Thomas-Greenfield said the United States was disappointed the draft resolution made no mention of Israel’s rights of self defense and she blamed Hamas for the Gaza humanitarian crisis.
While I can agree with that first part, there is no way you can blame Hamas for the current humanitarian crisis. They are not the ones blockading Gaza and destroying all of the infrastructure.
It’s nice throwing around words like Nazi until it loses all meaning, huh?

Oh no… Israel barely escaped from strongly worded condemnation.
US propping up the Nazis, must be tech advancements to be had or something.
The Reuters equivalent of The Onion’s ‘No Way To Prevent This’ article.
It’s what bad guys in movies say when they hurt or kill someone because the protagonist didn’t do what they wanted. “This is your fault” “This blood is on your hands” “You made me do this”
Authoritative aggressive government actively committing a genocide while being appeased by the powers that be in the west.
If you can’t see the parallels that’s a you problem.
When does bibi get his salute?
There are serious concerns regarding potential genocide, and Netanyahu has always been a problematic, right-wing leader that flirts with authoritarianism. I would agree with you on that front, and it’s perfectly fine to draw parallels to other authoritarian regimes.
However, it shouldn’t take much to realize to that accusing a Jewish nation of being actual Nazis is not only insensitive, it’s antisemitic.
We can criticize Israel for very real issues. There is absolutely no reason to invent new ones.
I believe antisemitism is real and is an issue. I don’t believe in lying because it could be seen as antisemitism.
They are acting like Nazis, I’m not giving them a pass because they were the victims of nazis.that is why the comparison is so noteworthy.
It is likely that the generational trauma associated with their plight has caused this over reaction to become an aggressor with no value for human life, putting an entire people in to enclosed camps with little supplies. But that is where we are and I won’t do the Palestinians the injustice of arguing against the facts for fear of upsetting the Nazis.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The vote on the Brazilian-drafted text was twice delayed in the past couple of days as the United States tries to broker aid access to Gaza.
Ambassador Zhang Jun accused the United States of leading council members to believe that the resolution could be adopted after it did not comment or express opposition during negotiations.
Thomas-Greenfield said the United States was disappointed the draft resolution made no mention of Israel’s rights of self defense and she blamed Hamas for the Gaza humanitarian crisis.
The draft resolution also urged Israel - without naming it - to rescind its order for civilians and U.N. staff in Gaza to move to the south of the Palestinian enclave and condemns “the terrorist attacks by Hamas.”
It has vowed to annihilate Hamas after the Islamist militant group killed 1,400 people and seized hostages in an Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The draft U.N. resolution condemned all violence and hostilities against civilians and all acts of terrorism and called for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
