News - Middle East: A former United Nations official, who resigned last year in protest at the Israeli regime’s ongoing genocidal war on the Gaza Strip and the US and its allies’ support for the onslaught, keeps denouncing Washington’s complicity.

“US policy in Gaza is not a ‘failure.’ It is a terrible success,” Craig Mokhiber, who used to run the New York chapter of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, wrote in a post on X, former Twitter, on Sunday.

“The US is a successful co-perpetrator in Genocide,” added the prominent human rights lawyer and justice campaigner.

Mokhiber dismissed the United States’ pretenses of opposition to the brutal aggression that has claimed the lives of nearly 40,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children, since its onset on October 7.

Citing an instance of such ostensible American policy, he pointed to to the US’s so-called intermediary role in the ongoing negotiations that are aimed at bringing about a truce in the war.

He described Washington’s participation in the talks as a “charade,” referring to its refusal to exert effective pressure on Tel Aviv towards agreeing to a truce deal, despite its being Tel Aviv’s biggest benefactor and ally.

Mokhiber also enumerated Washington’s feeble attempts at delivering aid to Gaza, which is also suffering from an all-out Israeli siege.

He mentioned its setting up of a floating pier near the coastal sliver, which was washed away soon after creation back in May, as well as its airdropping and shipping trickles of humanitarian supplies to the territory.

Elsewhere in the post, Mokhiber brought up American officials’ “crocodile tears for civilian loss,” their “movable red lines,” and “arguments with Israel on the pace of the destruction.”

The latter pointed to the officials’ apparently trying to have Tel Aviv speed up its efforts at “succeeding” in the war as a purported means of curtailing the onslaught’s human toll.

These American policies “are all fig leaves designed to create diplomatic and political space for genocide,” he asserted.

“Washington’s real policy has always been to support Israel in the destruction of Gaza, to render it unlivable, and to lay the ground for its ethnic cleansing.”
