On Gaza UNSC Kabuki Theater US Abstains on Toothless Resolution With Press Banned by SG

UN GATE, Dec 22 –  Amid Gaza the UN Security Council's failure has exceeded two months (and much longer on Ukraine). On December 19, 20 and 21 votes were postponed until finally US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, at a stakeout with the Press banned, said in its current form the US would support a resolution. But without impact or integrity: this USUN lets the UN ban US-based Press.

And on December 22 it happened - a bid to amend the US draft was vetoed by the US, which then abstained on the draft that, it would appear, will have not impact on the ground. Inner City Press video here. Now censor Guterres will brag about it.

   Talk about phoning it in. Today's UN is corrupt.
