    I mean didn’t they do this already years ago, and nothing changed? The UN is a spineless, useless organisation. According to wiki, it condemned Israel 45 times since 2013.

    Wait the UK voted in favour? Literally just yesterday they were whining about Pro Palestinian marches in London. Then a bunch of right wing fuck nuggets turned up to fight to the pro Palestinian marches, except they turned up in the wrong place and ended up fighting the police instead.

    I guess they realise their position is untenable on that point. The general public hate them and they know it.

      It’s becoming impossible to spin this as anything other than a genocide that the west is facilitating at this point.

      They are not condemning Israel for the current assault on Gaza. They are condemning Israel for the settlements (which is a blatant war crime that has long been criticized by every country except Israel and the US iirc.

        The illegal settlements that are one of the contributing factors that led to Hamas growing in support.

    Apparently condemning Israeli settlements that has been happening for years is more important than condemning the killing of the innocent Palestinians that’s happening right now

      The U.S spends more on military than the next 7 countries combined. It’d put up a good fight. Probably conquer Canada/Mexico in hours (I’d assume they would just concede the same way Paris/France conceded to the Nazis in WW2), and then we’d also have the advantage in Eurasia. We could nuke most of western Europe, and the only country that could really stop us is Russia because they also have a comparable number of nukes. If we successfully disarm them and are the sole nuclear super power in the world, I could see the U.S winning ww3 and becoming a global government.

        The pentagon pays $5000 on a simple trash can. Paying more money is not a good thing. A f35 costs like $75 million dollars to build and they spend almost half their existence unable to fly.

        USA’s military budget is 90% graft.

        The next seven countries combined (the next eleven, in fact) are all in green in the above map. #12 is Canada, and every other country is either supporting this resolution or abstaining. The US could well win a third world war but it wouldn’t happen the way you say. Nukes won’t be used in conflicts by nation-states, only (and hopefully not) by rogue groups that get their hands on one. Nukes are a deterrent nowadays rather than a weapon.

          I don’t trust that the U.S will always do the right thing with nukes. Maybe you have unwavering faith in the good heart of the imperialist core to never use nukes in conflicts, I’m not as trusting.

          Canada is also still under the monarchy so it’s not like we could side with America against the world

        We

        USians stop identifying with those who rule over you Challenge Rating: um ackshully

        If we successfully disarm them and are the sole nuclear super power in the world,

        Sounds super easy

        We need a smuglord but with like a helmet on for people like this

          I don’t support the U.S, and yeah I’ve been actively trying to move away from identifying as part of the U.S. Notice the first time I referred to it in my comment I called it “it”. Just a habit, sorry if I offended you though, that wasn’t my intention.

          The main issue is if I say “they” instead of “we”, the vast majority of the internet assumes you’re from Europe. I want to convey I live in the United States without identifying as part of it.

    The settlements have always been recognized as illegal, but I guess its good to reaffirm it.

    Its a war crime to move a civilian population into a military occupied region. This crime has been ongoing for decades.
