Mr Kipling
Not true. The US vetoed because Israel asked them to. AS they always do.

Lancet Medical Journal already made numbers dead that being inflicted is by this is 186 thousands both direct and indirect, while direct one "only" 40 thousands, those number will be rising, since UN can't get veto done.

To Israel, this has always been about hostages. Complete hostage release, unharmed, or no deal. Would you leave your family in the hands of terrorists in any negotiation? This is and always has been an act of terrorists. That's is extremely clear.

@Mr Kipling
Exactly, veto and veto, that's how UN works.

So is nothing about expanding settlement area? While stalling the cease fire.

So sad in so many ways. The ones making these decisions to continue until the other gives in are all making humanity look real bad. Shame on those Hamas leaders who acted in such an absolute despicable way at the beginning. Shame on the Israeli leaders for not having the decency to know when to stop killing and to try to bring back their own. And, shame on the leaders of the US for allowing this to go on for so long. We know that ending the war will not bring a lasting peace but for now at least we should give a moment for sanity and compassion to have its say.

@ALmost
There's no peace at all in the horizon so far, more number of dead, that includes baby, children and women.

NB
The atrocities committed by Hamas during the massacre and rape on the seventh of October cannot be described or contained. This is the height of barbarism. Everything is documented.

Despite the ongoing mass killing in Gaza and Lebanon, where United Nations says nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children, the US administration find it difficult to stop the present shipping campaign to Israel. After all, with over $90 billion in arm sales this year only, with the top 5 manufacturers in the world all American, must be pointless to stop conflicts around the world. Better to flare up new ones.
Yrral
I think the world as whole, should take action against Israel,and used any necessary to stop this genocide
NB
Hamas has the habbit of capturing hostages of all ages and both genders, keeping them without medications, food and water, torturing them and murdering them.
Ken
Is there video proof of there still being any living hostages? Food and resources is supposedly scarce and you mean to tell me you think it will go to hostages? Whoever is in charge needs to turn the autopilot off and start thinking with their brain. After they kill everyone they planned to, basically succeed in genocide, will they continue to look for the non-existent elephant in the room
Tamarama
This is what the US always does. They are the sole protector and enabler of Israel, which is why Israel feels so confident in undertaking wholesale slaughter in the Middle East.
Which makes the US entirely complicit. The know what the Israelis are doing, how many people they are killing, and sell them weapons making a lively profit, whilst using their power of veto at the US to keep the wolves from the door. Talk about a rigged system.
YeahRight
They have it backward. First, the hostages must be released, then a cease-fire can take place. This is 100% on the hate-filled terrorists Hamas.
Fos
I could not think of a worse US administration in recent history, led by the powerful lobbies in Wall Street, trying to make business with lethal weapons until the end, despite the death and destruction all over the world.
WoodyLee
Not Surprised at all, this genocide will not stop unless Bibi and his war mongers are removed from power. Israel has been hijacked by a group of Zionist thugs who could care less about Israeli's nor Palestinians or the rest of the middle east.
Their agenda has always been the establishment of an all "" Jewish "" state in Palestine at any cost. the Oct' 2023 attack gave them the golden opportunity they been plotting and waiting for and will not stop at any cost.
WoodyLee
The U.S. did not veto this resolution, the Zionists AIPAC and their puppets did.
Capuchin
2 infants were killed in Hamas' barbaric attack on Oct 7th. Israel has killed 710 Palestinian infants since Oct 7th. If what Hamas did was "the height of barbarism" god only knows what you'd classify Israel's actions as.
'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' is a vile, fabricated, anti-semitic text. It belongs in the dustbin of history.
Fos
... And yet we have people defending the atrocities committed by the Israel IDF and the US lobbies, or coming up with unverified accounts and all sort of unverified events.
NB
Hamas declares openly that their plan is to commit genocide to the Jews. This is the meaning of the refusal for coexistence. This is the meaning of the atrocities they perpetrate, the barbaric butchering and torturing of people, the deliberate torching of villages.
Aly Rustom
Exactly.
Their hands are every bit as bloody
Personally, I would LOVE to see the Global South - At least Latin America, Africa, and the Muslim World in general- do what Japan did in the League of Nations and just walk out and not acknowledge it anymore.

7/10 is celebrated as the beginning of the end of jewish terror which has plague the muslim world for a 100 years. The same out come will be achieved as in 1490's when Spain was infected with the Jewish movement to overthought the Catholic Monarchy by financing the Moor war against the Spanish. Hooray to Martin the Hammer for he put pay to this underhanded movement. The jewish result was to wonder to world and be shamed for their roll in unhanded deeds unleashed on world society Sound pretty much the same today. Shame by the entire world except for a few who are beholden the the Jewish money tete,

Hamas has a choice. Release the hostages and some Hamas may be allowed to live, or keep the hostages and all of Hamas will die- along with their supporters and enablers.
Another poster claimed that 70% of the casualties in Gaza were women and children. IF that is true, then praise the IDF. In most wars, the ratio of civilian deaths is much higher. It jus proves how careful Israel has been to keep unnecessary casualties to a minimum.
Ken
What is stopping them from releasing them? The missiles and bombs aren't threatening enough? It isn't even a war at this point it is attacking civilians and bystanders
NB
The speak about "Jews infecting the world" is the speak of Adolf and Hamas. Interestingly, there used to be a cooperation between the Muslims and the Jews in the Iberian peninsula for hundreds of years. This used to be an epoch of cultural flourishing.
NB
The Middle East could have been a flourishing garden with the tiny Israel being an element of it. But the extremists among the Arabs, who pretend to be Muslim but actually come straight from the pre-Muslim Jahiliyyah age, strive to commit genocide to Israel and slaughter all the Jews. The Jews will not die alone.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Makes sense. Why would Israel just stop when hostages are still being held?
Tamarama
NB
Does it? I'd be interested to see this - can you provide a source?
If that is in fact true, its atrocious, albeit theoretical in nature.
On the other hand though, you have the Israelis actively executing Genocide as we type. What are your thoughts on that?
