Israel has voted against a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling to reaffirm Ukraine’s territorial integrity, rejecting a strongly worded condemnation of Russia’s invasion of its neighbor on the third anniversary of the war.

Eighteen countries voted against the resolution, 93 voted in favor, and 65 abstained.

    Continuing to never hold Democrats accountable for their terrible decisions will surely improve the party this time, I suppose.

      We are fighting literal fascists. Do you really think blaming the non-fascists will prevent these dishonest actors from doing their worst to ruin your life? It is by far the stupidest and most unhelpful position to blame the failings of the democratic position for the rise of the autocrats, when the latter are actively working to get into power.

        I haven’t seen any evidence of the DNC fighting fascists at all.

        Does an ethnostate that is carrying out a genocide as part of its program of ethnic cleansing count as fascism? Now what do you call people who supply that ethnostate with billions in weapons?

          Well all I know is that now we’re going full-throttle on not one but 2 genocides, including the one in Ukraine with even less of a chance to dissuade this administration than the previous on either so… Overall I’d call them, better.

            That is so low of a bar to clear that it’s not noteworthy at all.

              I think it’s a pretty high bar to say that 2 genocides > 1 genocide and Option 2 was more persuadable than Option 1.

              But I’ll be sure to relay to Ukrainians that you believe, by extension, that they’re not noteworthy at all.

                Ukraine was never actually going to be granted membership into NATO, there is a reason for that. They’re being used as pawns. It’s not me who thinks of them as not noteworthy, but nice try with the guilt tripping, it won’t work on me.

        The ability for those on the left to eat each other up never disappoints.

      The punishment of the Democrats by electing Trump will surely improve the plight of Palestinians this time, I suppose.

        I dont think you should blame democratic voters for the DNC leaders ignoring them and doing whatever donors pay them to do.

          Neat.

          Now Donald Trump will handle things. Surely, the plight of Palestinians will improve, now that the nasty democrats have been punished.
