    please tell me what voting for a non-binding ceasefire at the un is going to do unless you’re going to start physically using force against israel?

      It tells the world quiet clearly that you don’t side with a genocidal regime for one.

      The current approach has all but destroyed any moral high ground the US, UK and other western countries had around human rights.

        i don’t like the israeli strategy but calling everything “genocide” does nothing to help the situation.

        we have treaties for a reason and that still doesn’t say anything about what voting for a non-binding ceasefire will do for the region.

          I’m not calling everything genocide. I’m calling the genocide that Netanyahu is perpetrating right now in Gaza a genocide.

          Pretending it’s anything less tells me what you are.

      Please tell me what continuing to block it will accomplish, other than signaling support for Netanyahu’s genocide?
