Up to their old tricks again: New intelligence leaks expose American spying on UN chief Gutteres

Spying on your enemies is one thing, but when it’s directed at supposed friends who can blame them for being annoyed? Antonio Guterres © Gehad Hamdy / picture alliance via Getty Images Among the classified documents allegedly leaked by US Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, as part of a huge trove, is one exposing how the US is spying intently on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and is deeply unhappy that he is engaging with Moscow. What do we learn from this leak? Several files that Teixeira shared with other members of a private Discord chat, an action that may land him in a US supermax prison for the rest of his life, show Washington is keeping a very close eye on all Guterres’ sensitive private communications. One accuses him of “...

Russia’s UN mission accuses US of discrimination

Can the U.N. Stop the War?

BY RICHARD C. GROSS Photograph Source: John Samuel – CC BY-SA 4.0 “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” — George Santayana, Spanish-American philosopher, 1863-1952 We in the West watch the slaughter in Eastern Europe as if it were a football game, rooting for an underdog team as it courageously stands up to a stronger adversary. Will it stop standing, hopelessly swept to defeat by superior numbers of forces? Since when has war become a sport? We who are standing by should be ashamed. Where’s the United Nations? Sulking? This little war — this mouse-that-roared-back war – is frightening because sooner or later the spectators could rush onto the field to help the little guy, with whom many bystanders sympathize. Lots of folks love rooting for the under...

False hopes and broken promises litter the ground behind the UN Statement on Palestine

Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations Riyad Mansour at the UN in New York City on 24 July 2018 [Drew Angerer/Getty Images] Dr Ramzy Baroud Rarely does the Palestinian Ambassador to the UN make an official comment expressing happiness over any official proceedings concerning the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Ambassador Riyad Mansour, though, is "very happy that there was a very strong united message from the Security Council against the illegal, unilateral measure" undertaken by the Israeli government. The "measure" in question is a decision, on 12 February, by the far-right government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to construct 10,000 new housing units in nine illegal Jewish settlements in the Occupied Palestinian West Bank. Predicta...
