The picture shows the topic of the Security Council vote, the Security Council voted, and the United States vetoed it. Russia is attacking the city, and Putin also wants to surrender without a fight. Ukraine is in a precarious position with 9 shortages.
On the afternoon of December 8, local time, the United Nations Security Council voted again on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, because of the opposition of one United States, the draft resolution on the humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza submitted by the United Arab Emirates failed to pass.
Specifically, 15 members of the Security Council voted in favor, with the United Kingdom abstaining and the United States voting against.
Before the vote, U.S. Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Wood said: "We do not support a resolution calling for an unsustainable ceasefire, which will only sow the seeds for the next war." ”
Meaning, anyway, stop now, and you have to fight later, so there is no need to stop, support to continue fighting.
Obviously, this reason, which is untenable, is a quibble, favoritism and connivance with Israel.
As soon as the vote ended, Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations, Erdan, couldn't help but say: "Thank you to the United States for standing firmly on our side, believing that a ceasefire is possible only by destroying Hamas." ”
After the vote, Ambassador Zhang Jun, our Permanent Representative to the United Nations, also made a remark, which expressed the aspirations of the majority of justice-upholding and peace-loving countries in the world today.
Ambassador Zhang Jun said: "At the heart of the UAE draft resolution is an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all detainees. Nearly 100 countries are participating in this draft, and China has also participated in the co-sponsorship. The Chinese side expresses its great disappointment and regret that this draft was vetoed by the United States......Two months of fighting have already caused unprecedented death and destruction, and an immediate ceasefire is the overriding prerequisite. On this issue, any negative attitude is untenable, and no amount of justification is weak. ”
Subsequently, Ambassador Zhang Jun made three very powerful sentences, and although he did not name them, he summed up the hypocrisy and double standards of the United States very incisively.
"It needs to be pointed out that it is contradictory to condone the continuation of the fighting while claiming to care about the safety of life and humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza," said Ambassador Zhang JunIt is self-deceptive to advocate the prevention of conflict spillover while conniving at the continuation of the warIt is also extremely hypocritical to condone the continuation of the war while talking about the protection of women, children and human rights. All of this shows us once again what a double standard is. ”
In conclusion, Ambassador Zhang Jun once again expressed China's attitude, saying: "Despite the veto of the draft resolution, the strong call of the international community for a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities, the protection of civilians and the avoidance of greater humanitarian disasters will not be diminished, and the Security Council's efforts to uphold justice and fulfill its responsibilities will not stop." China urges Israel to heed the call of the international community and stop the collective punishment of the people in Gaza. China supports further diplomatic mediation to facilitate the early release of all detainees. China calls on all parties concerned to focus all their efforts on the common goal of quelling the fighting in Gaza, so as to give the Palestinian people hope for survival and peace for the Middle East region. ”
Please note that the two hopes mentioned by Ambassador Zhang Jun above are the hope of survival and the hope of peace in the Middle East.
This is actually very euphemistic, to put it bluntly, if Israel continues to fight, the United States supports to continue fighting, the Palestinians lose hope of living, if you don't let him live, he will inevitably die with you next, if you don't let him live, his seven aunts and eight aunts may also stand up in the future Ye and fight with you, if you don't let him live, the group of people who rode on the wall before will also be forced to end, this war will get out of control, and a war in the Middle East will be inevitable.
Therefore, Ambassador Zhang Jun's remarks were fair, rational, objective, righteous, frank and upright.
Today at the United Nations, those who can speak these fair words, dare to speak these fair words, and stand up to uphold justice, everyone thinks for themselves, who else?
We know that after two months of the war in Gaza, the world has today called a "ceasefire" or a "humanitarian pause", and there is no agreement on which term to use to describe ending the violence.
A "ceasefire" is "a cessation of all acts of violence against civilians", while a humanitarian moratorium is "a temporary cessation of hostilities for purely humanitarian purposes".
This conflict, in fact, is the same as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, tearing the world apart, tearing the world apart, dividing the world into three factions: "calling for a ceasefire", "calling for a pause", and "riding the wall".
On the 7th of the day before yesterday, Qatar's Al Jazeera TV made a statistical analysis based on the speeches of world leaders at the United Nations, and the conclusion was:
Fifty-five countries around the world have called for a "ceasefire" in Gaza. These countries include China, Argentina, Belgium, Guyana, Turkey, and Venezuela, among others.
