 Unhinged Biden claims binding UN Security Council Gaza ceasefire resolution is ‘non-binding.’

After 4 tries the UN Security Council Monday passed a binding resolution demanding “an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire.” While the US didn’t veto it, their abstention allowed the other 14 Security Council member to pass the resolution with yea votes.

But the US abstention now required the US to follow the binding resolution and cease its 6 month long enabling of the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

What to do? Since the Biden administration has no intention of ending its genocidal support, it unilaterally declared the binding resolution was non-binding.

America’s UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who cast the abstention, said “We fully support some of the critical objectives in this nonbinding resolution.”

White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby followed Thomas-Greenfield by calling the resolution “nonbinding” four times. “Number one, it’s a nonbinding resolution. So, there’s no impact at all on Israel and Israel’s ability to continue to go after Hamas.”

A short time later State Department spokesperson Matt Miller also called the resolution “nonbinding” three times.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres denounced Biden’s disreputable, illegal and disheartening abrogation of international law. “This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.” UN deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq added, “All the resolutions of the Security Council are international law. They are as binding as international laws.”

Pedro Comissario UN envoy of Mozambique, a non-permanent Security Council said “All United Nations Security Council resolutions are binding and mandatory. It is the hope of the 10 (non-permanent members) that the resolution adopted today will be implemented in good faith by all parties.”

Even America’s foreign policy poodle Great Britain abandoned America’s trashing of international law. Their envoy stated “We expect all Council resolutions to be implemented. This one is not any different. The demands in the resolution are absolutely clear.”

President Biden is so obsessed with supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, he’s descended into Orwellian rhetoric to erase international law from the US diplomatic toolbox.

Trump more blatant about supporting Israeli genocide in Gaza than Biden

When it comes Israeli genocide in Gaza, President Biden speaks mutely…but wields a genocidal stick. Fully aware he’s enabling the genocide of 2,300,000 Palestinians there, he conducts his endless support with weapons, vetoes or abstentions of UN ceasefire resolutions by pretending all he’s doing is defending a ‘great ally.’

But no such reticence from Trump. He glories in cheering on the Israeli slaughter there. He boasted he’d have done the same thing as Israel but chides Israel: “You (Israel) gotta get it done. And, I am sure you will do that. And we gotta get to peace, we can’t have this going on. And I will say, Israel has to be very careful, because you’re losing a lot of the world, you’re losing a lot of support, you have to finish up, you have to get the job done”

For Trump, the ongoing US enabled genocide in Gaza boils down to a PR problem. If only Israel finishes off the Palestinians, they will stop losing worldwide support.

Good grief. We have the incumbent presidential candidate quietly enabling genocide in Gaza. We have the challenger publically demanding Israel “get the job (genocide) done.”

US to Palestinians: ‘Tighten your belts, our food pier still 2 months away’

 US to Palestinians: ‘Tighten your belts, our food pier still 2 months away’

US ships heading toward Gaza to build America’s food delivering pier are sputtering along at 10 to 15 knots. The USVA Gen. Frank Besson Jr has been refueling in the Azores since Friday. Once underway it still has 5,000 miles to traverse before reaching destination. All other ships are behind the Besson, with 2 not having left the US yet.

With starvation rampant in Gaza, thanks to US enabling the Israeli genocide there, Uncle Sam sure is taking his sweet time creating infrastructure to deliver food aid. It won’t do much good even if completed since Israel blocks most aid in entering Gaza. Might be that our benevolent Uncle is giving Israel time to complete their genocidal ethnic cleansing so we can just pack up and go home.

If the US treated the Berliners being starved by the Russians in 1948 like they’re treating the Palestinians being starved in Gaza, Berlin would have fallen to the Russkies pretty damn quick.

President Biden dipped his big toe into the peace pool at the UN Security Council Monday. He abstained from a strong Security Council resolution calling for ”immediate ceasefire during the month long Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire and release of all hostages. “

After vetoing 3 previous strong ceasefire resolutions to protect Israel’s destruction of Gaza, and 3 countries vetoing America’s weak, non ceasefire effort, Biden finally threw in the towel under relentless worldwide pressure to stop the slaughter.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not happy with the first US abandonment of Israel at the UN. He cancelled his delegation’s trip to the White House to ‘review’ his plans to invade Rafah, crammed with 1.5 million Palestinian refugees that will likely goose get the current ghastly 32,000 Palestinian death toll there.

As troubling as the UN ceasefire call should be diplomatically to Netanyahu and his crazed war cabinet, it has not and will not stop their unrelenting 6 month effort to remove all 2,300,000 Palestinians from Gaza. That waterfront property is too precious to Israel not to waste on the people they label ‘vermin.’ Netanyahu has been signaling for weeks Israel will invade Rafah with or without US support. Now that likely includes the UN as well.

Biden should forget his big toe and fling his whole self into the peace pool. He must immediately cut off all military aid to Israel. He must demand Israel end their invasion and ghoulish blockade of food, water and medicine likely killing hundreds of kids and their moms daily. He must vigorously push for immediate substantive negotiations for a free and independent Palestinian state.

Anything less will keep the moral stain of genocide clinging to Biden like super glue.
