UN GATE, Dec 22
– Amid Gaza the UN
Security Council's failure has
exceeded two months (and much
longer on Ukraine). On
December 19, 20 and 21 votes
were postponed until finally
US Ambassador Linda
Thomas-Greenfield, at a
stakeout with the Press
banned, said in its current
form the US would support a
resolution. But without impact
or integrity: this USUN lets
the UN ban US-based Press.
And on December
22 it happened - a bid to
amend the US draft was vetoed
by the US, which then
abstained on the draft that,
it would appear, will have not
impact on the ground. Inner
City Press video here.
Now censor Guterres will brag
about it.
Talk
about phoning it in. Today's
UN is corrupt.
