Those countries who voted for a cease fire did not mention Hamas in the UN resolution ??
And at the end of the day the UN Security Council does not amount to a bag of beans any way
Waste of space talking shop for hypocrites

When any one of the five nations can apply a veto to block a proposal it reduces the whole excercise to nothing more than a show of hands.
No wonder Russia and China remain cynical about the UN while America maintains this position on Israeli actions.
The Palestinian spokesman has given eloquent reminders of their position.
It does have the intention, it wants to clear out Jews from the river to the sea….I’m surprised Palestinians haven’t turned that into a chant.
this is probably true
How does that work in practice?
If Israel gives more freedom to Palestinians it gives more freedom to Hamas.
I just can’t see citizens of Israel voting for a govt that would have a manifesto policy of giving up Israel land to Palestinians…even though it was their land to begin with
yes basically UN is a committee. With veto voting it is toothless

At the end of the war that started on 7 October lies a big, unknown place called the future. The old status quo was dangerous and painful, especially for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. But it was familiar. Then after 7 October it was smashed by the Hamas attacks, and Israel's response.
International law says an occupying power should not settle its citizens in land it has captured. Israel says the law does not apply.
"Occupation is not the word," Simcha Rotman told me at the Knesset. "You cannot occupy your own land. Israel is not an occupier in Israel because that's the land of Israel."
For Simcha Rotman and other Jewish nationalists, Gaza is also part of the land of Israel.
The future is messy and dangerous. The war in Gaza will not end neatly.

The Palestinian cry is for Palestine to be free. Currently bot the West Bank and Gaza is occupied by Israel. But that isn't the end of it, the Israelis operate an aparteid state. Disposess Palestinians of their land, support Israelis in killiing unarmed civilians, etc.
The Zionist Charter calls for the whole of the Levant to be Israeli, and only for Israelis.
The government of Israel is dominate dby the Zionists.
Their Chief Rabbi says it's OK for soldiers to rape Palestinian women (but not marry them.
)How many Palestinians has Israel killed in their widespread revenge killing? Approaching 20,000.
If Israel is not stopped, do you honestly think they'd stop on their own accord, until Gaza and West Bank Palestinians are wiped out?

not a single mention of the atrocities Hamas has committed.
Of course, it was a vote (or veto in the case of USA) for a ceasefire, not a discussion of who did what, when, how, why, or where.

US vetoes resolution despite pleas from secretary general and Arab allies, saying ceasefire ‘would only plant the seeds of the next war’

Are you being serious.
Women are raped every day in every country in the world.I did make the claim, and I presented the evidence.
You are now questioning that evidence. You'll need to present counter evidence to justify your claim.
I'm afraid that your opinion will just not do.
A reminder:
Rape and the Israel Defense Forces
In 2002, Rabbi Eyal Karim was asked, “Is it allowed in our days for an IDF soldier, for example, to rape girls during a fight, or is such…comrademorlock.medium.com
If there is evidence that Hamas militants committed sexual offences, then these allegations should be investigated and if the culprits are identified, then they should be punished accordingly.
Hamas are not representative of the Palestinian state at the UN, where they have been accepted as an observer state of the United Nations General Assembly in November 2012. Following the Oslo I Accord in 1993, the Palestinian Authority and Israel conditionally recognized each other's right to govern specific areas of the country.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the US’s veto made it “complicit” in war crimes in Gaza. “The president has described the American position as aggressive and immoral, a flagrant violation of all humanitarian principles and values, and holds the United States responsible for the bloodshed of Palestinian children, women and elderly people in the Gaza Strip,” a statement from his office said.
