U.S. Vetoes UN Resolution Calling for Cease-Fire in Israel

Amid the escalating violence in the Israel-Gaza conflict, the blame game on the international stage is intensifying. The recent U.S. veto of a UN resolution calling for a cease-fire illuminated America's stance, with the U.S. Ambassador delineating a clear line of blame towards Hamas for the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.

In a detailed address, the U.S. Ambassador mourned the tragic loss of life from the explosion at the Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital in Gaza, expressing horror and sadness. Yet, the narrative swiftly pivoted to lay blame when the ambassador stated, 'Let's be clear. Hamas's own actions have brought this on — this severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Hamas has caused so much needless suffering, death, and destruction.'

The U.S. viewpoint reiterating Israel's right to self-defense has drawn criticism from various quarters, pointing to the stark power disparity between Israel and Gaza, and the devastating toll on civilian life the conflict continues to take. The unfolding narrative of blame, critics argue, overshadows the humanitarian imperative to alleviate the suffering of those caught in the crossfire.

I'm surprised a black woman was the voice of the opposition...

The US nearly wiped out its own Native American population with the claim of "self defense", so I am not surprised by their statement now. Status quo.

[gorhamsmith]

As an American I’m saddened by our own government.

How can we not want a cease fire?! How can we support the atrocities ? It is inhumane. The civilians did not bring this on themselves

We know who calls the shots in the USA.
It is not the Palestinians....
