On one hand, I get why resigning really makes your opinion known and gets the point across.
On the other hand, if everyone with a conscience resigns, then what’s left? This basically just makes it certain that atrocities like this will continue.
I imagine a lot of people at the UN are having a "can't fight city hall" moment right now: seeing Palestinian genocide take place, but being powerless to do anything about it, and feeling the guilt and complicity involved with the UN refusing to go against the US's wishes.
They, of course, have plenty of power if they actually tried to use it their own way.
This long-term facilitator of power could simply contact the media and start making waves themselves and could join the protests doing their own social media campaign, etc. Basically, make them fire them for doing what their job supposedly does and suggesting an alternative.
This person is just saying, "that's enough for me" and bolting, presumably to go retire.
Yeah. I think it makes more sense to take the republican approach and do your best to destroy the system from the inside.
This just makes it easier to replace you with someone who is okay with the status quo.
