It's pretty much the same outcome everytime. The US and some tiny Island states they essentially bribe voting against, along with the occasional Euro nation being driven by historic guilt. Rest of the world voting in favour, Europe largely abstaining.The countries supporting Genocide

Likewise in the security council with the US vetoing and Britain abstaining, like clockwork everytime.
The whole thing is spectacularly pointless and a waste of time.

That would've worked if they went into Israel on 10.7 and kidnapped a few Israelis and the Israelis responded with bombing, after which negotiations would've begun and probably ended in them getting their hostages back in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
As it stands today, the amount of damage done in Israel on 10.7 will result in the complete destruction of Hamas in Gaza followed by a probable Israeli occupation, so there likely won't be a meaningful or relevant Hamas in Gaza for new members to join.
Hamas did get a couple of things out of this. They got a temporary pause in the Israel-Saudi normalization deal, which had it been implemented, would've been bad business in terms of Arab support for Hamas; particularly as the Israelis are also normalizing relations with Arab states through the Abraham Accords (which included Bahrain, UAE, Morocco, and Sudan). They also did manage to bring the Palestinian issue back into the news, but not in any meaningful or productive way to their goals, particularly as they themselves are probably not going to exist for much longer.

George Weah turned out to be a cnut though that's not entirely surprising considering he picked a career in politics.
So is Sierra Leone's. I imagine the links to the US explain the difference in votes.Liberia's origin story is fairly similar to Israel's

Something is hitting different tonight. We (in Sweden) have the most pro-Israel government we’ve ever had in our recent history and they still switched tonight from “abstain” to a Yeay vote.
17 EU countries voted for this time, compared to only 8 on the previous resolution.… All of EU closest partners in Europe also voted for (Norway, Switzerlan…) and even beyond Europe. I was surprised to see Canada and Australia vote yes. It seems like the US didn’t lobby hard enough this time.
given that they had time to clear it out and then rig it with explosives, what is the strategic reason to create rubble? would make it hard for tanks to move around. or do they expect hamas to appear in areas they've won and start sniping them from the building or something?
because, if there's no strategic purpose, there is a very obvious other purpose which is in line with their actions and public statements.
Former Obama advisors taking another L (at least this time it wasn't the actual advisor themselves, but close enough)...
This is just what manages to reach us, I imagine much worse is happening every day.
Remember that it took decades for the story of their army burning Egyptian captives alive in 1967 to come out.

I mean, like every poll ever I think sensible people will interpret it as 70% of those polled rather than extrapolating to infants.Quite the incredible support, especially when 45% of the Gazan population is under 15.
Let's nip it in the bud and kill them all. Just to be sure.

It's quite interesting how flippant and exaggerated responses are to such a video. Kind of proves his point about what is allowed to be said.
I don't find it hard to hold both the view that what Israel is doing in Gaza is unjustifiable and grotesque, and at the same time acknowledge that statistically and demonstrably there are different levels of violence committed in the name of different religions today.
