I'm just waiting for the world leaders, one after another, to cut all ties with both these entities. Will they dare? Will they form a new alliance? Will the world unite against the true tyrants? Stay tuned.
They won't unite out of morality, but preservation.
Unfortunately, there may still be a long way to go, assuming the leadership doesn't deny reality up until the nuke launches start.
The Israel's "anti-jew/antisemitic" rhetoric only works with the west, so it could take a very long time for leaders with bigger balls to just say "that's not gonna work anymore". USA is currently on the path to self isolation.
It's already happening, but it's in usually a slow disentangling of payment systems, software, tech, ... Just cut and run would be very damaging. And like many things in politics it's often two steps forward one step back.
If the idiots can't see the trend yet, will they ever?
To the idiots, the trend is that the US and Israel are the only great countries on earth.
Shithole countries
How to locate evil forces: start asking questions about human rights. Noted.
Oh the two war criminal nations? No shit? The two humanitarian violators? You don't say?
I'd like a list of all UN resolutions that (almost only) the USA & Israel vetoed, pretty please.
Israel doesn't have veto powers as they're not in the security council. They can only vote 'no'.
Well, a particularly jarring one is the USA's refusal to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Everyone else, including Israel, has ratified it, except them.
Because they want child labour, and to be able to keep executing children, and bombing schools, apparently.
Nestlé, claiming to be the country of Hydra, claimed a cultural and historic right to all the world's fresh water, stating that it was promised to them 3000 years ago.
Yea, and the US "vote" is actually a veto. The US needs to lose its UN veto power because of shit like this.
No, it's not. This resolution was adopted with a vote of 186-2-0. https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3954949?ln=en&v=pdf
Right, and the dumb part now is that nobody in the world expects this to mean shit. Even if it would have been unanimous.
You don't solve world hunger with UN votes. You solve it with technological and economical advancement, by advancing women's rights and with better access to contraceptives.
Honestly, the UN has been a farce for a long time because of this exact issue. If a handful of countries have veto power then the whole point of the group was moot from the beginning.
I'm starting to think that Israel is where most of the evil in the world comes from.
The US and Israel at this point are just the axis of evil to the rest of the world.
The USA is a shit hole country with a shit hole leader
Living in the US as somebody who pays attention to the world and cares about people and stuff is absolutely surreal sometimes.
It's especially so when you're one of the last people to have had an analog childhood (The Oregon Trail generation represent) so all the adults you knew as a child grew up in the post-ww2 prosperity and genuinely believed all the American exceptionalism stuff.
The only thing it seems we are best at is striking the perfect evil balance where I can't decide if it feels more Black Mirror or more Hunger Games.
But the resolution passed anyway, which is why world hunger has disappeared.
I am shocked. Shocked!
Well not that shocked.
The article would be better if it linked to the reasons for the no votes and critiqued them. Otherwise, it's just low effort outrage bait. To be clear, I don't think the no votes were justified. I just don't like low effort outrage bait.
Edit: Not https://geneva.usmission.gov/2017/03/24/u-s-explanation-of-vote-on-the-right-to-food/
The explanation given in this link is complete hogwash.
A slave empire can't function without extreme deprivation.
Israel will be responsible for a second holocaust against them. And this time no one will help.
I always thought it rather odd the country that gained its (unofficial) statehood because of a genocide of its own people have actively participated in committing one themselves. All by playing an oppressed victim.
A constitutional ethnostate being bigoted?!
This is what nationalism always leads to - exclusion and genocide. Even if it's founding myth was resistance against those things.
The nation state is the greatest tool of oppression known to man.
Israel: we disagree because we don't believe our enemies deserve human rights.
USA: yeah, and can't profit off of people or oppress foreigners if you guarantee people food, either.
I know at least one of those countries is way overfed.
Overfed with low nutrition and high subsidised fructose slop
Insert the smuggie of "Any UN vote ever"
"Insert good thing here" Everyone else: Yes US and Israel: No
God we are the worst fucking countries
The fuck is wrong with US???
I think it would actually be easier to list what is NOT wrong with the US lol, cos that woulld make for a very short list lol
Oh boy, where to start?
There's nothing mild about the fury this inspires in me.
Isn't also North Korea in the UN? Imagine North Korea does something better than the US lol.
The US has done things far worse than what North Korea has done. Every ten years your "democracy" bombs another country.
