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.
This is something the IOF has routinely done, and I don't understand how a vast majority of people aren't still utterly horrified by the depravity of these genocidal monsters.
I don't know the name of this person who was killed, and it's just absolutely heartbreaking. Seeing this should disturb you, but months and months have passed and this violence continues. It's despicable.
Many horrible people have dismissed Aaron Bushnell's self-sacrificial protest as just 'mental illness'
First of all, f*ck you for questioning Aaron's motives when he literally used his last ounce of life
to TELL YOU 'Free Palestine'
But ok, let's talk mental health
How about the fact USA is still destroying millions of young lives by recruiting them with fake patriotism, only to throw them into the meatgrinder of imperialism?
You DO NOT support the troops
if you force them to join a genocide
Many veterans commit suicide after their service
Because the ideals they signed up for were never rewarded
They were used and discarded by a callous government that told them to murder civilians, engage in imperialist violence, and support colonial genocide, just so Boeing's stock could rise 0.5%
You want to talk mental illness? Well guess what?
Just like every other problem in America
it is not the fault of the individual
It caused by the societal hell and betrayal of late stage capitalism
WTF ARE THE CRIMES OF THESE PALESTINIAN MEN THEY CAPTURED, TORTURED, AND HUMILIATED FROM KHAN YOUNIS? BEING PALESTINIAN? IS THAT THEIR CRIME??
This was on a NATIONAL broadcast. A NATIONAL broadcast... these innocent men were trying to flee to find safety... there are just too many words to describe the inhumanity and morally depravity involved in being able to do something like this -the IOF are the real terrorists.
Wanted to let you guys know that Let’s Talk Palestine has just launched fundsforgaza, an initiative created for the purpose of spotlighting families in urgent need of emergency funds. This list highlights families who’re trying to evacuate Gaza, but which aren’t getting enough attention. Please donate if you can—and whether or not you can, spread this to as many people as possible. The delay between this second and the next could make a difference in whether a family gets to live or not.
In case the esim process confuses you or you aren't able to buy them yourself for any other reason, crips for esims for Gaza is collecting donations, they've almost met their goal of $150,000 raised. Donating allows them to buy esims in bulk which allows them to obtain more than individuals would be able to. I just donated and it was super easy as you can use paypal.

Israel confirmed Hamas' claim that they (Israel) indeed killed one of their own people. This is seems like a such a minor thing but its not, this should tell you everything you need to know.
