The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution proposed by Algeria on Tuesday that called on Israel to implement a cease-fire against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, criticizing the measure as “wishful” and “irresponsible.”

Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said the U.S. is circulating an alternative text that calls for a temporary cease-fire and the release of more than 100 Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

“For weeks, we have made it incredibly clear that the resolution before the council would not achieve the goal of a sustainable peace and may in fact run counter to it,” Thomas-Greenfield said, explaining her veto of the resolution.

Israel is at war.

Armed people who actively oppose Israel will be dealt with.

No one cares about the non woke, non decadent West. Excluding the members of nato, we are viewed as the pariah of the world over things such as this. A fact that can’t be argued. Unfortunately for America, the rest of the world now sees the Russians and Chinese populating that “city upon a hill”.

Bibi told Joe veto it, or we will destroy Iran. They do that, the kickbacks stop.

When will people understand the muzzies will not quit while still alive to the last man? Killing the leaders makes no difference to them.
