Russia and China on Friday vetoed a US-sponsored UN resolution calling for “an immediate and sustained ceasefire” in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid to be delivered to more than two million hungry Palestinians.

According to the Associated Press (AP), the vote in the 15-member security council was 11 members in favour, three against and one abstention.

 

Not to worry, the Houthis have told Russia and China they will not attack their ships.

So the Biden Administration is turning its back on hostages again, and supporting Hamas.  Hmm, Obama told us, but don't worry, Kamala studied the maps.

 

Biden’s Shameful Betrayal of Israel at the United Nations

 

President Biden has been getting increasingly bellicose in his rhetoric against Israel in recent weeks, particularly when it comes to Israeli plans to finish the job against Hamas by invading Rafah in southern Gaza. Over the weekend, the administration dispatched Vice President Kamala Harris to ABC to again chastise the planned Israeli offensive, claiming, laughably, that she had “studied the maps” and decided that Israel’s plan to evacuate civilians from the area wasn’t feasible.

Sums it up fairly well.

 

Hamas is playing the West - opinion

 

SCHUMER’S STATEMENTS send a message to Iran and its terror proxies that America has thrown Israel under the bus. So, it should be no surprise to anyone that the Hamas leadership is in no rush to free the hostages.

 

Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh and his cohorts undoubtedly see Schumer’s anti-Israel remarks as further indication of the mounting US and international pressure to end the war. Simply put, the way that Hamas leaders see it is “if we just wait a little longer, Israel will be forced to stop the war due to international pressure and threats.”

 

Schumer’s feelings toward Netanyahu are irrelevant – what matters is that the timing of his attack has sabotaged the mediation efforts to secure the release of the hostages. Whatever the price was prior to his statements, it just went up by a lot. Hamas will now buckle down and harden their position because they believe they have allies in Washington and other Western capitals and because, well… they can.

If Trump is elected and any of the hostages are still alive, how much do we wanna bet that they'll be released the day before he takes the Oath?

Gaza:  Truths Behind All the Lies

 

"Occupied Gaza."  Prior to October 7, there were roughly two million Arab citizens of Israel but no Jewish citizens in Gaza.  Gazans in 2006 voted in Hamas to rule them.  It summarily executed its Palestinian Authority rivals.  Hamas cancelled all future scheduled elections.  It established a dictatorship and diverted billions of dollars in international aid to build a vast underground labyrinth of military installations.

So Gaza has been occupied by Hamas, not Israel, for two decades.

"Collateral Damage."  Hamas began the war by deliberately targeting civilians.  It massacred them on October 7 when it invaded Israel during a time of peace and holidays.  It sent more than 7,000 rockets into Israeli cities for the sole purpose of killing noncombatants.  It has no vocabulary for the collateral damage of Israeli civilians, since it believes any Jewish death under any circumstances is cause for celebration.  [...]

Israel has given the UN a proposal to dismantle Unrwa, its relief agency in the Palestinian territories, and transfer its staff to a replacement agency to make large-scale food deliveries into Gaza, according to UN sources.

The proposal was presented late last week by the Israeli chief of the general staff, Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, to UN officials in Israel, who forwarded it to the organisation’s secretary general, António Guterres, on Saturday, sources familiar with the discussions said.

It is interesting how concerned the Western leaders are regarding Ukraine's borders that were drawn in 1991, but have little concern for Israel's borders.
