A world body like the United Nations should have the power to enforce its resolutions and impose sanctions on the offending countries regardless of how powerful they are. No country should be allowed to continue committing crimes against humanity with impunity. The world should unite and act quickly to stop such aggression. The simple majority decision is all that it should take to isolate and punish the criminal country. This ability is woefully lacking in the current United Nations.

This is the last chapter of the genocide. It is the final, blood-soaked push to drive the Palestinians from Gaza. No food. No medicine. No shelter. No clean water. No electricity. Israel is swiftly turning Gaza into a Dantesque cauldron of human misery where Palestinians are being killed in their hundreds and soon, again, in their thousands and tens of thousands, or they will be forced out never to return. The final chapter marks the end of Israeli lies. The lie of the two-state solution.

This comes five days after the Gestapo-like abduction of Mahmoud Khalil (the Palestine solidarity activist and a movement spokesperson at Columbia) by ICE agents! It comes six days after the federal government cut off $400 million for scientific research conducted at Columbia.
