So it's just been reported that a suspicious package was sent to the Israeli embassy in Dublin last week - white powder + threatening images. It's been analyzed and the powder is just sugar, plus the imagery it came with is...hmm

it really feels like if you want to commit war crimes and atrocities, the secret is to just keep doing them. just tire people out. give them too much to keep track of. guess it only works when the usa is backing you but christ

We've reached the limit of what we can do as regular people. The labor movement in the West should be organizing general strike action over this, but it just isn't, partially because it's questionable if its members would support any assertive action that can't be directly tied to a bigger paycheck.

I see this thread as more of an unfiltered news aggregate source and poo poo post void rather than a "forums conversation" seeing as how it's literally one of the only places on the Internet to get a non-zionist non-US controlled view of the events going on in Gaza.

Definitely not going to see a video clip of french Israeli mercenaries openly talking about torturing prisoners or a video of a bunch of zionazis mocking African children in blackface on any US media this morning, and I'm sure as poo poo not going to create a twitter account to go find these myself.

It is unnecessary to 'witness' the suffering of others as some kind of exercise in self flagellation. Whatever you might think you're proving by showing the horrors of this genocide, you aren't. Nobody here needs to be convinced, and frying your brain with horrors does not give the victim any dignity or relief. Show respect and restraint for the victims, your fellow posters, and yourself.

this failed but the reporting is so heavily cop voiced that I literally can’t tell how or why

yeah I can't imagine that the US proposal had anything that would seriously harm Israel in it. it was probably another 6 week ceasefire prisoner exchange and then once the dock was built and the arms reloaded they'd invade rafah

idk it's not good that there's no ceasefire but it's good that it isn't a ceasefire predicated on the US' terms, hopefully someone who can will bring a permanent ceasefire resolution so the whole world can watch the US veto it again, making it clear what they're up to

The UN is extremely functional, it's purpose is to prevent world war 3 and nothing else. In the era of American global hegemony that means letting America do what it wants.

If you're looking for an institution that prevents genocide and helps humanity in any meaningful way then you shouldn't be looking at the UN.

The french Zionist who posted a video of himself torturing a palestinian in gaza was publicly shamed by the french government and will most likely be facing prosecution if he goes home

============


‎French Foreign Ministry criticizes the behavior of a French-Israeli soldier who mocked Palestinian detainees‎
‎A spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry criticized a French-Israeli soldier's mockery of Palestinian detainees, describing it as shocking.‎

‎Referring to the possible legal consequences, the spokesman explained that the French judiciary was the competent authority to deal with crimes committed by French citizens in foreign countries.‎

‎The Israeli army soldier, who holds dual French and Israeli citizenship, published a video showing violations of the rights of prisoners and detainees in the Gaza Strip.‎

‎During the video, one of the captives appeared blindfolded, while the soldier commented in his voice in French: "Look at his back! They tortured him. Look to laugh."‎

Also China and russia lambasts the US for their lovely resolution:-

=================


‎Russian representative to the Security Council:‎


‎Blinken said we have a solution that will be put forward in the Security Council, but today's draft resolution does not show that.‎
‎The negotiations in which the Americans participated on Gaza were focused and directed solely at procrastination.‎
‎US draft resolution on Gaza does not call for ceasefire‎
‎Gaza was destroyed after 6 months and the US ambassador now recognizes the need for a ceasefire‎
‎Non-permanent members of the Council prepared another non-politicized resolution on Gaza‎
‎If this resolution is adopted, it will close the discussion on the status of Gaza and free Israel's hand there.‎


‎China's representative to the Security Council criticizes the US draft resolution on Gaza‎
‎Chinese Delegate to the Security Council:‎


‎The U.S. draft resolution has evaded the more central issue of the ceasefire.‎
‎The final text of the US draft resolution remains vague and does not call for an immediate ceasefire.‎
‎Another draft resolution is clear in its demand for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.‎
‎Security Council restless and has not taken any ceasefire measures in Gaza‎
‎What matters now is to move to achieve a ceasefire and promote a lasting solution to the Palestinian issue.‎

Doesnt matter if this is true or not. The US will always supply all of the money and weapons Israel needs. The end goal is to remove all Palestinians from Gaza, and the US is onboard with that plan even if they wont say it outloud.

Just wait till Trump wins and Boy Jared is building Trump branded high rises in Gaza.

Thing I'm interested in is the sentiment in the Arab world now watching this Israeli genocide with US support vs what it was during the terror wars. I assume that this is being viewed in the same way.....

Annoyingly, I was not able to find the actual text of the US draft proposal. Is that sort of stuff published anywhere? Resolutions that pass are clearly published by the UN, but I'm not seeing the same with ones that do not pass.
