In the shadow of escalating violence, Richard Falk’s urgent call for action resonates deeply. As president of the Gaza Tribunal, he warns that inaction could lead to humanity’s greatest moral collapse. Indeed, his assertion reflects a broader concern about Holocaust memory and how we confront genocide today. The tribunal emphasizes empowering the U.N. General Assembly to authorize humanitarian intervention before it is too late! What stands out here is not just a plea for help but an insistence on accountability from world leaders who have remained silent amidst this crisis.
