    1 which wasn’t an actual ceasefire, just a temporary one which Israel could use to rearm, which is why others vetoed it. There was even a vote later to have it turn into a permanent ceasefire but then the usa vetoed that.

    The draft does not include provisions supporting ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire - an element of the U.S. resolution.

    RUSSIA, CHINA OBJECTED TO U.S. RESOLUTION

    Russia’s ambassador to the U.N., Vassily Nebenzia, said the U.S.-led resolution was “exceedingly politicized” and contained an effective green light for Israel to mount a military operation in Rafah, a city on the southern tip of the Gaza Strip where more than half of the enclave’s 2.3 million residents have been sheltering in makeshift tents.

    “This would free the hands of Israel and it would result in all of Gaza and its entire population having to face destruction, devastation, or expulsion,” Nebenzia told the meeting.

    He said a number of non-permanent members of the Security Council had drafted an alternative resolution and said there was no reason for members not to support it.

    China’s U.N. ambassador, Zhang Jun, criticized the text proposed by the U.S. for not clearly stating its opposition to a planned military operation by Israel in Rafah, which he said could lead to severe consequences. He said Beijing also supported the alternative.

              If anything my argument is that Biden was somewhat inactive on the issue while you’re arguing that Biden actively participated in the atrocities.

                while you’re arguing that Biden actively participated in the atrocities.

                Because he was actively supporting Israeli actions and leaders…

                  Yes Michael Herzog, pro-genocide Israeli. You’re throwing that name in as if it’s a trustworthy source. Israel doesn’t want us to trust the democrats, Israel favors the Republicans like Trump.
