On Wednesday, the U.S. was one of just a handful of countries to vote against a resolution in the UN General Assembly this week calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, despite the Biden administration’s supposed renewed efforts to obtain a ceasefire before Donald Trump is in office.
The resolution, which also called for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, passed the assembly 158 to 9, with 13 abstentions. Italy and Germany, which have previously abstained from similar votes, voted for a ceasefire for the first time, leaving the U.S. one of the only major world powers to not approve of a ceasefire resolution.

I didn’t vote for this.
If you voted for a democrat or republican you did vote for this
Good thing I didn’t vote for a democrat or republican.
One more reason to lose hope in this country. I think I’m nearing the bottom of the proverbial barrel. Let’s shoot a few more holes in it for good measure.
Fuck Israel too.
They never wanted those hostages back. Israel cares as much for their own citizens as the US government cares for theirs. Which is not a whole lot. Plenty of Americans have been killed by israel and the US government hasnt lfted a finger.
But I thought Biden wanted to make everything better? Isn’t he the good guy? /s
Remind me again why the US has veto power when an overwhelming majority of countries vote the other way?
Perpetual war is good for business.
Even the Ferengi understood that peace is also good for business.
the ferengi are moral giants when compared to any recent US administration - and, with the 2024 election, perhaps the us as a whole. :-|
