No longer can the US government claim they care for Palestinian lives or human rights. The US was the ONLY vote in the Security Council against the UN resolution, that the UAE drafted, calling for a permanent ceasefire and an exchange of hostages.
THE US WANTS WAR. THE US WANTS GENOCIDE.
The reasoning given was that the resolution the UAE presented did not condemn Hamas. When millions of innocent Palestinian lives are in the balance, the US has qualms over a condemnation. This is neither the time or the place to argue over wording. The opportunity for action and peace for Gaza was possible, but the US is digging their heels in over a reprimand.
THE US WANTS WAR. THE US WANTS GENOCIDE.
A horrible excuse like desiring a stern reprimand and dashing all hopes for a much needed peace, the US actions translate to a country that wants a continued war in Gaza and further death and suffering of innocent Palestinians. The actions of the US government cannot be interpreted any other way. The US fears that Hamas will gain some form of an upper hand against Israel if a permanent peace is achieved. Gaza has been reduced to rubble. What kind of an upper hand can Hamas gain? There is no food or water, and the US wants these horrific conditions to continue. The US has no issue with Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, to the US it is not enough.
THE US WANTS WAR. THE US WANTS GENOCIDE.
One of the components of the UAE resolution was an exchange of all hostages. This resolution was an opportunity to end hostilities and reunite families, but the US did not support this hostage exchange since their vote reflects that.
THE US WANTS WAR. THE US WANTS GENOCIDE.
World leaders must embargo Israel and the US. If there were a time to enact an embargo for both countries, now is that time. Hold the US and Israel accountable.
THE US WANTS WAR. THE US WANTS GENOCIDE.
DEMAND AN EMBARGO FOR ISRAEL AND THE US.
What is extremely alarming is the very real possibility that the US will continually vote against any UN resolution that ensures a permanent ceasefire. Even if the language changed, and a condemnation for Hamas was included, the US will find another reason to veto.
THE US WANTS WAR. THE US WANTS GENOCIDE.
The US government has blocked all possibilities of a ceasefire in Gaza and will continue. This current government supports the continued genocide of Palestinians and wants to ensure that it will continue.
THE US WANTS WAR. THE US WANTS GENOCIDE.
Vote them all out.
Now is the time for the public to be absolutely ungovernable. Bang pots and pans under every politicians window until there is a permanent ceasefire for Gaza. Scream. Break out the bullhorns and read the Geneva Convention to them. Block entrances to government buildings. Stop traffic.
Disrupt everything.
Protest. BE UNGOVERNABLE. Volunteer. Organize. Contact your elected officials. Demand an embargo. Share the stories from Gaza. Share the news from Gaza. Share the history of Gaza. Please extend the same energy to other countries and people facing atrocities and genocide- Sudan, the Congo, the Rohingyans, West Papua, Armenians, and the Uyghurs.
