Tensions between the US and Israel were exposed on Monday when Washington stood aside and allowed the UN Security Council to pass a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
I am genuinely surprised that the US only abstained, not vetoed, this resolution. Something like the past 40 or 50 similar resolutions to help the Palestinian victims of war and occupation were all vetoed by the US over the past 30 or so years. I wonder if this might actually be the first such resolution not vetoed by the US in… I don’t even know how long.
It is just so typical of a fascist state like the US what they do at the UN, where they talk big about upholding and enforcing international law, but then at every opportunity the US simply excepts itself (and Israel) from the law. They take exception by vetoing every single UN resolution ever passed toward the peaceful coexistence of ethnic Jews and Palestinians, and so the US keeps this White Supremacist project that is Israel to commit crimes against humanity continuously for decades, to such a severe degree that it spirals into a full-on genocide.
Now, finally, the US does something to NOT overtly support White Supremacist genocide. That amazes me.
One that the US wrote, that Russia and China and Algeria criticized for passive wording. Probably petty on their end, but the US has shot down like 30 ceasefire resolutions up to this point and we just HAVE to be the ones to write the winner? Fuck’s sake.
Oh and they didn’t like that it didn’t have any condemnation of Israel’s planned invasion of rafah, to which the US ambassador replied “DO YOU CONDEMN HAMAS?”

The US voted in favor of a ceasefire three days ago, which was vetoed by China and Russia.
