Stop being a hypocrite and report that it was the U.S. that voted against the ceasefire.

[@Albe3331]

You might want to get your facts straight. Who vetoed the ceasefire in Gaza? UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Russia and China on Friday vetoed a U.S.-sponsored United Nations resolution supporting “an immediate and sustained cease-fire” in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, calling the measure ambiguous and saying it was not the direct demand to end the fighting that much of the world seeks. Or is this how Putin and Xi instructed you to comment?

JUDGEMENT

[@sabo7081]

The Palestinian authorities have made it very clear that they will not negotiate. There is no such thing as a good faith treaty with Islam. They are allowed to break that treaty when they decide it best serves Islam because the Koran tells them so. Hamas’s actions during this war, ie… taking and holding hostages as a bargaining chip, breaking a cease fire, preventing Palestinians from moving away from dangerous areas Israel warned would be invaded, stealing food and medical supplies meant for the people of Gaza, endangering civilian lives by using them as human shields and most importantly, declaring to the world, through videos, that they will continue to attempt the destruction of Israel unless Israel destroys Hamas’s existence completely, are not the actions of reasonable people, but the actions of psychopathic killers, ala a terrorist organization.

[@inshoreassassin]

You took the red pill of propaganda 😅

[@PURENT]

So when Russia broke their treaty with Ukraine, was that Islam? Or how about when the Brits broke the McMahon-Hussein agreement with the rebels in Palestine they backed and turned around and enacted Sykes-Picot/Balfour, was that Islam? And what's going on with Israel targeting civilians in the West Bank, there's no Hamas there?

[@memm2099]

you and your hate towards islam, you know zero about quran so you need to lie about it in your rant. hamas has asked for a ceasefire with deals of releasing the hotages, it's Netanyahu who doesn't want it because he wants to stay in power, when was hamas breaking the treaty , what about netanyayu releasing the palestinians who israel detained without trial and those that were kidnapped by IOF .
