A former senior official of the United Nations human rights agency has slammed the UN for appearing powerless and failing to stop what he called "a genocide unfolding before our eyes" in Gaza.
Craig Mokhiber, an American human rights lawyer, claimed that the "current wholesale massacre of the Palestinian people" is rooted in decades of persecution and cleansing by Israel "based entirely on their status as Arabs and accompanied by clear statements of intention by leaders in Israel, the government and the military.”
Mokhiber left his job heading the New York office of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on October 31. His four-page letter to UN human rights chief Volker Türk makes no mention of Hamas's surprise attack on Israel in October. 7.
In the letter, Mokhiber accused the US, UK and much of Europe of being "fully complicit in the horrific assault" on Gaza by Israeli forces.
Mokhiber, who joined the UN in 1992 and said he has investigated Palestinian human rights since the 1990s and lived in Gaza, also wrote that a two-state solution to the decade-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict is impossible . He called for the dissolution of Israel and the creation of "a single, democratic, secular state in all of historic Palestine, with equal rights for Christians, Muslims and Jews."
