    The US and Israel at this point are just the axis of evil to the rest of the world.

    I’m just waiting for the world leaders, one after another, to cut all ties with both these entities. Will they dare? Will they form a new alliance? Will the world unite against the true tyrants? Stay tuned.

      They won’t unite out of morality, but preservation.

      Unfortunately, there may still be a long way to go, assuming the leadership doesn’t deny reality up until the nuke launches start.

      It’s already happening, but it’s in usually a slow disentangling of payment systems, software, tech, … Just cut and run would be very damaging. And like many things in politics it’s often two steps forward one step back.

      The Israel’s “anti-jew/antisemitic” rhetoric only works with the west, so it could take a very long time for leaders with bigger balls to just say “that’s not gonna work anymore”. USA is currently on the path to self isolation.

      These resolutions are designed to make some countries look bad. Somewhere in the small print there’s a point unacceptable for the US and Israel, so they vote against and newspapers world-wide can report on how US and Israel alone blocked the end of famine.

          […] the resolution also contains many unbalanced, inaccurate, and unwise provisions the United States cannot support. This resolution does not articulate meaningful solutions for preventing hunger and malnutrition or avoiding their devastating consequences.

          The United States is concerned that the concept of “food sovereignty” could justify protectionism or other restrictive import or export policies […]

          We also do not accept any reading of this resolution or related documents that would suggest that States have particular extraterritorial obligations arising from any concept of a “right to food,” which we do not recognize and has no definition in international law.

          https://usun.usmission.gov/explanation-of-vote-of-the-third-committee-adoption-of-the-right-to-food-resolution/

          tl;dr:

          1. The USA doesn’t think the resolution actually does anything useful, even if it supports the intention
          2. The USA, the largest exporter of food, is concerned how the resolution might impact food exports
          3. The USA doesn’t recognize the imposition of legal obligations to act outside of its own territory

          I think i ahould preface the following because it sounds more neutral than I meant it to. TBC I condone neither of these positions, nor do I mean this to be argumentative with your possition, but rather collaborative:

          I suspect the objection is to the calling out of / reminder that destruction of water facilities as a war crime, which seems to be something both sides have done/ been threatening in the Iran war, as well as the call out to allow UN/ other humanitarian aid groups unfettered access in warzones. Which seems like it conflicts with Israel’s contentions with UNRWA.

          Keep waiting, reading useless and pointless UN resolutions is not a hobby I have. I’m not against the UN, I think it’s a needed organization, but this kind of pointless resolutions only makes it look bad and only feeds anti-UN positions within its biggest sponsor and host: the US.

          So good luck with pointless resolutions aimed at the guy paying for the circus…

    Israel: we disagree because we don’t believe our enemies deserve human rights.

    USA: yeah, and can’t profit off of people or oppress foreigners if you guarantee people food, either.
