The US, on 29 February, vetoed a UN Security Council (UNSC) statement that would have condemned Israel for the mass murder of over 100 Palestinian civilians who were awaiting the delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza City. “We don’t have all the facts on the ground – that’s the problem,” US deputy ambassador to the UN Robert Wood told reporters on Thursday. He then claimed there are “contradictory reports” about the Israeli army's latest massacre and highlighted that Washington was focused on finding “some language that everyone can agree on.” Thursday's veto is the fifth time Washington has blocked a UNSC statement or ceasefire resolution that would hold Israel accountable for the atrocities it has committed in Gaza.

🇺🇸⚔️🇵🇸 🚨

UNITED STATES VETOS PALESTINIAN MEMBERSHIP TO THE UNITED NATIONS

In a vote today in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on a resolution to grant membership into the UN for Palestine was vetoed by the United States.

The vote for Palestinian membership was supported by the vast majority of UNSC members, with 12 votes in favor, one against, and two abstentions.

US representative to the UN for Special Political Affairs, Robert Wood, argued that Palestine could not be admitted as long as Hamas controlled the Gaza Strip, echoing Zionist arguments over Palestine's membership, at one point arguing, “there are unresolved questions as to whether [Palestine] meets the criteria to be considered a state," without ever mentioning the Israeli occupation that makes such criteria unlikely to ever be satisfied.

Palestine is currently a "Permanent Observer State" without voting rights at the United Nations.

Live coverage of the 11th of January 2024 has now begun.

Here is an amalgamation of news from the last near 2 hours.

Below is the opening of the ICJ case of South Africa VS Israel, given my intense disgust at my government for not backing this I'm pleased that one of the lawyers is an Irish woman. I watched it all earlier, it was utterly phenomenal. Don't wanna sit for 3 hours? Put it on 1.5x speed and cut it in half.

The UN security council passed a resolution that called, among other things, for a ceasefire in Gaza (until the end of Ramadan). Unlike in previous resolutions, the US did not veto it, but instead abstained.

That is best understood as a warning towards Israel. It is basically saying: We are unhappy with what you are doing, and if you don't change your approach, we will withdraw support.

We will see if it has any effects - I doubt Israel and Hamas will actually do what the resolution calls for, but if the warning has its desired effect Israel will get more aid into Gaza and the bombing campaign will be significantly toned down.

Alright im really hoping the recent UNSC temporary ceasefire leads to a permanent one and a deal to release all palestinians imprisoned + permanent withdrawal of the IDF, BUT

UNTIL A PERMANENT CEASEFIRE HAPPENS DONT STOP MAKING NOISE

Im optimistic towards this! But this isnt the end of this!! Keep boycotting, protesting, calling the government, whatever you can!!

DONT STOP UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE

I know the historical reason but why does the US and a handful of other countries get a full stop veto on the UN Security Council?

Like. Again. I know why.

But from a logical standpoint, what real benefit is there in giving these countries the ability to block any measure for whatever reason they want? Iirc, there was a point where Russia was under fire for something and only faced consequences bc they weren’t there for the vote and thus couldn’t veto the measure. Why is that even a thing that can happen? If Russia, or the US, or any country is the one in the wrong, why should they have the power to dismiss any corrective measure against them? It makes no sense!

You can’t go into court and tell the judge, “Well, your honor, I am also a judge and so I pardon myself for this crime.” That’s not how that works! So why is this rule still in place, when we know full well that it only gives them an excuse to save their own asses or their allies’?

I love when I get to blow someone’s mind by saying that Kazakhstan should have Russia’s place on the UN Security Council due to how it’s technically the Soviet seat and Kazakhstan was the last to leave the Soviet Union and has greater claims to being the successor of the USSR since they were technically alone as the USSR for four days after everyone else had left it.

