    Wonder what the actual text was.

    Also if they really want a ceasefire why did they continue to veto?

    What’s next: The Security Council is expected to vote on an alternative resolution put forward by eight member states, calling for an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan to lead to a permanent ceasefire.

    That text also demands the release of all hostages without linking it to the ceasefire. The U.S. is expected to veto.

    apparently the issue is the US wants to add conditions for Hamas, releasing Israeli hostages and condemning Hamas.

    I think that’s gross but I think a ceasefire is more important

        it’s more, we’ll hold up a ceasefire by adding conditions for Israel while thousands of Palestinians are dying of hunger or simply shot. I think the hostages should be returned but that should simply be another negotiation.

        Personally I think the hostage release and condemning the initial act are fine but both sides holding up a ceasefire based on those details is terrible. People are dying at a sickening rate.

        “We live in one of the most hotly contested areas in the world by choice and act surprised when the people we’re oppressing fight back.”

        If Israelis didn’t want to be taken hostage, they could have left Israel. We got plenty of room for them over here in the good ol’ US of A.

        But they feel like they’re entitled to be there and get mad whenever reality sets in.
