The American ‘veto’ at the United Nations Security Council calling for a ceasefire in Palestine is reprehensible. The scorn being heaped on America for this ‘veto’ it totally justified.
Palestinian men, women and children continue to be slaughtered from the air by the Israeli military. Whose scorched earth campaign against the Palestinian people continues with the political blessing and weapons provided by the Biden Administration.
The reaction of the Israeli government in response to the horrific terror attack by Hamas on October 7 has now gone far beyond the point of a measured response.
It is now obvious that the military carnage unleashed on the people of Palestine has only one goal. Destroy Palestine as a viable territory fit for human habitation.
One day Israel will pay a price for the murder and mayhem it continues to inflict on Palestine.

Netanyahu: Israel will continue our ‘just war’ against Hamas
The Israeli military said there were signs Hamas was “falling apart” in Gaza, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue the war.
In a video statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the US for its veto on the Gaza cease-fire resolution in the UN Security Council.
“I very much appreciate the correct stance the US took at the United Nations Security Council,” Netanyahu said. “Therefore, Israel will continue our just war to eliminate Hamas and achieve the rest of the war’s goals.”
Israel launched its current military operation against Hamas in Gaza after the militant-Islamist group carried out terror attacks on Israel on October 7.
Netanyahu said “other countries must also understand that they cannot support the elimination of Hamas on one side, and on the other to call for the end of the war, which will prevent the elimination of Hamas.”
