To the Editor:

If one were consciously intending to kill untold numbers of Palestinians, it’s hard to imagine a more efficient tactic than suspending funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which delivers the paltry amount of food, water, and medicine that Gaza’s tormentors deign to allocate. The decision by the Biden Administration and seventeen other Western-aligned governments to do just that, imparts to their hands a bloodstain that no amount of soap could ever cleanse.   

Feb. 6—If historians will have the opportunity to look back on the human race in 2024, they will undoubtedly identify this period as a defining moment in history. No, not because of a showdown between “democracy” and “autocracy,” nor over “liberal” versus “traditional” values. Nor because of a “culture war” or a fight over our national or personal identities. This moment will be a defining period because it’s the end of a system which can no longer continue to exist, no matter which culture, ideology, or political system takes power. The oligarchical system is dying, and resistance to it, along with a passionate commitment to build a better future, is growing.
