Wonder what the actual text was.
Also if they really want a ceasefire why did they continue to veto?
What's next: The Security Council is expected to vote on an alternative resolution put forward by eight member states, calling for an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan to lead to a permanent ceasefire.
That text also demands the release of all hostages without linking it to the ceasefire. The U.S. is expected to veto.
apparently the issue is the US wants to add conditions for Hamas, releasing Israeli hostages and condemning Hamas.
I think that's gross but I think a ceasefire is more important
Yeah, who cares about hostages anyway.
it's more, we'll hold up a ceasefire by adding conditions for Israel while thousands of Palestinians are dying of hunger or simply shot. I think the hostages should be returned but that should simply be another negotiation.
Personally I think the hostage release and condemning the initial act are fine but both sides holding up a ceasefire based on those details is terrible. People are dying at a sickening rate.
"We live in one of the most hotly contested areas in the world by choice and act surprised when the people we're oppressing fight back."
If Israelis didn't want to be taken hostage, they could have left Israel. We got plenty of room for them over here in the good ol' US of A.
But they feel like they're entitled to be there and get mad whenever reality sets in.
They are entitled to be there. They're entitled to breath, eat and be left alone.
Yeah. Just like Aryans were entitled to Germany.
I bet you think this is a witty reply.
Whatever that is supposed to imply. My guess is only some peo0le are agreeable to your grand narrative.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
