Arab nations are putting to a vote a U.N. resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, knowing it will be vetoed by the United States but hoping to show broad global support for ending the Israel-Hamas war.
And now China is condemning it. Like, wtf. I honestly don’t know why we are blocking U.N. action on this. It’s brazenly pro-ethnic cleansing. It’s not like there’s wiggle room to debate, there’s no room. It’s just plainly a mass killing of a minority population that was already living under apartheid conditions.
Are our political leaders just religious enough to quake in fear at the thought of angering their abrahamic diety? Or is this confirmation that there really IS a powerful zionist cabal that can manipulate US foreign policy?
I mean, both are conspiratorial stretches, but wtf else could biden hang this decision on?
He also talks about values, but if they “would have to invent an Israel to protect [their] interests in the region”, then it sounds like values just don’t fucking matter, because any bloc of warm bodies will do as long as they’re willing to be the US’s proxy.
He’s also said that no Jewish person is safe unless Israel exists which… why? Are they not safe in the United States for some reason? Why is Jewish safety contingent on Israel’s existence? Coming from the biggest power broker in the world, that kind of sounds like a threat. It kind of sounds like he wants them to go to Israel and not stay in the US.
Also, a ceasefire is better for stability and safety in the entire region, which means it’s in the interests of Israeli civilians to have a ceasefire. Given Biden is vetoing it, it doesn’t sound like their safety is really in the front of his mind. You don’t wield an entire nation like a weapon held out at arm’s length if you value their people’s sanctity and dignity. You do it if they are expendable to you.
US was actually the only country to veto. Does not look good tbf

Biden has been crystal clear that this is entirely about power politics:
“It is the best 3 billion dollar investment we make. Were there not an Israel the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.” (go to 27 seconds for his more militant delivery from decades ago; his message has not substantially changed)
