U.S. vetoes U.N. resolution denouncing violence against Palestinians
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States vetoed on Friday a Kuwaiti-drafted U.N. Security Council resolution that condemned Israel’s use of force against Palestinian civilians, underlining Washington’s differences with friends and foes alike over the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Later, a second, U.S.-drafted resolution that blamed Hamas for the violence and upheld Israel’s right to defend itself failed to attract any other country’s support when it was put to vote in the 15-member council.
By the terms of the draft put forward by the delegation of Kuwait — which was rejected by a vote of 10 in favour to 1 against (((United States))), with 4 abstentions (Ethiopia, Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom), owing to a veto by one permanent member — the Council would have deplored Israel’s use of “excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate force” against Palestinian civilians.
Meanwhile, a separate draft resolution submitted by the United States was also rejected by a vote of 1 in favour (((United States))) to 3 against (Bolivia, Kuwait, Russian Federation) with 11 abstentions, owing to an insufficient number of affirmative votes. By the terms of that text — containing various amendments to Kuwait’s draft — the Council would have described Hamas, the organization currently in power in Gaza, as a terrorist group.
Nicely organized, OP. At least there's discussion of Israel being condemned. As with the election of Trump, no matter what he actually accomplishes, at least their dissent. The day there is unity is the day a side has won.

You know, there are times when I think the US could be more jewed than it already is. But then things like this happen, and I realise that's impossible.

Donald Trump is, has always been, and will always be, pro-Israel. If you support him, you support Bibi. It's that simple.

Couldn't even just abstain. No they had to literally go and vote the exact opposite of everyone else and make a point of doing it too.

Trump is a ZOG-bot, and you need to be pretty dense to not understand that by now.
Oliver Reed
Who cares as long as he copies Israel's immigration policy?
A ZOGbot furthers jewish interests. Jewish interests are against white interests.
It's that simple. Only a kike shill and a chesscuck would defend ZOGnald.

I hope Trump got a good price for it.
Australia also supported Israel in a recent UN (not security council) resolution to investigate the shooting of Palestinians.
This is the shittiest of shitty ad hominems. You accuse me of being a chesscuck yet you tell me that it is somehow against white interests to decrease immigration into white majority countries. Hillary lost. Donald won. The year is 2018. Have a cry, soyboy.
