“US vetoes Security Council resolution that would have called for “humanitarian pauses” to deliver lifesaving aid to millions in Gaza
Favor: 12 (Albania, Brazil, China, Ecuador, France, Gabon, Ghana, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Switzerland,UAE)
Against: 1 (US)
Abstain: 2 Russia, UK” (UN News, 18.10.2023).
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will give no relief or have a mandate to help the civilians within the Gaza Strip. The UNSC with its veto powers are now indirectly supporting the Israeli bombardment and humanitarian catastrophe which is fully supported by the Israeli government. They are stopping the flow of humanitarian assistance and all utilities like water, electricity and even the internet. That’s what the Israeli government does to collectively punish over 2 million people.
The UN shows how it needs reforms when it cannot muster the courage or have the backbone to help the ones in need. When it cannot stop war-crimes from happening and the ones that is breaching the Geneva conventions. The rules of war is lost and civilians are dying.
The United States, Russia and United Kingdom are all part in this. They are all partly helping Israel here. The United States of America takes the price, but the silent partners deserves credit too. They didn’t stand by the people suffering, but instead supports the massive onslaught.
The militants and terrorists of Hamas will just be giddy over this. They are vindicated, because the International Community and the ones caring about “humanitarian values” have abandoned them. The Palestinian people are in the cross-fire and being bombed to pieces. The Israeli has their victims too, but they are retaliating with genocidal efforts. While the other party is just fighting to survive. That’s a vastly difference approach and shows where their hearts lay. The Hamas should be investigated for their terror and their misgivings, but in the same regard the IDF needs to addressed and investigated too. Both parties has broken the codes of war and committed war-crimes. That got to have consequences when the bullets, missiles and warfare is over.
It is just shocking to see the USA steep this low. They are certainly doing it to appease certain parts of voters back home. That is to appeal to a segment of the population and the Christians who defends Israel no matter what. Even when they bomb hospitals, civilian buildings and kills innocent civilians.
The next time either USA, UK or Russia speaks of “humanitarian values” in a conflict. I cannot believe them. They have cast their dye and the proof is in the pudding. There is nothing to see here or believe. These ones are willing to see people die en-mass and not protect them for a minute. Because, that would hurt their ally or their interests in the Middle East. That is what they are saying here and it’s depressing.
The people of Gaza needs help. Both parties of the conflict needs a break and there is a need for reflection. However, with the rapid destruction and total annihilation there will no turning back. Only more death and destruction. There is nothing good coming out of this.
The might “UN” and “UNSC” couldn’t even come to the rescue. Only another place where innocent victims of war becomes pointless and statistics. Peace.
