Dear Mr. Guterres,

The genocide—the ongoing Holocaust in Gaza—and who stands in clear opposition to that—is the defining moment today for anyone with a moral conscience. For 415 days now—the Israeli regime, its Zionist citizens and its entirely amoral supporters in the west, have been aiding and abetting this blood-letting. Upwards of 200000 Palestenians have been slaughtered, 70% of whom are women and children. And it’s now just how they are being murdered—by siege and starvation, as well as deliberately imprecise aerial bombing of buildings, hospitals, and displaced tents—using U.S.-made and Indian weapons (Hermes-900 drones made by Adani Elbit Defence Systems in Hyderabad), it’s also the arbitrary detention of thousands of civilian males, their subsequent torture and custodial killings. Such is the recent case of Dr Adnan al-Bursch, a noted surgeon in Gaza, who was abducted, sodomized and then brutally left to die within the prison. His murder—is not an isolated case—and helps illustrate how Israel and the U.S. regimes see the Palestine people.

Israel, the Occupation government of Palestine, has blatantly ignored calls from peoples of the world, the UN, to stop the killing and the ICC has now called for the arrest of its ring leader Netanyahu and his henchman Gallant. All the while, Mr Biden in the USA—a lame duck literally demented President—has extended American taxpayer dollars and weapons to the Israeli thuggish regime—which flouts international laws and the Geneva convention. None of this is controversial, indeed—the outspoken Ms. Fransesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur has published a fully annotated assiduously documented report detailing Israeli criminal behaviour. Large numbers of people in the world have noticed—from social media not from legacy media—that the moral-free Israeli occupiers have also killed hundreds of journalists, civil rescue workers, and international kitchen workers delivering food aid within Gaza. The ‘Israelis’ and their backers seem to simply not care. There is little doubt in the world’s collective minds that Israel needs to go, and be dismantled. The time for Palestenians has come. Just yesterday, the Irish barrister Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh KC who was part of the team at the ICC for South African said this in a two minute speech.

What we ask—urge the UN to do—is to expel the so-called country of Israel from its rolls. To do the right thing.

Thank You, Sincerely,
