      It omits why the U.S. vetoed it, which is that no one was willing to condemn Hamas or address how a cease fire would only encourage Hamas to carry out more attacks against Israel because they have shown no desire to end their attacks. No one has presented any support to find and stop Hamas attacks, only for Israel to end their attacks.

      So a cease fire would only last as long as the next Hamas attack.

      Edit: downvoted for sharing the U.S. side. Interesting. Anyone have a solution for stopping Hamas let alone actually condemning them in a movee to stop Israel’s attacks?

        Well one idea would be to stop occupying Palestine. You know, their one wish list item they’ve had for their entire 40 years of existence.

        What you are saying is the US vetoed it because they accept the false dichotomy in the Israeli narrative of the situation.

        So a cease fire would only last as long as the next Hamas attack.

        Which we’ve literally observed several times before where Israel will sign a cease fire and hours later Hamas will attack… A ceasefire at this point is just signing up Israel for extra deaths and saves no one else.

        Edit: For you morons downvoting me. I suggest you actually do some searches on who ended each ceasefire on all previous signed ceasefires.

          Lmao. Sure if you ignore the fact that Israel has never stopped committing acts of war. How can you have peace while one side is blockading the other? It’s one of the oldest acts of war there is. But you just ignore that. You just ignore the peaceful protests that the IDF shoots at. You just ignore the settler violence that gets a slap on the wrist if anything at all. You ignore Israel assassinating doctors and teachers merely because they had a Hamas party card.

          Then when Hamas and other Palestinians resort to the only thing they’ve been left Israel puts on a big Pikachu face. This is an old story. Repeated all throughout the colonial age. And Israel is nothing but a modern colony.
