Well, this is sure to infuriated Biden’s Hamas loving and Jew hating base

US vetoes Security Council resolution for humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza

The United States on Friday used its veto power in the United Nations Security Council to block the passage of a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire that would require Israel to halt its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The U.S. opposed the draft resolution because the text was “divorced from reality,” said Robert Wood, Alternate Representative for Special Political Affairs, in remarks to the Security Council.

“We still cannot comprehend why the resolution’s authors declined to include language condemning Hamas’ horrific terrorist attack on Israel on October 7,” Wood said, explaining that other recommended provisions raised by the U.S. were ignored.

Thirteen members of the Security Council voted in favor of the resolution, which was put forward by the United Arab Emirates, which holds the presidency of the council for December.

The United Kingdom abstained. The U.S., as one of five permanent members, holds veto power.

The UN has always been full of Israel and Jew haters, and it is very sad to see the UK abstaining, and, apparently, France and Canada voting for the resolution, despite it being almost one side against Israel.

But Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, accused the council of holding double standards against Israel for failing to invoking Article 99 for other global crises, including Russia’s war in Ukraine, Syrian President Bashar Assad’s use of chemical weapons in Syria and Yemen’s civil war.

“Despite the immense global impact of other conflicts and far more pressing threats to international peace and security, Israel’s defensive war against Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, was the catalyst for activating Article 99,” Erdan said.

Domestically, this has led to the Hamas supporting/Jew hating Democratic Party based to go full apoplexy, pledging they will not vote for Biden in 2024.

(Jerusalem Post) Families of Israelis being held hostage by Hamas were reprimanded by representatives of the Red Cross in a meeting earlier this week, with the Red Cross telling one family they need to “think about the Palestinian side,” KAN reported on Thursday night.

Roni and Simona, the parents of Doron Steinbrecher who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from Kfar Azza on October 7, were invited to a meeting with the Red Cross earlier this week.

Doron needs a medication she takes daily and her parents thought that the Red Cross was finally willing to transfer the medication to her, but instead they were sat down and reprimanded by representatives of the Red Cross.

“Think about the Palestinian side,” the representatives of the Red Cross told Simona, according to KAN. “It’s hard for the Palestinians, they’re being bombed.”

The Red Cross has long been an organization that has protected groups like Hamas, so, this is not surprising.
