The measure received 14 votes in favour, with the US the sole member to reject it. However, because the US is a permanent member of the council, it has the ability to veto any resolution brought forward

Unlike several previous resolutions regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, Wednesday's measure was brought forward by all 10 elected members of the Security Council.

The US has vetoed four previous attempts at calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, on most occasions being the lone vote against the measures.

There is no "justice" in any circumstances in which the hostages are not immediately returned.

Then, reach a deal for the hostages, like the ones Netanyahu has repeatedly shot down.

So you're literally just confirming this:

So in your imagination Israel unilaterally stops fighting against Hamas while (a) Hamas continues to hold civilians hostage, doing all manners of physical and psychological torture to people who only happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and (b) Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and tribal gangs continue to wage attacks against Israel? And then (and only then), Israel comes back to the negotiating table with Hamas once again for yet another round of negotiations to try to free the hostages, only for Hamas to decide to move the goalposts?

You must have read "Art of the Deal".

Yes this totally all makes a genocide completely reasonable and acceptable. Genociding the local population, that's true justice innit?

If you could argue against what I said you wouldn't resort to putting words in my mouth, mate.

And if you could read you would know that both Israelies and Palestinians are the "local population" with somewhat dubious historic claims over the land spanning back >3000 years.

Need I remind you that it was the British that drew the maps that have lead us to where we are today?
