Let's see how the anti-Biden tankies try to spin this one.
They probably just won't recognize any facts that challenge their worldview.
No comments yet in the World [email protected] post.
You should post it to [email protected] and really rile them up!
Not a fan of them posting pictures of themselves shitting on their own testicles. It's weird.
So. Mission Accomplished.
It was a temporary ceasefire proposal, the US has already blocked 3 permanent ceasefire proposals.
Same way Israel has been rejecting every permanent ceasefire for months. Because they prioritize extending genocide in Gaza over the release of hostages.
It was still a ceasefire resolution, and one which was vetoed by Russia and China. I await the flood of tankie vitriol for those nations for supporting Israel's pogrom against the Palestinians.
Israel is doing genocide in Gaza. A temporary ceasefire means to allow Israel to continue it's genocide in Gaza and not cease all hostilities. There is a very big difference between a temporary ceasefire resolution and a permanent ceasefire resolution. That difference is exactly why Israel wants a temporary ceasefire and has rejected all permanent ceasefire proposals.
If you want the genocide to end, you want a permanent ceasefire.
A ceasefire is just that - a cessation of firing, of hostilities. The US proposed one, and China and Russia vetoed it. That's what means Israel is allowed to continue its genocide in Gaza.
A ceasefire is a ceasefire, and the fact remains that there was political will to enact a resolution calling for one, had Russia and China not vetoed it.
Why Biden Proposed a UN Ceasefire Resolution That Was Vetoed by Russia and China - Time
A ceasefire that is conditional is not the same as a ceasefire that is unconditional.
Why do you think Israel is insisting on a temporary ceasefire when they are currently engaging in genocide?
A ceasefire is better than no ceasefire, and Russia and China blocked this one, proposed by the US. Your pretending like a ceasefire is useless unless it's permanent is disingenuous.
The reality on the ground for Palestinians in Gaza are very different under a temporary ceasefire / humanitarian pause compared to a permanent / general ceasefire. The difference is far from negligible. You've seen how bad Gaza has gotten since Israel resumed after the last pause, how much worse do you think it'll get when they resume a second time.
Israel-Hamas war: there is an important difference between a humanitarian pause and a ceasefire
Again, more false dichotomy. A temporary ceasefire is better than no ceasefire at all, and the fact remains that the reason there will be no ceasefire resolution as a result of the US proposal is because Russia and China vetoed it. They share responsibility for the continued violence in Gaza.
I'm waiting for one of them to comment and go on an unhinged rant.
unhinge these nuts from your mother
Sad
Oh yay! Biden is on the same side as Putin and Xi, in disagreement with the rest of the world.
Not quite the win I think you’re going for there.
It's literally the first paragraph of the article.
The US was vetoing ceasefire resolutions before this.
And now it's Russia and China vetoing the US resolution calling for a ceasefire, hence the article.
I was explaining how they're the same. You know, for someone who likes explaining the obvious, you really did miss out on this obvious point being made, twice.
So because the US vetoed a measure earlier, them proposing a ceasefire now is grounds for Russia/China to veto?
You sound like someone who thinks “no u” is a strong argument.
They vetoing it because the US proposed a conditional ceasefire while Russia and China want an immediate unconditional ceasefire.
Did you reply to the wrong post? I was explaining how the US could be seen as the same as China and Russia on this issue because they're taking turns vetoing each other's resolutions. The original post was talking about Biden. I didn't say anything about anyone having grounds to veto. It'd help to follow along the conversation before jumping into the middle of it.
They’re not the same: which horse does either Russia or China have in the race?
US vetoed resolutions that were unfair to Israel or simply that Israel wouldn’t accept. You may not like this support of Israel but it it’s there
Russia and China do not have an interest in either side. They do not strongly support either. They do not care about either, and they certainly do not care about human rights. This is just to say “ha ha, US didn’t get this done”, and so patsies online can say “derp, both same”
Unfair to israel? We really shouldn't care about israel's feelings when they're committing outright genocide. You may not like the idea of the US being as bad as China or Russia, but in this case the US is actually worse since it's actively supporting and funding this genocide. Throwing together a different resolution that gives israel leeway to continue their genocide but slightly altered is just to say "look, we tried" and so patsies online can say "derp, US are the good guys"
Not what I said. Regardless of any of our opinions onions this is not happening unless both sides agree, including Israel. Again, regardless of our opinions, US support of Israel makes it more likely to get at least them to agree.
There’s no “both sides the same”, since China and Russia don’t have a resort, they’re likely doing it for spite. Again, regardless of our opinion, US supports a side and hopefully has influence for the side, and Russia/China don’t, just want to stir up shit
Yes, so now ceasefire resolutions have been vetoed by Biden, Putin, and Xi. Good company.
Biden, through the US delegation, proposed this resolution, which Putin and Xi, through their delegations, vetoed. They're literally on opposite sides of the issue.
