US vetoes Palestinian request for full UN membership
Washington blocks security council resolution supported by 12 member countries, with two abstentions including UK
The US has vetoed a Palestinian request to the United Nations security council for full UN membership, blocking the world body’s recognition of a Palestinian state.
The vote in the 15-member security council was 12 in favor, the US opposed and two abstentions, the UK and Switzerland.
US officials had been hoping Washington could avoid use of its veto if other states objected to a draft resolution before the council recommending the “State of Palestine be admitted to membership of the United Nations”.
We are the bad guys. Demanding Palestine beg the people genociding them for statehood? Get fucked Biden.
Self-determination, a founding principle of liberalism, is only for pale skins, silly billies.
