US threatens to veto new Gaza ceasefire resolution at UN Security Council
The United States Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield warned that if the Algerian proposed resolution calling for humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza were to come up for a vote as drafted, it would not be adopted by Washington.
Biden really doesn't want these Muslim votes it seems.
Biden is a white christofascist just like Trump. But liberals think he is the saviour.
I ask this a lot, but why prefix fascist with Christo? ALL European fascism has always been Christian and explicitly so. It's an inheritance from the Holy Roman Empire that dominated Europe and engaged in ethnic cleansing in the name of God. It's the same Christian Manifest Destiny that genocide the indigenous in the western hemisphere. It's the same Christianity that led to an explicit policy of rape by the Spanish all over Latin America to breed out the unclean blood and save as many souls as possible. It's never NOT been Christian.
Just call it what it is. It's fascism. It's the same fascism.
Unfortunately that's only like 1% if not less. Not that voting is an effective vehicle change on its own anyways.
Muslim votes are what can prevent him from winning states like Michigan. Percentage of the popular vote doesn't matter, the electoral college does.
Not defending Biden, but seriously if you were a Muslim voter would you rather vote for Trump then? I can only assume he isn't very popular with those voters either, so they are left with very little choice and not voting for Biden is more or less the same as voting for Trump.
Maybe
Imran Khan was "coincidentally" able to gain a majority in Pakistan after 20 years trying with his party. He wasn't perfect, but he targeted a lot of corruption and revamped the economy by convincing big companies to enter and expand business there, especially in the tech sector.
He had decent relations with the USA because Imran Khan met Trump several times long before he became president, probably due to his status as a cricket captain.
Then Trump got replaced for handling covid like a [insert favorite insult], and magically Imran Khan and the USA became cold again just like Obama. Biden outright refused to talk to IK and kept sending his defence secretary to demand US bases in Pakistan while leaving Afghanistan.
Then the moment IK showed a hint of resistance, they told the army to get rid of him or face consequences. Now he's sitting in jail, banned from being shown or mentioned on TV, banned from direct internet access, and banned from having his party run in elections. Oh and several of his party members are dead, hundreds if not thousands tortured, and internet cuts with police deployments whenever his supporters try to rally together.
Naturally the economy self destructed, every corrupt politician came back since they're in bed with the army, and elections were unconstitutionallly delayed for an entire year (and just happened 2 weeks ago).
So a Muslim nation of 231 million suffered because the USA loves "spreading democracy" by approving coups and getting people killed all because they dared to have sovereignty.
Except magically it only happened under Biden and not Trump.
So yes. There is a pretty good chance Muslims will vote for Trump.
Y'all are... tiring... I'm just gonna copypaste my answer to an other comment of the same thread:
Y’all keep saying that but I have yet to see any of you point any actual material difference between Trump’s presidency vs during Biden’s presidency.
What changed after the transition from Trump to Biden except rhetoric? As far as I know, oppressed minorities kept having their rights taken away 1 by 1 the same as before, police kept being over funded the same as before, migrants from the southern border kept being detained in literal concentration camps at the border the same as before, things kept getting more financially difficult for the average American every day the same as before, big polluter corporations kept polluting without consequences the same as before, the military budget kept getting ramped up every year the same as before, what is different in the real world outside the clown-show that is your political system? Where the fuck does that “not good but definitely better” goes when you stop going by the words of these known serial liars for to seconds and take a peak at what as changed in the actual lives of the American people?
The only difference I see is that the Republicans is taking an active approach and pass laws directly whereas the Democrats is more passive and like to let the Republicans and other far right parties pass laws while standing there awkwardly and pretending they can do nothing about it.
He knows they have no choice. If its not him, it would be Trump. Since people in Gaza have little money, Trump wouldnt care if IDF wipe them out
That's true but that's not stopping Muslims (particularly in Michigan) from running dropping Biden, or even voting for Trump, campaigns. The idea is to show Biden that they're not all talk, but either way his reaction tells us he doesn't "know" anything.
Just a hypothetical question but how many Palestinians have to die for the US to vote to support a ceasefire? Or how many more war crimes Israel has to commit to stop them sending weapons.
The US should realise that sending them weapons empowers Israel and gives them the sense of impunity that no matter what they do they will always get a pass.
No one should be higher than basic humanitarian and international laws and with this war we clearly are showing our double standards.
@filister all of them.
The US showed its double standards way back when it passed a law authorising itself to use military force against the international criminal courts if we ever tried to hold an American accountable for war crimes or crimes against humanity.
But yeah I think what's happening right now is a very powerful reminder of that, and isn't being lost on the rest of the world.
The United States is completely aware of the atrocities being committed and no amount of additional war crimes will change its position.
Its interests in the region that it views as necessary to maintaining its global hegemonic power are viewed as more important than any action by an allied actor even to the extent of what a decently large portion of its populace deems genocide.
I think our trash leadership care more about the footprint of the land than the feet of the people on that land. They kill our people off when they consider us as in the way as well, unfortunately.
I think your trash leadership cares more about oil than human lives and call me conspiracy theorists, but weren't they discovered a significant natural gas reserves in Gaza, which Israel either doesn't want for Palestine to start working on or either want to take completely over. And making Gaza inhabitable and pushing Palestinians to Sinai might as well be part of their plan to do exactly that, using Hamas' attack as an excuse.
Why wouldn't the country that sells the most weapons do this? They have everything to gain from more wars.
And somehow Westerners want us to believe that if the world was lead by China we will be worse off?
One can be bad, and the other definitely worse.
Correct: Are We The Baddies? 📺
List of Atrocities committed by US authorities
I swear Canadians believe in America exceptionalism even more than we ourselves do.
Correct; the USA is definitely worse.
Settler-level, vibes-based, "muh treats"-factored analysis. Don't you have a historically Black neighborhood to be gentrifying
I'm not with the communist crowd, but a significant fraction of the global population would be better off with China in control of world affairs. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be an East Asian in that world, but the Middle East and Africa for starters would definitely be better than they are now.
"definitely"
did nazi that coming
Time to send the US representatives families to Gaza I guess.
We'd have better luck bringing Gaza to them.
Who would have thought this black American does not care about Muslims? It seems clearer by the day how non-white people fight amongst each other and keep white Anglos winning. As long as her ambassador job is safe, Palestinians and Muslims can go die I guess.
Not all of us are captured by the Black Misleadership Caucus. Too many of us, yeah; but not all of us, not yet.
Death to America
