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.

          Lol, your entire article is about how they only accept a Palestinian state, not an Israeli one

          Here’s the funniest quote:

          But it does not go as far as to fully recognise Israel and says Hamas does not relinquish its goal of “liberating all of Palestine”.

            Why would they recognize Israel before Israel accepts a two-state solution? What did the PA get in return for recognizing Israel?

              A road to a two-state solution through the Oslo Accords. Which Hamas then sabotaged with suicide attacks on civilians.

              What did Hamas get in return for trying to conquer Israel?

                Why does Israel not recognize Palestine yet? Why do you lie about Israelis led by Netanyahu murdering Rabin?

                  I lied about Rabin?? Where?

                  Looks like you’re the one who needs to resort to lies. It’s not too late to change

      What makes it their land in the first place, some British mandate written by the same people who created the state of Israel?

      100 years ago the entire area was part of the Ottoman Empire, both nations of Israel and Palestine are fabrications.

        The fact that they were living there, as their families have been for generations and generations. What gives Zionists the right to ethnically cleanse and forcibly displace them from their homes?

          You keep posting these propaganda images every day, is it your job or just a hobby?

          At any rate, all your image shows is that there was never a Palestinian nation state to begin with. So again, the question remains “what makes it Palestinian land in the first place?”

          By your own admission, this region (home to both the original Israelites, Judea, Hebrews, Philistines, and dozens of other nomadic tribes) has been passed around by empire to empire for thousands of years.

            I believe everybody deserves to live a comfortable life. I hate seeing disinformation or bigotry that’s used to justify the extermination of a people or normalize their lives under generations of occupation and Apartheid.

            Palestinians have been a people for thousands of years. Recent Palestinian Nationalism is an anti-colonialist movement. They were not an explicit nation-state because there was no need before. That in no way justifies ethnic cleansing. If you want the full story, this book covers the four thousand years of history.

            First documented in the late Bronze Age, about 3200 years ago, the name Palestine, is the conventional name used between 450 BC and 1948 AD to describe a geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River and various adjoining lands. This work explores the evolution of the concept, histories, identity, languages and cultures of Palestine from the Late Bronze Age to the modern era.

            Moreover, Palestine history is often taught in the West as a history of a land, not as Palestinian history or a history of a people. This book challenges colonial approach to Palestine and the pernicious myth of a land without a people (Masalha 1992, 1997) and argues for reading the history of Palestine with the eyes of the indigenous people of Palestine.

            The Palestinians are the indigenous people of Palestine; their local roots are deeply embedded in the soil of Palestine and their autochthonous identity and historical heritage long preceded the emergence of a local Palestinian nascent national movement in the late Ottoman period and the advent of Zionist settler-colonialism before the First World War

                Have you stopped posting misinformation? No? Why would the evidence to debunk them change? I’ve already spent plenty of hours aggregating sources to debunk them and they are just as relevant whenever you or anyone else posts the same kind of disinformation.

            You have to rely on the word nation-state to make your case. A western invented term needed because the West split up a great empire into small pieces.

            The argument is like saying “well Washington was never a country.”

            Furthermore your argument is especially stupid because the Zionists literally said they were going to colonize Palestine.
