The measure received 14 votes in favour, with the US the sole member to reject it. However, because the US is a permanent member of the council, it has the ability to veto any resolution brought forward

Unlike several previous resolutions regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, Wednesday’s measure was brought forward by all 10 elected members of the Security Council.

The US has vetoed four previous attempts at calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, on most occasions being the lone vote against the measures.

    Shows he and the Democratic leaders never intended to end the genicide. Just another sign the democrats no longer support anyone but the oligarchy. Yes the Republicans are worse by alot but people that are anti genicide, anti oligarchy, anti fascism, anti authoritarianism, etc don’t have a party to vote for. Only the level of oppression they will see in the next 4 years.

      Imagine a person having to choose between losing 2 of their limbs or losing all 4 limbs.

      Democrats are basically the ones wanting to cut off 2 of your limbs

      Republicans want to cut off all your limbs.

      Thats what is is. I mean I voted against the party that wants to cut off 4 of my limbs, but I’m just sad that there isn’t a party (that can actually win elections) that is saying “we don’t cut off any of your limbs”.

        Normal person: hey I don’t wanna vote for genocide

        Liberal: so imagine I tie you to a chair and gives you the choice between watching me rape your mum and swallow your own left testicle. I’ve drawn a picture on paint

          First-Past-The-Post 😓

          Just get rid of electoral college and use Rnaked-Choice for single-winner positions + Proportional Representation in legislature

          Genocide would end overnight

          Come back when there is an option that actually destroys the orphan crushing machines. Otherwise your just pouring more fuel into it and making it work faster.
