Craig Mokhiber, director of the US office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), commented that the United States, the United Kingdom and most European countries are directly involved in the massacre of Israeli forces in the Palestinian Gaza Strip.

He resigned from the United Nations on Tuesday in protest of the ongoing massacre in Gaza. The news is from the British media The Guardian.

Earlier on October 28, Craig told UN High Commissioner Volker Turk in Geneva that this will be my last communication with you.

"Once again we are witnessing a genocide before our eyes and the United Nations seems powerless to stop it," he said.

He added that the United Nations had failed to prevent previous genocides against the Tutsi in Rwanda, Muslims in Bosnia, Yazidis in Iraqi Kurdistan and Rohingya in Myanmar, and we are failing again.

"What is going on in the Gaza Strip of Palestine is clearly a genocide which we can call a 'textbook case of genocide'," he said, adding that there is no reason or scope for anyone to doubt this.

"Hundreds of Palestinian civilians are being killed every day before our eyes," Craig added. On the other hand, the United States has surrounded the United Nations with its overwhelming power and the Israeli lobby has become very powerful due to its influence.

Blaming the United States, United Kingdom and most European countries for this massacre, he said that these countries are supporting Israel's attack.

"We can guess what will happen after this massacre," Craig said. There, Israel's European colonial project of exterminating ethnic Palestinians and resettling ultra-nationalist settlers will reach its climax.

We must support the establishment of a single, democratic, secular state in historic Palestine, where Christians, Muslims and Jews have equal rights, he added.

Israel has no right to self-defense: Russia

Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, commented that Israel itself is the occupying power in Palestine, and Israel has no right to defend itself against Hamas in Gaza.

He made this comment at the special session of the United Nations General Assembly on the Israel-Hamas war on Wednesday. At the time, Vasili condemned the West's stance on Palestinian civilian deaths as "hypocrisy".

At the same time, he demanded an immediate end to the terrible aggression and genocide that Israel is carrying out in the besieged Gaza Strip of Palestine. News from Press TV and Moscow Times.

The only thing the West can do, Vasily said, is to continue to proclaim Israel's supposed right to self-defense. But as an occupying power, Israel does not have that right.

He cited a 2004 advisory opinion by the Hague-based International Court of Justice (ACJ) that said Israel could not waive the UN Charter's right to self-defense against threats from occupied territories.

Meanwhile, he directly blamed the United States for Israel's ongoing barbaric aggression against the Palestinians.

Nebenzia said that by vetoing Russia's cease-fire proposal at the United Nations, the United States has given Israel the opportunity to continue this brutality.

Earlier, Russian President Putin made the same complaint and said that this situation was created due to the diplomatic failure of the United States. Referring to World War II, he said that Israel has besieged Gaza in the same way as Hitler's Nazi forces besieged the city of Leningrad in Russia.
