Israel has voted against a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling to reaffirm Ukraine’s territorial integrity, rejecting a strongly worded condemnation of Russia’s invasion of its neighbor on the third anniversary of the war.

Eighteen countries voted against the resolution, 93 voted in favor, and 65 abstained.

    We are fighting literal fascists. Do you really think blaming the non-fascists will prevent these dishonest actors from doing their worst to ruin your life? It is by far the stupidest and most unhelpful position to blame the failings of the democratic position for the rise of the autocrats, when the latter are actively working to get into power.

      Does an ethnostate that is carrying out a genocide as part of its program of ethnic cleansing count as fascism? Now what do you call people who supply that ethnostate with billions in weapons?

        Well all I know is that now we’re going full-throttle on not one but 2 genocides, including the one in Ukraine with even less of a chance to dissuade this administration than the previous on either so… Overall I’d call them, better.

          That is so low of a bar to clear that it’s not noteworthy at all.

            I think it’s a pretty high bar to say that 2 genocides > 1 genocide and Option 2 was more persuadable than Option 1.

            But I’ll be sure to relay to Ukrainians that you believe, by extension, that they’re not noteworthy at all.

              Ukraine was never actually going to be granted membership into NATO, there is a reason for that. They’re being used as pawns. It’s not me who thinks of them as not noteworthy, but nice try with the guilt tripping, it won’t work on me.

      They are arguing in bad faith to help the fascists. They are in every thread that they can use to promote their anti democrat talking points.

        Just wanted to point out that if you had scrolled down you can see where I’m getting steadily downvoted for defending Ken Martin and telling people I have faith in the new DNC leadership and we should judge him on his (very impressive) political body of work and not a single answer to a question he was asked during the chair campaign…

        Like, it’s just wild to have people call me an “anti dem” trying to fracture the party and others accusing me of being a billionaire bootlicker for defending the DNC in the same thread.

        And I checked the timestamps, those comments were there hours before you made this comment.

        Not trying to get in a debate or anything, was just too crazy not to comment on.

          Bad actors try to hide that they are bad actors.

          Those comments don’t undo all the work you’ve done for the GOP.

      The ability for those on the left to eat each other up never disappoints.