Like, yeah. It’s a ridiculous opinion, I know, cause it’s wild. But it’s also my legitimate view as a historian cause like. Literally everyone else had left the USSR before Kazakhstan had! For four days, the Kazakh SSR was the USSR all on its own. They were the ones turning off the lights and closing the door behind them after even Russia had left. So they should get to keep the seat on the council.

🇺🇳🇵🇸 🚨 UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 2722 PASSES WITH U.S. AND RUSSIAN ABSTENTIONS

The United Nations Security Council passed resolution 2722 on Friday, adopting text which calls for “unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale directly to the Palestinian civilian population throughout the Gaza Strip”.

Resolution 2722, introduced by the delegate representing the United Arab Emirates, calls for boosting aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip.

The resolution falls far short of previous efforts which called for "an immediate cessation of hostilities" and an "immediate humanitarian ceasefire".

A total of 13 Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution while no country voted against it. However, both the United States and the Russian Federation abstained from voting.

The United States abstained in support of Israel and its ongoing genocide of Palestinians, while the Russians abstained because it perceived the provisions of the resolution as "toothless".

The resolution provides no provisions for the monitoring of a cessation of hostilities, however it does call for setting the stage for an eventual cessation of hostilities. Though this does little good to the besieged Palestinian population of Gaza facing bombardment, disease, starvation and dehydration right now.

The UN Security Council held a vote today (18.10.2023) for a resolution.

All the information here comes from this UN Security website page, this site for more info.

And the Israel/Gaza-Humanitarian aid and situation briefing video on the United Nations YouTube page.

Slightly unrelated, they live streamed this... Which is just insane to think about.

Anyway.

Prior to this vote they had been 2 amendedments of a draft resolution proposed by Russia.

It called for an end to indiscriminate attacks on civilians and infrastructure.

And a condemnation of the blockades and calling for a ceasefire.

Neither were passed by the UN Security Council.

Because despite it saying it would condemn "all violence and hostilities directed against civilians and all acts of terrorism."

Say it with me now, it didn't condemn Hamas.

Hell it didn't even mention Hamas.

... Do you guys know how to read? Like, genuinely?

But yeah it didn't pass, Russia was pissed and said:

"The council once again has found itself a hostage to the selfish intentions of the Western bloc of countries."

And has failed as a collective.

Which, yeah.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Russia.

Huh...

The current draft resolution they voted on today was lead by Brazil.

This draft condemned "all acts of terrorism, violence and hostilities."

And emphasised that it "rejects and condemns the heinous terrorist attacks by Hamas."

... We get it okay.

It also called for a "humanitarian ceasefire" in Gaza to deliver lifesaving aid to millions in Gaza.

Glad we're on the same page for that.

Their are 15 members that make up the UN Security Council.

Currently they are: Albania, Brazil, China, Ecuador, Gahbon, Russia, Ghana, Japan, the UK, Malta, Switzerland, the US, France, Mozambique and the UAE.

12 voted in favour for this resolution.

2 abstained from voting.

These being the UK and Russia.

The UK, because "the text needed to be clearer on Israel's inherit right to self defence."

... One moment.

Screams into my pillow

... Fucking hate this country...

I'm just glad you guys decided not to vote, keep your mouth shut.

Russia... For obvious reasons, see above.

And 1 voted no.

And you'd think that means the draft would pass.

I mean it's 12 to 1.

... But it won't because the one who said no was the US.

The UN has 5 permanent members on its council, China, France, Russia, the UK and the US.

And if one of these members votes no than no action is taken.

It's called Veto.

And because the US said no.

The resolution can't be passed.

Why did they say no?

Because it didn't mention Israel's right to self defence.

... People are being bombed and shot, being killed by the thousands.

By weapons you supplied them with mind you.

And you're priority isn't giving them humanitarian aid, isn't calling for a ceasefire.

Its whether or not the people oppressing them, who've oppressed them for 75 years.

Who have dropped 6000 bombs on them in one week.

You're bothered about whether or not they have the right to self defence.

Their blood is on your hands.

... Get your fucking priorities in order.
