Lets hope the genocide ends.

UNSC passes resolution demanding immediate ceasefire in Gaza
- Thread starter Frankfooter
- Start date
The UN HRC will publish a report saying Israel is committing genocide.
Watch Israel flout UN resolutions once again. Absolutely shameful by the US. It is appalling and disgusting how the deaths of 35000 people still does not sway the US to vote in favour of a resolution calling for a ceasefire.
The use forced the change of the word 'permanent' to 'lasting' ceasefire, which means its a 2 week ceasefire.
But this marks the first time that the US has allowed a resolution against Israel to pass at the UNSC, which is momentous in of itself.
What is a 2 week ceasefire going to do lol. Everything the US does is absolutely meaningless nonsense. It will be a long time before Palestinians see any justice.
We'll see.
I expect it'll take more than two weeks to plan and start implementing hostage releases.
And if aid and the press gets into Gaza its going to make restarting it harder.
Netanyahu's only plan is to attack Rafah, where 1.5 million refugees are sheltering and which he has zero support for doing.
Its a big question whether Netanyahu can play this one like he did the previous temporary truce.
Its not a permanent ceasefire and its way too late but its something.
Here's the nitty gritty of behind the scenes and how US finally caved with a huff.
The UNSC seriously needs to be expanded. It is ridiculous how ineffective the UN is because of the UNSC.
They have already been denied justice for many years, at least since 1967, so it's a surprise?
Of course Israel won't abide.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on X his country would not abide by the resolution.
“The state of Israel will not cease fire,” Katz said. “We will destroy Hamas and continue to fight until the last of the hostages returns home.”

Odds of Hamas listening to the UNSC and "immediately and unconditionally" releasing all their hostages? 0%
Odds of Frank caring about Hamas not complying? 0%
It would not take 2 weeks for Hamas to release the hostages. It would take less than a day as all they need to do is send out and order and tell Israel when they can expect the release. The only cases it would take longer is for the hostages in such poor heath condition.

They demanded a ceasefire. Along with hostage release of course. But they demanded a ceasefire which my quote shows that Israel won't abide. Are you going to be disingenuous and lie that Israel is playing by the rules?
Israel has 7000 Palestinian hostages.
How long will it take them to be released?
Israel is not abiding by the ICJ Genocide ruling, they are now not abiding by the UNSC ceasefire call.
Yes, I said it then, I said it when Russia has used it and I said it each of the 4 times the US used it to prolong the genocide.
More from the UN report on the Israeli genocide.
A/HRC/55/73
Palestine and the context of genocide
10. Historical patterns of genocide demonstrate that persecution, discrimination and other preliminary stages prepare the ground for the annihilation stage of genocide.20 In Palestine, displacing and erasing the Indigenous Arab presence has been an inevitable part of the forming of Israel as a ‘Jewish state’.21 In 1940, Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Colonization Department stated: “there is no room for both peoples, together in this country. The only solution is Palestine without Arabs. And there is no other way but to transfer all of them: not one village, not one tribe should be left.”22
11. Practices leading to the mass ethnic cleansing of Palestine’s non-Jewish population occurred in 1947–1949, and again in 1967, when Israel occupied the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip with mass displacement of hundreds of thousands, killings, destruction of villages and towns, looting and the denial of the right to return of expelled Palestinians.
They demanded an immediate ceasefire.
Both sides can't return hostages until after the immediate ceasefire.
This must really piss you off.
You've been clear that demanding hostages be released for a temporary ceasefire is demanding Hamas give up its leverage and completely unacceptable.
