Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu says entering Rafah is the only way forward.

The U.N. says more than 1 million people in Rafah are starving to death.

So many assholes leading the world. They don’t give a single fuck about people. None of them. Russia don’t care, Israel don’t care USA don’t care. It’s all about business. People blown to bits is just an expense,that gets broken down into loss of production and propaganda campaigns. And those cost a lot less than the bombs they’ll drop on each other’s human ressources.

Uh… I understand your sentiment but in this particular situation China and Russia are vetoing because the resolution only calls for a 6-week temporary ceasefire (that Hamas has been rejecting for ages because it’d accomplish absolutely nothing), demands that Hamas free all their hostages and doesn’t say a single word about the Palestinian hostages Israel kidnaps off the streets. It also implicitly approves of Israel entering Rafah after the “ceasefire”. I’d be more disappointed if this nonsense passed tbh.

I did say USA don’t care, they opposed previous calls to cease fire, I forgot to mention Hamas, they didn’t care when they lit this situation, in fact I’m pretty sure they are getting exactly what they wanted, just as much as the Israeli government is getting what they wanted.
My comment was not about this particular vote, it’s about the leaders not giving a fuck about human life. I’m pretty sure that even a temporary cease fire right now is much better than continuing the blood bath.

Only if the world ends in 6 weeks. Giving up all their leverage for a 6 week truce won’t stop Israel’s genocide.

According to my local news, the draft did not call for a ceasefire and that is why it was vetoed.
