Rally at the UN, Sept. 15
Stop Israel’s Genocide, Make Way for Oasis Plan
Sept. 18—On Monday, Sept. 15, the Schiller Institute took its campaign for the Oasis Plan to the United Nations, in collaboration with many other organizations, several of which are active with the International Peace Coalition. They held a mid-day rally, with speakers, hand-outs, and one-on-one discussions with the stream of diplomats, media, staff, and visitors, on the solution-concept for immediate action to stop the genocide in Gaza, and collaborate on construction for humanity and peace.
The focus was to inspire the more than 193 nations of the world represented there to initiate action under Resolution 377, passed by the UN General Assembly in November 1950, called “Uniting for Peace,” and to proceed, as early as September 18, to join together as one, to declare that the genocide now widely acknowledged to be in process, be immediately halted in Gaza.
The UN General Assembly, convened Sept. 9, is now in session, and on Sept. 22 there will be a high-level UN conference to discuss having a two-state solution for Palestine and Israel, and a road-map toward reaching it. But so far this includes neither immediate intervention, nor comprehensive economic action.
There are several actions that are authorized by Resolution 377 if the United Nations members act to pursue them, including sanctions on Israel, a military embargo, etc. But what is truly important is that the world would be calling not Israel, but itself to account, to stop this ongoing crime against humanity.
The Schiller Institute, and its collaborators in the International Peace Coalition (IPC), refused to be deterred by the chilling effect that had caused others to cancel events in the wake of the assassination of American conservative political activist Charlie Kirk. That is not to make light of the security situation that, in fact, now shadows politics in the United States—including at the White House. Since, however, the genocide is ongoing, and the United Nations must act, the IPC rallied nonetheless.
The rally program began with invocations offered by Fr. Harry Bury, a Catholic priest for 70 years, and a peace activist since the days of the Vietnam War; Rabbi Dovid Feldman, spokesman for Neturei Karta International; and Rafed Aljoboury, chairman of Integrity Political Action Committee and chief organizer of the rally along with Josephine Guilbeau, a 17-year U.S. Army veteran and associate director of Eisenhower Media Network.
Speeches were heard from many different organizations, and the rally was also addressed by Bronx U.S. congressional candidate Jose Vega, former U.S. Senate candidate in New York Diane Sare, Lt. Col. (ret.) Anthony Aguilar, U.S. Army, and many others.
Later in the day, organizers gathered for a discussion that turned into a Socratic symposium. Fr. Bury put forward the idea that the Oasis Plan was the same as the very idea of peace itself. “The idea is to bring development to less-developed nations. The idea is to build rather than destroy. What else could the idea of peace mean?” He also said that “something that I learned from Helga Zepp-LaRouche, even at my age, is to question your assumptions.”
That approach is the only one through which the nations of the trans-Atlantic can regain their moral sanity and their right to stand beside the emerging, forward-thinking new world economic order that is coming into being.
