A black elderly woman representing a 'democracy' country vetoed a resolution for cease-fire of an apartheid colonial state thats affects the survivality of 2.3millions civilians including women and children. Ironic in so many levels.

A yes democracy where one outvotes the whole.

UN should be disbanded it serves no use while founding members have Veto power. US whined when Russia Vetod Ukrain topics now did the same. No other country shows double standards at work as well as US

[pogiako]

For a resolution to be ratified, it needs to be a hunanimous vote. Meaning if the US voted against the resolution, it won’t be ratified.

Cute editing. Not all hands went up in support, if you'll notice, but they only showed one against in a tight shot.

Why is Gaza running out of everything except for rockets?

12 to 1. Only America has the ability to make informed decisions

Why don't you first condemn Israeli occupation of Palestine, Ms US ambassador.??

Also: Council members rejected two proposed Russian amendments to the resolution, which failed to get the minimum nine “yes” votes. One called for a “humanitarian cease-fire” and the other would condemn indiscriminate attacks on civilians and “civilian objects” in Gaza, which include hospitals and schools.

Some nations are quiet about the Gaza issues because their people are kidnapped.

Just like you made an informed decision when you invaded Iraq! Let me know what it's like to be a sell out to humanity.

She also wanted to Veto the Abolishment of Slavery I am assuming

[illysanah]

May Allah give guidance to these people…😢

[danieldipalma]

And when you say that the US is beholden to Israel they say you are lying...go figure!

[fammy]

We all know who's the cancer here

[sarahs]

How can this woman sleeo at night. I know it USA policy not hers but how can she. Im an american and i cant. There are children having their names written on their hands in palestine. So if they die they can atleast know who the child is.

[funnyclips]

What make me feel sick is that she is black and she must know the injustice and oppression is😢

[iggycan]

They are sending trucks but need to make sure it goes to the ppl of Gaza and not Hamas. Europe just wanted to check off a box while the US wants more.

What are countries doing in this organisation and this lady if her ancestor had not fought for freedom would she as a black woman be holding that position?
