The right of self defense does not include elimination of innocence

Why would they veto when war means big bucks.

[DearProfessorRF]

The hypocrisy is anything but surprising… valuing Ukrainian civilians over Palestinian civilians…

[marcoswang]

It's horrible, let's think deep in the reason given by that black woman to veto the resolution, which is 100% necessary to call to stop killing civilians, just because it doesn't mention the rights of Israel to defend it self.
So the reason basically said that Israel has the right to defend itself by killing civilians if necessary

Next time dont call delegates for vote please. Ask USA and sms the result on phone. Will save time.

Are we watching the beginning of the end? Finally?

When your evil neighbor kills you in your house. You responded to defend yourself. But your hypocrite neighbors shouted humane treatment of the attackers. Is the U N wanted to have Israel, to be like Vietnam war? lunacy in real view?

[bluejet]

Bro right. No one condemning Hamas. Or the trigger of this whole incident for full out war. Everyone is delusional. Free palestine from hamas. Like free afganistan from the tailban (look what happened there)

“The council is fixated on humanitarian corridors and aid”

The right to self defense does not include genocide.

Those US representatives should be removed for being sellouts!

[Michael-uwvi]

Of course they have to veto, how else can they justify their military aid if they ceasefire? 😅😅

[jchanmcse]

The Military Industrial Complex ordered them to veto the resolution in order to keep making money on arms sales. Big $$$$ involved!

[macaron]

I don't understand how the US could call for a humanitarian corridor hours before voting against one in the UN.

[bobhart]

Right to self defense yes
Genocide NO

[orlandoheavener]

Israel should be the last to talk about oppression.

[Skeens]

You know...reverse the script on everything you think you think you know and then start asking questions.
This is disturbing.

[mahmoudabedrabboh]

Have previous UN resolutions on Palestine and the Palestinian people been implemented!

[Lady_Beth]

Strange. I've divorced myself from humanity, only to discover it within myself.

It seems apparent that the U.N. and International Criminal Court must expand their rules beyond "combatants" vs "non-combatants" to specify definitions, and evidence & treatment of "Human Shields".
