    Just so I am clear
    Russia, China, England or France could have veto'd this too . . . .right?

    Or the countries on the committee could’ve voted against it. But they didn’t.

    Yes, they think Democracy is a weakness and will be Israel's downfall due to demographics.

    West Bank Settlements are the symptom to this mindset, not the root cause.

    Israelis are literally blocking aid trucks that have already been inspected. They're literally starving 2.2 million people right now. You can eliminate hamas without starving millions of folks. It's so disgusting how these right wingers @AroundTheWorld are for starving millions of folks.

    Potentially sacrificing 1 million civilians to defeat Hamas is hard to justify the terror. And while they may defeat Hamas, they will sow many more Hamas-like.

    When those 1 million are labeled Hamas loving terrorists and the official creed is Hamas loving terrorists are evil and must die, then it’s very easy to justify.

    it’s even easier when you just deny anyone not Israeli besides terrorists is dying at all. Heck even deny when the Israelis die too, why not.

    Why do you expect the US taxpayers to fund a wellfare state?

    Israel can do what it wants, the idea that the average American needs to fund their quality of life and shield them from consequences is ****ing hilarious though

    I will yell it from the roof tops: release the hostages.

    Just because I want Palestinians to not die does not mean I don’t also have the same aspirations for the Israelis or Jews in the Middle East or Europe or wherever. Or anyone anywhere; even Russians. I think people transcend their ethnic and cultural divisions and we are all humanity in the end.

    @AroundTheWorld there has never been a situation in history where one country has given priority to a foreign country over its own citizens (AIPAC using that same foreign aid to buy politicians will do that)

    …so the fact that the US of all countries including the majority of Jewish Americans are saying this tells you how evil this regime is.

    barbairans that delight in killing children and toddlers every day

    the ironic part is Israel is less safe with bs like this, if not for the US shielding it , it would never pick these endless battles and genocide. It’s gotten to a point where our govt has come to the conclusion not
    Only will this welfare monkey state harm itself but us too

    The Israeli government (and IDF bomb everyone supporters) are not in favor of an immediate and unconditional release of all hostages?


    Hamas welcomes UN Security Council resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire

    March 25, 202411:22 AM CDTUpdated 3 hours ago

    CAIRO, March 25 (Reuters) - Hamas said on Monday it welcomed a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and that it stood ready to engage in an immediate swap of prisoners with Israel.

    The resolution passed on Monday demands an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas as well as the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, after the United States abstained from the vote.

    I didn’t realize that the US presidency swore allegiance to Israel.

    The US continues to be Israel’s biggest benefactor and the current hold up in aid to Israel is because Trump has been telling Congressional Republicans not to support legislation that would get aid to Ukraine, Israel and fund
    More border security.
