US, go sit in a corner as long as you're not participating.

Only 2 weeks though
It'll only last till Eid, it's not nearly enough

Make it permanent. Nothing will undo the months of trauma and death, and the brutality Gazans have gone through. They deserve more than just a temporary ceasefire.

The US did not vote in favour as they claim the resolution failed to condemn Hamas

i truly fucking hate it here

The US and the UK can get in the bin over this.

I saw somewhere that the UK voted for this because they're conscious never to vote against the US but this time it wasn't technically 'against'. Our country is fucking ridiculous.

[egalitarianmuse]

Apparently the UK ambassador complained bc the resolution didn't denounce the October 7 attack. Like, enough.

Oh, the US is definitely ridiculous, in this and so many matters.

it's not enough but it's at least a tiny, teeny start.
