Israel defies world opinion
Will the UN sit on the sidelines?
Israel has just declared the creation of thousands of more homes in settlements that were annexed in East Jerusalem. This is a direct defiance of a recent United Nations (UN) resolution. Israeli PM Netanyahu, the loose cannon in contemporary Israeli politics has accused the outgoing US President of backstabbing Israel and setting in motion events that led to the “shameful” UN vote. The landmark vote that was endorsed by all members of the 15-strong Security Council with the US abstaining is perhaps the strongest signal the world body has ever sent to the State of Israel, but will that be enough? Our past experience tells us it is not. Dozens of resolutions have been passed by the UN over the course of decades condemning Israeli actions that have marginalised both Palestinian's right to land and human rights and yet Israel has gone ahead and done what it deemed fit.
We find the dismissive nature of Israeli policymakers towards the UN a great affront. With President-elect Donald Trump supporting no action against continued Israeli settlements; it seems that the Resolution may end up on the shelf like earlier ones. Israeli occupation of land that is rightfully Palestinian has been an ongoing process since the 1967 war and the international community has largely turned a blind eye to such activity.
While we laud the body in coming out with a near-unanimous decision to condemn this act, has the time not come to take punitive measures against this rogue nation? Wars have been launched on nations for committing far fewer atrocities and heads of nations forcefully removed for human rights violations. Why should Israel be above reproach as it willfully bulldozes structures and uproots entire Palestinian communities from their ancestral homes?
