UN Security Council Approves Resolution For More Humanitarian Aid to Gaza; US AbstainsThe United States Biden Neocons abstained Friday from a United Nations resolution on calls for humanitarian pauses to allow for aid to reach Gaza, where the death toll surpassed 20,000 this week, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The US decision not to vote—a rarity for Security Council members—came after nearly a week of debate and 11th-hour negotiations. | The resolution was adopted by a vote of 13-0 with 2 abstentions by the US and Russia. Before the vote, Russia had proposed an amendment reinserting stronger language around a ceasefire that was vetoed by the US.


Comment in Plain Language. Basically, what the MSM is obfuscating on this topic is this: The US is steadfast in favor of a continuing Israeli genocide in Gaza and has been suppressing attempts by the UN Security Council members from taking a vote on a ceasefire (cessation of hostilities). For PR purposes, they finally allowed a vote on being in favor of a watered-down resolution, in principle and without requirements, for the delivery of more humanitarian aid, but nothing on ending Israel's murderous killing spree. During the U.S. delay tactics, many more thousands of indigenous Palestinian civilians were violently slaughtered. As alternative media options come in, we'll post more of them here.
