US submits UN resolution calling for Gaza cease-fire, hostage release
The Hills ^ | 03/21/2024 | BRAD DRESS

The U.S. has submitted a resolution at the United Nations that calls for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and the release of all hostages held by Hamas, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.

Blinken said in an interview Wednesday with an outlet in Saudi Arabia that the U.S. put forward a resolution that calls for an immediate cease-fire tied to a release of hostages. Hamas is believed to be holding some 100 hostages still alive in Gaza.

“We hope very much that countries will support that,” Blinken said. “I think that would send a strong message, a strong signal.”

A draft resolution for the U.S. proposal was first circulated last month, around the time when Washington vetoed a U.N. Security Council call for an immediate cease-fire without any conditions.

I wonder if the Zeepers can defend their Dear Leader Pedo Biden, A.K.A. the Ghost of Kiev.

Gaza solution: Old fashioned carpet bombing with explosives and incendiaries until the rubble bounces and fire storms with fire tornadoes burn everything. Shoot whatever survives. Coincidentally, this would solve the ME muscleman problem for decades.

Next up: Mecca and Medina.

It’s not funny, but it is very interesting how the (Oct 7th UN-ATTACKED) countries are submitting requests, demands and resolutions in order to get Israel to cease & desist. But Israel just keeps plowing thru Hamas.

(Kill every last one of them, Israel.)

Likely the hostages are already raped and murdered.

Not ‘likely’, rather raped daily: men, women, children. Sinwar travels with a contingent of hostages, mostly child sex slaves.

Some dead hostage bodies were returned in the last exchange.

I suppose if Israel does not comply, this will “legitimize” US military action? As it might be Iraq in the first Gulf War?


And in the Kosovo war, where B Clinton aided OBL and friends.

Israel should respond “Sure- but ONLY IF the un arrests ALL of the remaining terrorists who attacked and raped our women children and men to death in their brutal attack on our nation! Do that and we will stop defending ourselves from hamas because you have arrested every last hamas terrorist!”

Does anyone, ANYONE in their right mind believe there are any living hostages? Previously released hostages (by their own reports) were starved, raped, tortured and otherwise abused daily. I never underestimate the human will to survive - but 5 months down the road...the odds of survival are astronomical.

You in your gross ignorance correlate Ukraine with Biden. There is no such equation.

That ignorance is the result of either laziness or general stupitidy. I don’t know which.

As a supporter of Russia you are now not only an abettor of Russian war crimes in Ukraine but an abettor of the terrotist war of Hamas on Israel. Russia and thus you have joined Iran in an alliance against not only Israel but America aqs well. rK

Why wouldn’t they keep at least some of the hostages alive to use as leverage/bargaining chips/human shields etc?

“ Funny, but I don’t recall FDR demanding that Britain stop fighting Nazi Germany.”

FDR was not a political ally of the Fuehrer. Joe Biden is, however, a political ally of Hamas, Hezebolah, Iran and the “Palestinian cause.”

Thus the difference.

The Russia Ukraine War was engineered by Obama and Biden pulled the trigger. No go back to rubbing it out in front of your Che” Guevara poster like a good little globohomo commie.

Clearly, you don’t understand the mindset of Islamic jihad.

So you’re claiming that all of the hostages have been killed?
