It omits why the U.S. vetoed it, which is that no one was willing to condemn Hamas or address how a cease fire would only encourage Hamas to carry out more attacks against Israel because they have shown no desire to end their attacks. No one has presented any support to find and stop Hamas attacks, only for Israel to end their attacks.

So a cease fire would only last as long as the next Hamas attack.

Edit: downvoted for sharing the U.S. side. Interesting. Anyone have a solution for stopping Hamas let alone actually condemning them in a movee to stop Israel's attacks?

Well one idea would be to stop occupying Palestine. You know, their one wish list item they've had for their entire 40 years of existence.

What you are saying is the US vetoed it because they accept the false dichotomy in the Israeli narrative of the situation.

Oh no is this poor bot being antisemetic? :(

Just missing context, which is important and why we shouldn't rely on bots for getting all the news that matters.

Yeah, I would agree if this comment had REALLY been about the bot's performance. Instead it turns into ass kissing Israel.