23 countries called for a "humanitarian moratorium". These countries include countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Note that in other countries, the words "pause" or "pause" are used.
Of course, there are countries that don't speak at all.
It is precisely because of this fragmentation and hesitation and disagreement among countries that the Security Council has voted on the relevant draft resolution five times in the past period, but failed to adopt it on four occasions.
The picture shows the first draft resolution submitted by Russia on October 16, the first draft resolution of Russia's representative to the United Nations, calling for an immediate ceasefire. As a result, among the 15 members of the Security Council, four countries, the United States, Britain, France, and Japan, voted against it. The objection was based on the fact that the draft did not condemn Hamas by name.
The second time, two days later, on October 18, Brazil took the lead in pushing for the second resolution, which changed the rhetoric, the first time Russia called for an immediate ceasefire, this time Brazil called for a humanitarian moratorium, and at the same time, added condemnation of Hamas, this resolution received broad support, but in the end, the United States opposed it and vetoed it. The objection was based on the fact that the draft resolution made no reference to Israel's right to self-defence.
For the third time, one week later, on October 25, Russia again submitted a draft resolution to the Security Council, including the implementation of a lasting humanitarian ceasefire and condemnation of attacks against civilians, which was again vetoed by the United States, calling it a "malicious resolution" proposed by Russia.
Fourth, on the same day, October 25, the United States submitted a draft resolution to the Security Council, including the imposition of a humanitarian moratorium, the reaffirmation of the inherent right of all States to individual and collective self-defence, and restrictions on aid to Hamas. Ambassador Zhang Jun said: The US draft is seriously unbalanced, confuses right and wrong, does not reflect the strongest calls in the world for a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities, and does not help solve the problem.
The following day, on 26 October, the General Assembly held its tenth emergency special session and adopted a resolution by an overwhelming majority of 120 votes, condemning all acts of violence against Palestinian and Israeli civilians and calling for an immediate, lasting and lasting humanitarian truce leading to a cessation of hostilities. This is not a vote of the Council, and General Assembly resolutions are non-binding and have the force of international law. Even so, with 120 votes in favor, the United States voted against.
For the fifth time, in November, China took over the presidency of the Security Council, and with China's active efforts, on November 15, Malta proposed a resolution that included the urgent implementation of a long humanitarian moratorium and corridors with sufficient days, an appeal to Hamas to release the hostages, and the need for all parties to abide by international humanitarian law. Of the 15 members of the Security Council, 12 members, including China, voted in favor, while the United States and the United Kingdom abstained, arguing that the resolution failed to explicitly condemn Hamas. Russia also abstained, stressing that a humanitarian moratorium cannot be a substitute for an immediate ceasefire.
Yesterday, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) submitted a draft resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, which failed to pass because one of the United States voted against it.
What do I think about this?
On the one hand, I think that we, as a human being, a normal person with love, kindness, and humanity, are saddened by the human tragedy in Gaza today, and we can't bear to look at it directly, and call for a moratorium, preferably a ceasefire. I believe that most of the countries and peoples of the world will be like this, so you see, during the conflict, Belize, Bolivia and South Africa severed diplomatic relations with Israel. Bahrain, Chad, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Jordan and Turkey recalled their ambassadors to Israel. This is all a diplomatic response by States against Israel's atrocities of collective punishment by the Palestinian people.
On the other hand, I believe that the fact that the United States has voted against it again and again is also a good thing for the people of the whole world to see, once again see the true colors of some countries and some politicians, and see what kind of goods they are.
I think a commentary in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post three days ago was very good and objective. Title: "Why is it here?""The Global South"At the same time as the rise of the West, the status of the Western powers has been damaged》
There's a passage in it.
