US United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield address the UN
2023-11-17
In which the Biden administration has Israel’s back — just so they can plant a very sharp knife in it.
[IsraelTimes] United States Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield is pressed to explain why the US allowed a Security Council resolution that called for humanitarian pauses in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
 and a release of all hostages to pass yesterday after vetoing a resolution a month ago that made those same two demands.

"Over 7,000 Paleostinians have died since Brazil put forward its resolution last month, does the United States regret not having abstained earlier?" Thomas-Greenfield is asked during a press stakeout at the UN.

"We made a decision on that resolution because that resolution did not provide for Israel’s rights of self-defense," Thomas-Greenfield responds.

A news hound pushes back, noting that the latest resolution makes no mention of Israel’s right to self-defense either, yet the US still abstained and allowed it to pass yesterday.

"This was a resolution that specifically addressed the humanitarian needs. The other resolutions did not," Thomas-Greenfield retorts.

Both yesterday’s and last month’s resolutions detailed the humanitarian needs in Gaza.
