As many of you will know, the UN General Assembly in New York is
meeting to discuss how to end the genocide being committed by Zionist
extremists in the Netanyahu government, which according to former top
Palestine Liberation Organization official Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, “marks a
fundamental change in a world that previously defended Israel.”
The majority of the world, 157 UN member states, now support a
Palestinian state, which represents 81% of the UN membership. The
U.S., despite having the power to stop the Greater Israel fanatics
from their zealous campaign to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians
from the Gaza Strip, has so far rejected any notion of a two-state
solution. Therefore, what can be done to stop this genocide? Will the
world be inevitably reduced to a Hobbesian power struggle between
militaristic empires, with no representation by the peoples of these
states who overwhelmingly reject the genocide being conducted by
Israel, with U.S./NATO backing?
Helga Zepp-LaRouche has insisted that this isn’t an inevitable
consequence of history, as long as nations of the West rediscover
their better traditions and bring back the principles which led to
important breakthroughs in the fields of science, art, music, and
political economy. The better traditions of the West, such as the
American Revolution, which communicated to all sovereign nation-states
then that no one was subject to the whims of the British Empire, was
exemplified in the speech of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto at
the UNGA, shortly after President Trump’s rambling remarks.
Subianto quoted from the U.S. Declaration of Independence,
referencing its historic commitment to the idea of “unalienable rights
of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” He said, “The words
of the U.S. Declaration of Independence have inspired democratic
movements across continents—including the French Revolution, the
Russian Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, and Indonesia’s own
journey to freedom. It also gave birth to the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights adopted by the UN in 1948. ‘All men are created equal’
was the creed that opened the way to unprecedented global prosperity
and dignity.”
The very same notion was put forward by Indonesian President
Sukarno, who declared at the 1955 Bandung conference, that the
American Revolution was the first successful anti-colonial revolution
in history, and a dynamic shift in which all nations who were then
seeking their independence from the chains of empire should
emulate.
We, the people of the United States, must once again emulate those
principles. The growing movement of sovereign nation-states emerging
in the form of the BRICS+, SCO, ASEAN, and other anti-colonial
organizations, present the opportunity for the U.S. to join hands with
those who seek life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