The rest of the world outside the West has shown greater political wisdom in the context of the conflict in Ukraine and Palestine as a whole. The United States has caused both conflicts and must therefore bear direct responsibility for the consequences of the conflicts. But the United States has achieved neither immediate war goals nor larger geopolitical goals. In contrast, the position of the Global South suggests that most of these countries are not only on the right side of history, but also have stronger politically minded ...... than the West, led by WashingtonFor most countries of the world, de-dollarization becomes a necessity, not just a fantasy. They may be morally disgusted by Russia's actions in Ukraine, but the unprecedented sanctions imposed by the West, and the resulting economic and food crises, have taken a toll on many small and vulnerable economies. Poor countries are particularly suffering, yet people are told that this is a global moral crusade in which everyone has to participate. It is no wonder that most developing countries simply do not ...... about thisIsrael's war on the Palestinians has shown people around the world that when they conflict with U.S.-Western priorities, they belong"Wrong"When a racial or ethnic group is concerned, democracy and human rights, and even human life are simply not worth mentioning. Therefore, whether for the sake of long-term unity or political expediency, the vast majority of developing countries actively support the just cause of Palestine and condemn Israel's war. In the face of the West's continued political manipulation, the rest of the world has broken free from its shackles and parted ways with the West to come forward on the moral and historic issue of Palestine. ”
Therefore, whether you have seen it or not, the people's eyes are bright, and everyone can see it very clearly, that it was "the United States that caused these two conflicts."
Just imagine, without the support and conspiracy of some forces in the United States, would Zelensky be able to come to power?Just imagine, if there were no arches, fueling, and instigation from some forces in the United States, would Russia and Ukraine be able to fight?Just imagine, without the partiality and diplomatic cover of some US forces, would today's human tragedy in Gaza have happened?Perhaps these places have already ushered in peace, tranquility, and even prosperity.
You see, this time, after the United States single-handedly vetoed the ceasefire in Gaza, which was supported by more than 100 countries, Russia's deputy permanent representative to the UN, Polyansky, said: "Our American colleagues have sentenced thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Palestinian and Israeli civilians to death right under our noses." ”
And this time, even the French Permanent Representative to the United Nations, De Rivière, issued a statement saying: "At a time when the crisis in Gaza is worsening and threatening to spread, the Security Council is not fulfilling its basic mission under the Charter of the United Nations." Many members of the Council are equally disappointed. ”
"The United States continues to provide ** and diplomatic protection to Israel, which has committed atrocities, and risks complicit in war crimes," Human Rights Watch also wrote in a statement. ”
"I unreservedly condemn the October 7 attacks by Hamas, but the violence perpetrated by Hamas must not be a justification for collective punishment ...... the Palestinian people," UN Secretary-General António Guterres said yesterday morningWhile Hamas's indiscriminate firing of rockets into Israel and the use of civilians as human shields violate the laws of war, this does not excuse Israel's own violations. ”
Can you imagine what these people said today, a month or two ago?
Why do these people say that?Because I have done too much, I can't stand it. In fact, this is a huge damage to the soft power of the United States.
At the end of today's program, I suddenly thought of a sentence in "The Art of War", and I want to talk about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in connection with this sentence, because the two conflicts between Palestine and Israel, Russia and Ukraine are linked, and this sentence is actually the core of "The Art of War".
Sun Tzu said: Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also;The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. This means that winning a hundred battles is not the best of the best;It is the most brilliant to be able to bring the enemy to his knees without fighting.
A group of people in the United States are pursuing this point today, and they want to go through the war of the best people and surrender without a fight. From this point of view, Russia's launch of the special military operation can be regarded as falling into the trap of the United States, and it has no choice but to fight.
But if you continue to observe carefully, you will find that after the United States let Ukraine tear up the Istanbul agreement, Putin's strategy has also changed, and he is also pursuing this, pursuing "surrendering without a fight", since the war has begun, it hopes that Ukraine will slowly exhaust its military and financial resources, lose its vitality, and finally force the other side to the negotiating table. This is another sentence of the plot chapter, "The army is attacked, the second is to fight, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city." The method of siege is a last resort. ”
Today's United States and Russia have made moves in Russia and Ukraine, so what about tomorrow?What about the day after tomorrow?
Today's Ukraine has 9 shortages, lack of soldiers, lack of **, lack of ammunition, lack of funds, lack of foreign aid, lack of breakthroughs, lack of morale, lack of confidence in the West, lack of unity in the United States, and Ukraine is in danger.
Then when the matter on the Russian-Ukrainian side is over and Putin has gained a firm foothold, the troubles of the United States may have just begun. Putin will inevitably choose another point or several points and take the initiative to play tricks with the United States.
When that time comes, it may not be the proposal of many countries and the veto of the United States, it may be that the United States proposes and the many countries veto.
