      Oh yay! Biden is on the same side as Putin and Xi, in disagreement with the rest of the world.

      Not quite the win I think you’re going for there.

        The United Nations Security Council has failed to pass a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as part of a hostage deal after Russia and China, who are permanent members, voted against the measure proposed by the United States.

        It’s literally the first paragraph of the article.

            They’re not the same: which horse does either Russia or China have in the race?

            US vetoed resolutions that were unfair to Israel or simply that Israel wouldn’t accept. You may not like this support of Israel but it it’s there

            Russia and China do not have an interest in either side. They do not strongly support either. They do not care about either, and they certainly do not care about human rights. This is just to say “ha ha, US didn’t get this done”, and so patsies online can say “derp, both same”

              Unfair to israel? We really shouldn’t care about israel’s feelings when they’re committing outright genocide. You may not like the idea of the US being as bad as China or Russia, but in this case the US is actually worse since it’s actively supporting and funding this genocide. Throwing together a different resolution that gives israel leeway to continue their genocide but slightly altered is just to say “look, we tried” and so patsies online can say “derp, US are the good guys”

    this makes me suspect even more it has been incited by russia as a distraction. i mean the situation was messed up in israel/palestine for like 80 years, but suddenly when russia has problems invading a country, it escalates. coincidence? i doubt it.

    Seems like every offer that demands that the hostages be released gets rejected. Wonder if that means they don’t have as many living hostages as Israel believes.

    Hopefully this can come to a conclusion quickly but it seems like various parties are making that more difficult all around.
