'Our interpretation of UNSC resolution on Gaza cease-fire 'non-binding': US State Dept

Рет қаралды 70,629

Күн бұрын

During a press briefing, journalist challenged US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller regarding the characterization of the UNSC Ceasefire Resolution as 'non-binding.' 'We didn't veto because we thought the language, as it relates to the cease-fire, and the release of hostages, was consistent with the long-standing United States position,' Miller added. According to the UN Charter, all Security Council resolutions are legally binding under international law. Israel is in compliance with the Biden administration’s national security memorandum, which says any country receiving weapons from the US must provide 'credible and reliable' assurances that they’re following humanitarian law.

I have never experienced such hypocrisy, contradiction, criminalities, racism, unhumanitarian, and nazism at such degree and such level in my entire life

@JaiRudraNath Ай бұрын

People in the west don’t have any idea how much evil Muslims embrace in the name of religion.. Jews and Hindus who have suffered the most know it very well.. because 60-70 million Jews died in last 2000 years both in hands of Christians during crusades + Islamic invasions, Assyrians and Nazis, 500 million Hindus died in last 1400 years mainly because of Islam.. 71% of Gaza population believes Oct 7 attack was justified in a recent vote.. pls listen to Israel envoy to UN speech Hamas has not arrived from Mars in thousands .. nor nature creates serial killer like psychopaths at scale.. they are indoctrinated like Nazis, like ISIS and like Hamas .. using the same tool the rest of Gazans read, or the entire Islamic world.. There is no evidence so far that suggests Israel is targeting civilians on purpose.. If the west today goes against Israel, tomorrow it will pay a huge price like Europe is paying now.. Like US paid in 9/11 .. No one went against US when it responded to 9/11 and they responded in a much greater way than Israel did after Oct 7..

With other words: its nice to have the UN for the formality and we decide whether we act upon it based on our interests. This confirms my conviction that the UN is an organization invented to legalize the criminal actions of US and its allies and it has zero power against the big economies. Poor countries have to follow each letter of the resolutions otherwise US and UK, etc. wil come in military action.
