Mayee, MD 🍉

Director of the New York Office for the UN Human Rights Council, Craig Mokhiber resigned out of protest.

His resignation letter outlines how the events, Palestinian genocide, etc, unfolded and what the UN should have done and failed to do.

@palestine

Rami Ayari from Al Jazeera tweeted: NEW: @UNHumanRights NY Office Director @CraigMokhiber resigns in protest over timidity of key parts of #UN system on issues pertaining to Palestinian Human Rights. In letter to @volker_turk he says: "This is a text-book case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of indigenous Palestinian life in #Palestine.'

@palestine From Aljazeera. Some important points in the letter:

In the immediate term, we must work for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the longstanding siege on Gaza, stand up against the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, Jerusalem and the West Bank (and elsewhere), document the genocidal assault in Gaza, help to bring massive humanitarian aid and reconstruction to the Palestinians, and fight like hell for a principled approach in the UN's political offices. RESIGNING UN OFFICIAL CRAIG MOKHIBER
This is a textbook case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of Indigenous Palestinian life in Palestine. What's more, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and much of Europe, are wholly complicit in the horrific assault. RESIGNING UN OFFICIAL CRAIG MOKHIBER

@eeyam He & Romeo Dallaire could be in the "I thought the UN actually gave a shit about genocide and was rudely surprised" support group together. (I'm sure the membership would be much larger than two)
