The United Nations Security Council on Monday delayed an expected vote on a new Gaza cease-fire resolution as the U.S. worked to weaken the measure’s language, objecting to the proposed call for an “urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities.”
Unfortunately jackpot’s right. The U.S. has been “affording it” since 1967, and it won’t stop now. If you actually do explain the history with regard to international law I think you’ll come to the same conclusion, cynical as it is.
