      So we’re not allowed to provide commentary in the submissions?

      Just to be clear, the original title highlighted the fact that US is a genocidal regime. US is openly supporting and facilitating the genocide in Gaza by Israel. There is no rule on this subreddit that titles for submissions cannot be editorialized to provide additional context. So, on what basis were you threatening to remove my submission?

    There’s a theory that the US would have vetoed the resolution no matter what, in order to give israel some time to prepare to completion of their ground assault into Gaza.

    In other words, the israeli’s aren’t ready to start their ground assault and the US provided cover for them until they’re ready. A humanitarian ceasefire/ pause, had the resolution been passed, would have interfered with the next step in their genocidal war against the palestinians.
