Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

In another words, the US doesn’t believe in the two states solution

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

unfortunately the one-state they want is an isreal where all the muslims are dead

Which is good because I don’t believe in the two state solution when they parade it during election year

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

To the surprise of legit nobody

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

Lmao, of fucking course

[–] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

Can’t let them have a vote in our shitty faux world government now, can we?

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao even South Korea and Japan broke ranks with the US to vote Yes.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They knew they could because US would play the villain so they could play the smol bean dissenters at little risk. If this was a simple majority vote they would have been corralled into submission

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, but the usual go-to is to abstain

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Remember that French, Japanese, Korean leaders are all facing pressure and protests domestically that are pro-Palestine. If they can appease some of them without doing anything material, they will do it

Joe Biden's amerikkka

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Big surprise there..

Does a veto in the security council have any effect on what the General Assembly votes on? It's noted in the article that 140+ countries already recognise Palestine as a country, so they should still pass a general assembly vote no problem.

[–] kot@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Having veto powers means the US can stop any resolution they don't like, regardless of the amount of votes.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In the Security Council, yes. But Security council resolutions don't determine if countries become UN members; General assembly votes do that, no?
