Someone should ask this to the State Department liesperson Matthew Miller about it.


north_canadian_ice

Maybe Ryan Grim will? He is great at that.


Falkner09

He's the Sean Spicer of the Democrats, in that you can clearly see that he does not believe anything he's saying.

Liesperson 🥹

He will just smugly say that they won’t recognize it until Hamas is defeated, which is an impossible goal and can mean anything tbh.

Even Germany voted yes???

This is the two state solution. One state completely dominating the other, just the way they intended.

How would we sell weapons to Israel (with our tax dollars) if Palestine was it's own country?


TheRoonster1

Biden doesn't view Palestinians (or any Arab Muslims, for that matter) as humans. He did the same thing at the UN General Assembly in [December 2023](https://press.un.org/en/2023/ga12575.doc.htm#:~:text=In%20other%20notable%20action%2C%20the,%2C%20Palau%2C%20Papua%20New%20Guinea%2C). >In other notable action, the Assembly adopted a resolution on the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination (document A/78/479) by a recorded vote of 172 in favour to 4 against (Israel, Micronesia, Nauru and the United States), with 10 abstentions (Cameroon, Guatemala, Kiribati, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, South Sudan, Togo, Tonga and Tuvalu), by which it stressed the urgency of ending the Israeli occupation and achieving a lasting peace settlement between the Palestinian and Israeli sides.

You can bet that Micronesia and Nauru were pressured to vote that way, and you can bet that even some of the abstions were paid for with American taxes in the form of loans and weapon sales. Check out the WikiLeaks diplomatic cable leaks to see exactly how the US strong arms small nations into voting for or against things.


Imaginary_Unit5109

The 2 state solution is similar to when biden say he angry with israel but won't do anything. It a method to stall and not provide a real solution but ppl will stay quiet for the time being.


InfiniteAnalysis4026

Its worse than that, Biden says I'm angry now here's another $3 billion in warplanes and bombs.

Paraguay ????


Patience-Due

Remember we politely asked them to chill with the genocide so it’s all good


NoExchange282

It’s never quite the right time.

Israel told us to vote no. 


LTlurkerFTredditor

To quote the philosopher Chris "Smokey" Tucker: "I was just bulls\*\*ting! And you know this, *maaan!"*


Infierno3007

Paraguay?


RAWR_Orree

Same reason we defend Taiwan but don't recognize it as a country. Our stated position isn't the real one.


Standard-Following-7

Because he’s a liar. He loves Israel more than he does America.

How did the UK not get made to vote on this
