva in osnove humanost,i tega ne bodo naredile takoj, bodo Izraelci uresničili svoj načrt, da povsem iztrebijo dva milijona prebivalcev Gaze.

It’s blatantly obvious at this point that the only way to stop Israel from completely wiping out the Palestinians is a UN-sanctioned international peacekeeping force to shield them from the IDF and provide desperately needed aid. While it is true that only the UN Security Council could legally authorise such a mission, and the US veto makes that practically impossible, the 1950 “Uniting for Peace” resolution states that in any cases where the Security Council is deadlocked by a veto and cannot fulfil its responsibility to maintain peace, the UN General Assembly, with a two-thirds majority, may issue recommendations for collective measures, including the use of armed force. While an endorsement by the UN General Assembly would not render such a mission “legal” under international law — and besides, Israel has exposed the fiction that “international law” actually exists — it would nonetheless confer it significant political legitimacy and moral authority. If UN representatives are serious about stopping this, why aren’t they discussing such an option?
