          What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

      They knew they could because US would play the villain so they could play the smol bean dissenters at little risk. If this was a simple majority vote they would have been corralled into submission

        True, but the usual go-to is to abstain

          Remember that French, Japanese, Korean leaders are all facing pressure and protests domestically that are pro-Palestine. If they can appease some of them without doing anything material, they will do it

    Does a veto in the security council have any effect on what the General Assembly votes on? It’s noted in the article that 140+ countries already recognise Palestine as a country, so they should still pass a general assembly vote no problem.

      Having veto powers means the US can stop any resolution they don’t like, regardless of the amount of votes.

        In the Security Council, yes. But Security council resolutions don’t determine if countries become UN members; General assembly votes do that, no?

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
