I swear the people of the world, the masses, don't have any true group that represents us.

A racist white South African Jan Smuts helped to inspire and shape the Preamble to the UN Charter in 1945, including its mention of ‘human rights’. A quarter of a century earlier, this apostle of world government and international co-operation had helped to structure the League of Nations and draft its Covenant.

It was two “renowned” Englishmen, Cecil Rhodes and Winston Churchill, who at crucial moments planted the seeds that were to ripen into policies which deprived black people of democratic rights in South Africa. A third, Jan Smuts - an Afrikaner by birth who became a committed supporter of the British Empire - was also an architect of laws which were later to become the framework of apartheid. The same Jan Smuts who drafted the UN Charter.

If the U.S. can do this to Gaza and the Palestinians, just think what it can do to the black, brown, and female population in America. There is no accountability for Israel, the U.N., and the current U.S.administration? Sickening

Yes this Security Council resolution handing over responsibility for Gaza to a Board of Peace and an international stabilization force is an outrageous continuation of occupation of Palestinians in their own now even more restricted territory. Trump, Israel and the Europeans had to stop Israeli carnage and barbarism. Instead of extermination all at once, this plan attempts to prevent initiatives for Palestinian independence and statehood. Palestinians must be controlled because you know, they are the terrorists and Israelis are so innocent. Truly revolting outcome but what did we expect?
