UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States vetoed a U.N. resolution Wednesday that would have condemned Hamas’ attacks against Israel and all violence against civilians and urged humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 12 votes in favor, the United States against and two abstentions.

This doesn’t make sense.

Why?

This sounds like the “US” has decided to back the Hammies.

"This doesn’t make sense."

To me it does. Biden's trip to Israel was for public consumption.

The real 'US Policy' is indicated by this vote.

If you look at it in the light of 'Obama's (illegal) Third Term', it all makes sense.

I think it called for a ceasefire and condemned the civilian deaths in Hamas killed while being used as shields by Hamas. The UAE rep at the UN just threatened to back out of the Abraham Accords if this “indiscriminate”, her words, not mine, violence continues. THAT is the goal.

This sounds backward.

The U.N. hates Jews.

Democrats hate Jews, but they usually pander to leftist Jews.

They had already rejected Russia’s amendments, before the vote.

From the article:

“Before the vote on the resolution sponsored by Brazil, council members rejected two Russian amendments, one calling for a “humanitarian cease-fire” and the other condemning indiscriminate attacks on civilians and “civilian objects” in Gaza, which include hospitals and schools.”

However, I think it was prudent not to rush into these resolutions.

“This doesn’t make sense.”

It does if you know who is pulling the strings.

Maybe this was the poison pill.

“The draft resolution also urged Israel - without naming it - to rescind its order for civilians and U.N. staff in Gaza to move to the south of the Palestinian enclave and condemns “the terrorist attacks by Hamas.”

Exactly, MSM is pushing the narrative that “brave Joe is standing strong with Israel” to help his poll numbers. What they just did at the UN is the real story.

The so called ‘United Nations’ is no friend to Israel. It’s full of antisemitic Arab states and it’s high time for the UN to be disbanded and replaced with group of nations that actually believes in freedom...

Sadly, there will be very few member states... The US, the UK, France, Italy, Australia, Germany, Japan... Maybe Canada... That pissant Trudeau will need to be replaced, and Israel of course... They are the only free nation in the entire middle east.

The above countries already provide 90% of the United Nations funding, so why continue on with an organization that makes peace and freedom a complete joke?

The National Socialist and of course, Leftist lunatics everywhere, will finally have the day they’ve been waiting for since their true leader killed himself on April 30, 1945.

This doesn’t make sense.
Why?


My cynical take on this is that they knew that more aid to Ukraine is in trouble. So, they fomented a war between Israel and Hamas so they will now combine aid for both wars in one appropriation. This is just one part of the sinister machinations.

Did anyone else notice AP neglected to identify ALL of the provisions of the resolution, but instead chose to inflame with a glossed-over summary?

Please read AP dispatches with a jaded eye.
