minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21arrow-down10·edit-28 months ago The United States abstained, allowing it to pass. Oh wow, look at the absolute bare fucking minimum… Now Israel is surely in trouble after a non binding resolution…
minus-squareLinkerbaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·8 months agoActually it is binding. America just said right afterwards that it was non binding. Which is a lie.
minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·8 months agoIt’s as binding as international law… Something that Israel violates all the time. It’ll be “binding” when UN forces move in to stop the genocide, or Israel stops on their own. I don’t expect either to happen. And consider it was for “immediate” ceasefire, and there hasn’t been a ceasefire… Pretty obvious it’s not being enforced.
