Image To answer some questions I saw and provide a bit more context, 1) No, the US cannot veto this. It can vote against it, but no country has veto power in the General Assembly. The US can, however, use bullying tactics such as threatening aid to certain countries, in order to pressure them to vote against the resolution.

What did your “thorough review of the facts” entail @PhxChildrens? Because it looks like you just obeyed commands of a well-known smear group instead of considering:
1. Nothing in Fidaa’s post was directed at Jews, period. 2. Fidaa’s comments were directed at a state engaged in the relentless bombing of her family and friends, killing 247 people in just 11 days last month, 67 of them children.
3. That onslaught was the 4th large-scale military assault on Gaza in 12 years.

Mainstream media has spent days reporting on Israeli coalition talks without mentioning that the man slated to be new PM - Naftali Bennett - has bragged about "kill[ing] lots of Arabs"; and the #2 in Bennett's party - Ayalet Shaked - has called for genocide against Palestinians; Referring to the above as "conservative" or "hardline" is normalizing Israeli apartheid & violence against Palestinians. There should be no coverage that doesn't mention & condemn the violent racism and ethno-national-religious supremacy embodied by Bennett and his party.

#GazaUnderAttack
For anyone justifying Israel's murderous actions with "Israel has a right to defend itself":

1. Israel is not engaged in self-defense. Israel has imposed a punishing and deadly closure on Gaza for 15 years. This is collective punishment, illegal. 2. The Gaza closure, sometimes called "blockade" or "siege" is equivalent to an act of war. However, because Israel is the occupying power in Gaza and, therefore, legally responsible for the health and well-being of the population, we don't use the war paradigm.
