They could at the very least just abstain. Vetoing is so fucking absurd, we won’t even allow OTHER COUNTRIES to put pressure on them for obviously-acceptable behavior
I think we’re just more lucid and aware of what our government has been doing since the ink on the Declaration of Independence was signed.
People don’t say this often, but the quality of the coverage of this horrifying ordeal is the best I’ve ever really seen. There’s plenty of shortcomings, but the wars in Vietnam and Iraq and even against Isis weren’t covered this closely or clearly.
I think Biden et al are operating as they always have, it’s just the level of public awareness of it all that makes this so shocking.
Like why are the US doing nothing/ burry their head in the sand?
Now please don’t bite my head off because I think at this point it’s actually a fair question. Are there a lot of people in the upper levels of government with connections to Israel or is there more to it?
It’s that, but also, look up AIPAC. Lobbying is a huge problem in the US, and it was made way worse a couple decades ago by the SC’s decision in the Citizens United case.
There’s still more to it than that, but politically speaking, that’s a big part of the dynamic in modern times.
How can anyone in the administration justify this? It’s pointlessly petty and cruel.
Not to mention, it’s entirely on Biden. He’s the one who tells the UN ambassador to veto or how to vote for whatever.

They can’t. These moves are being purchased.
Why is it happening?
