The measure received 14 votes in favour, with the US the sole member to reject it. However, because the US is a permanent member of the council, it has the ability to veto any resolution brought forward

Unlike several previous resolutions regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, Wednesday's measure was brought forward by all 10 elected members of the Security Council.

The US has vetoed four previous attempts at calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, on most occasions being the lone vote against the measures.

Lame duck presidency and can't even do the right thing

Shows he and the Democratic leaders never intended to end the genicide. Just another sign the democrats no longer support anyone but the oligarchy. Yes the Republicans are worse by alot but people that are anti genicide, anti oligarchy, anti fascism, anti authoritarianism, etc don't have a party to vote for. Only the level of oppression they will see in the next 4 years.

And so every third party voter is vindicated.

Why are they even allowed to vote over their own war? Oh I meant Israel's. My bad.

I'm not a US citizen, but I can understand why some people didn't wanna vote this time.

Even though Trump might be worse than Biden when it comes to this conflict, how can anyone vote for Kamala knowing that the death of more innocents will be on their conscience?

So that "Ceasefire" talk under Harris was bullshit eh?

No way to know, she never will be president, nor have had say in any of it.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

She is literally vice president, and also had Q&As with the population saying she is in full support of Israel.
