This is why no country should have veto power. The USA and Israel have held back the UN from fulfilling its promise for...ever, really. China, Russia, and other have pitched in to fuck up good things from time to time but it's usually the big two war god worshipping nations.
When a religion is based on worshipping a god of war, don't be surprised when they're violent; physically, mentally, verbally, politically...
That's not really harsh. I knew thus shit since the day I was 5 and watched Israel kill children on TV in 2002/2003
Its always those two for any attempt to improve human rights rules
Oh come on now. Russia and China are usually in there as well
Suspicious username, but you are actually right.
„Why is it always you four…?“

I mean it's pretty clear at this point that the tail is wagging the dog when it comes to the US and Israel and Israel doesn't want any impediments to their final solution.
It's always those two. But hey, don't you ever dare saying so because you'll always find someone who goes either "But not all americans!!!!" Or "OMG! Antisemitism!!!!!".
Don't really care about the downvoted but actually yes BY DEFINITION not all Americans.
Just be honest about being a hateful pos instead of pretending it's somehow just
AKA Israel and Israel-lite
The plot twist here is that Israel is actually US-lite. Israel is commiting its genocide in an effort to steal native land, the US completed its genocidal land acquisition long ago.
And boy did it pay out.
Violence usually does, for the people commiting the violence. 😥
should have declared it anyway
USA has a veto 😁
This was a vote in the General Assembly, where no country has a veto. It's one of the only institutions in the world where one can gauge global sentiments instead of what "the international community" has decided. The veto is in the security council, where the powerful countries that make up "the international community" rule over everyone else.
Glad to not see the usual excuses here when this is mentioned saying nonsense about "trying to force us to pay".
Look, you can't make profitable things a "right", that just leads to lower profits becsuse pesky regulations around what people "have a right to".
/s
There are probably some countries that vote for the proposition to look good, knowing the USA will veto.
Oh well that's alright then, innit?
I mean, the joke of this is in how the UN tried to declare this while so many of it's members were actively using starvation as a weapon against dissidents at home and abroad.
The Saudis have been trying to starve Yemen into submission for decades, ffs. Same with Ethiopia, using starvation against the Tigrea region. Honduras, the Philippines, Pakistan, Haiti, Egypt, Russia.
The resolution was actually adopted https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3951462
That's fine. We're still using starvation as a weapon, globally.
Well, yeah. It was basically a symbolic vote.
Hey UN:
