I seriously can't believe we live in a time when people vote to save human lives.
And US votes against peace
Excellent point. 👏
They are not human
Righhht?!?!?! Crazy times we are living in!
@christophermaxey7023
Who you mean ?
Germany, Hungary and Austria on the wrong side of history once again...
Not surprising really. Shameful
Maybe they realize that the UN vote does absolutely nothing to help people? Just like the UN did nothing to help Balkans until after the killing stopped
Nope
Deep Systematic Racism
Old habits die hard
Can someone please explain why UN sees the need to vote on something so universal as *Protection of citizens and upholding legal and humanitarian obligation* ... Should this not be the non-negotiable rule of the UN...
I mean at least they got a vote. Sadly we are acting as if this is the only tragedy in the world. It's clearly a distraction for what ever horrible things are going to happen.
The statement Australia, Canada and New Zealand made is this, that's what they were voting for. It should've been much clearer: "Hamas must release all hostages, stop using Palestinian civilians as human shields, and lay down its arms. There is no role for Hamas in the future governance of Gaza”
Great question! It’s politics. This is where stuff gets dirty and complex, so a country will vote no for certain interests. Voting yes on this matter may mean that Israel must stop fighting in their war against Hamas. However, Israel does want to fight to remove the terrorists and USA wants to make money by funding Israel with weapons.
because world politics, and very very bad people.
That's right, what is the function of the establishment of this organization? they know but they are so cowardly or just dumb.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 Abstention...what a Shame...Don't they need cease fire...Amazing
Zelensky needs the US money to buy more yachts
Absolutely
@onix5506There's that, but as we've seen with Bernie, sometimes heritage clouds judgement. Zelensky might feel more sympathetic to Israel than he should.
@@Marwan.Abushanabmore like putin
Obviously not. Didn't you hear they're on the verge of defeating RF?
Germany should be embarrassed of themselves, having gone through a similar regime and history themselves to then not vote to stop this
They have learned nothing, but to only give unconditional support to Israel.
Germany knows that hamas must be stop to save the future generations. Look at when the last war started. HAMAS using the same old tactics to get more aid and money and they live happily in Qatar
They didn't vote against it Austria did.
@@constantinvaldor3742but they did abstain same as UK. UK is as disgusting as Germany, Italy and all the rest. Are they that desperate for a future cut of the gas and oil supplies off Gaza?
@@d_ni6519 hard to say if USA agree with you. Australia voted for ceasefire and Canada. That's a victory
We Will remember those who abstained BUT we will never forget those who voted NO.

Ukraine did not vote for a ceasefire. Hypocrites!
I can understand their position...they absolutely depend on US armament to push back Putin's invasion back to Russia. Abstaining is the best position they can take at the moment.
Biden is living on another planet, in another era.
He lives in another galaxy, trillion light years from us !
What about Austria they voted with USA
@@constantinvaldor3742Doesn't surprise anyone, the Austrians have shown us what war crimes and genocide is in the previous century like nobody else
True
He seems to want war whether it is be get re-elected who knows but the electorate isn’t that of 2000. Today we know more thanks to independent media.
Everyone knows what U.S. is
The most successful democracy in the world?
@triola3983 ❌ try again
@triola3983 The US ranks 30th in the world for democracy index. One of the worst among "first world" nations. With a system like gerrymandering, it's hardly a democratic country.
@@triola3983democrazy? Succesfull?😂😂
US is a vassal state of Israel.
Even china japan korea on the same side this time , rarely...
Oh snap, you're right. You got the three east asian countries with a centuries long beef to actually agree on something.
@@EbonySaints😂😂😂 yeah
This is why it sucks to be the UN because whenever anything substantive is going on all you get to do is object and vote, then object and vote again, but the world’s great powers just keep barreling forward with whatever they deem to be right, right or wrong.
nah, plenty of great powers were in favour of the ceasefire. It's all on amerika
Well the SEc Gen could have tried to be more influential and besides the admin is probably infiltrated with personnel from 5 powers.
And who do you think set up the UN? Oh that’s right, is the great powers. Wow what a coincidence
Kinda pointless having these resolutions which we know are just gonna be ignored anyway. UN is powerless
@@chrispunzalan7471It does theoretically apply pressure to the US. Now when election season rolls around, the opposing party can say Biden contravened international obligations to support the Israeli invasion. Unfortunately the opposition is even more despotic.
UKRAINE , ISRAEL , USA - SHAME ON YOU !
SHAME ON YOU !
Ukraine get $6 billion fund for aid and other things from U.S yesterday.😅
I DISAGREE WITH YOU ... THERE IS PRIDE TO STAND ON RIGHT GROUND ... AND NOT GIVE-IN TO THE ERRONEOUS PREFERENCE OF THE MAJORITY... STAND STRONG ... STAND PROUD !!!
Add Germany to your list
Bro this isn't jujutsu Kaisen buddy
Ukraine is voting against the ceasefire? Well, then Russia shouldn't stop what it is doing right now.
+1
Ukraine abstained wow 🙃
They need US support, they are still at war themselves.
They need GOP support to get money from congress and that's not going to happen. The Trump supporting GOP side is what's helping Putin win in Ukraine which is beyond treasonous and disgusting...
I like how my country voted yes the first time (last round) and abstained for no reason on the 2nd 👍
True incompetence 🇲🇼😭
better than my country. the US voted no. can’t get worse than that

@@jn4126why? What difference does it make. They are all fully aware that no matter which way the resolution goes, the result is still the same: nothing happens. Maybe some of those countries are just sick of the dog and pony show
@@Wolfgulfur international diplomacy is a complex thing. If this vote had happened 20 years ago, alot more countries would have followed the US. The decline is hegemony is significant, we are comming to the end of the American age, and thoes who cling to it's decaying remains will be bereft of political/economic capital with the new emerging powers. These votes are very significant
I'm hoping that more than half didn't understand the question...
@@jn4126 but it only takes America's vote now, they're the only superpower in the world and they don't need support
The UN may not be powerful politically, but surely they are powerful in terms of boycotting as a block so as to avoid repercussions?
Just a thought.
Yeah un embargoes are deadly
Short answer: No
Long answer: No, they are not. At least not in the present day.
Yes, but how can you boycott Hamas or the Palestinians? - they've never produced anything of value to anyone, ever... The last time Gaza exported Tomatoes is before Hamas took over and turned the place into a prison.
Canada yes wow
Even Australia, this is ridiculous
@@someguy2771 really what is happening to the world
Don't tell me the micro ounce humanity is waking up
@@ChickChicken-jz1kz I reckon the protests + scared of losing allies
@@someguy2771Canada is America minus the Christian Fundamentalists. The Israeli occupation has always been unpopular here.
Palestinians should have just declared their independence back in 1948, just like Israel, instead of attacking Israel and trying over and over again to wipe it off the map. Palestinians kept trying and they kept failing. They have no one to blame but THEMSELVES!!
Palestine did declare independence.
They keep fighting because any country in their situation would keep fighting. If anyone dares to come and take what's mine I will fight back till death, even if I lose everytime. You don't understand dignity do you?
The only thing that's being wiped off the map is palestine. In 1948 the partition plans gave the fertile rich land to a minority that comprised of 30% of the population. Most of whom are immigrants from Europe, and both NAs
Nonsense! Palestinians wanted thier stolen lands back. Is it that complicated really to understand?!!
Exactly.
There were no Palestinians then. They invented themselves pretty recently.
People choose money over life. What a disgusting world we live in.
The countries that abstained are basically voting against it but are cowards.
Like many resolutions before, Israel will just ignore this one.
The US veto the other day is also the latest in a long line of US vetoes. MOST of which, throughout the years have been in support of Israel.
The US has a basic understanding of what's right and what's wrong. HAMAS are deeply WRONG.
Sorry that we don't have much faith in this useless organization :)
NOTE: the title of resolution "PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS AND UPHOLDING LEGAL AND HUMANITARIAN OBLIGATIONS" ...ceasefire was not the main theme but an option... the title is subject to individual interpretation....
A vote for a ceasefire would be a matter for the Security Council, which it was the other day, and was vetoed by the US.
This vote by the General Assembly is basically a protest against that veto. No country has a veto in GA voting.

How can Ukraine abstain ? Shame !
Ukraine abstaining is so ironic and surreal to me
America's their daddy
Shame on UK, Italy, Germany, Ukraine, Netherlands. etc. for abstaining. Shame on you. There is no maybe in stopping these atrocities, you are in favor or against.
Why did no country talk about an immediate cease-fire in Ukraine and Russia? Why this double standard leaders are speechless
Shame on Italy, my country!
U.N. Gaza "ceasefire": Israel stops shooting....and Hamas does not!!!
ISRAEL TROLL ALERT! ISRAEL TROLL ALERT!
Hamas does. That's a ceasefire lol
There are no Hamas left by now and soon no Palestine will be left you Jenocydal Preeks
Germany withholding. Once again I'm ashamed for my nation.
Have you submitted a comment on You Tube condemning the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas? If not, why not? None of this would be happening if Hamas did not attack Israel on October 7, 2023, and YOU know it.

What is the resolution on Hamas? let him continue to engage in terrorism against Israel?
Really? So 10.00 babys and children dont matter?
Wow! Abstention from Ukraine!!! after Zelensky comes crying everywhere!!! what nerve !! Unfortunately this resolution is of no use because it is not binding, in other words there is no sanction if it is not respected!!!
Yes, next step, deploy UN ground forces immediately.
Yeh, with their nerf rifles. Real kickass dudes.
Not some random island that will probably be lost once the seas rise, called Nauru voting no for a ceasefire 🤦🏽♂️.
The sound design in this video is impressive🔥
They need to vote against Hamas using civilians (even children) as human shields, because that's what's causing the deaths.
Still usa 🇺🇸 uses veto which shouldn’t be used in case of genocide. It shows double standards
Bingo! America has always been the true Axis of Evil. This just proves it!
What does this do?? Just votes after votes with no action
What do you do? Just comments after comments and no thought
Nothing as usual.
Ceasefire is not unilateral, it's both sides. The vote is for Hamas to give back hostages and surrender, so a bit pointless, yeh.

Honestly, nothing. It's more symbolic. Shows what the international climate is.
This means exactly what it is. They just vote and have meetings and nothing gets resolved. They’ve met many times now!

Thanks that there was no US veto power here!

Piers morgan: But do you condemn Hamas? 😂
Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌎🙏🌍🙏🌏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ukraine and South Sudan abstaining from the vote is so so ironic
Why? - Ukraine was invaded by Russia, Israel was invaded by Hamas, they are on the same side... obviously.
Thats embarrassing
Now enforce it
Never happen! If the UN try anything actionable against Israel, their actions will ultimately daisy chain in to WW3 then we are all in trouble!!! The only thing they can do is apply sanctions.
Palastine DOES NOT want a ceasefire, has not asked for one and broke the last one
Why the un don’t do anything about the houties and the Red Sea issue?
For the Humanity! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So?
Now What
WHY NO VOTE FOR RELEASING HOSTAGES ??????
Netanyahu refused a ceasefire on the condition of hostage’s release
We now know which country is immoral by promoting genocide. There goes their credibility on championing freedom of speech and rights for mankind. I vow not to buy any products or use services produced by the US, Israel and others who support crime against humanity. It wont make much of a difference but i am proud to do my part as a human being.

Hopefully, lessons are learnt for the next hundred years by every witness to this conflict.
Who will follow and implement the UN resolution?
UNITED STATES ... they are the biggest monetary contributors anyway ...the rest are there to fill up the seats ...
We have to stop this nosense war
Australia and New Zealand never disappoints. I love you their spirit.
really? that is why Australia did not condamn the deportation of the Chagossians by the U.k for a u.s military base .lol
Disagree. They are only now voting yes. Thousands dead.
Each nation has its own huge human rights blind spot. Even my home on native land, Canada... The amount of human rights abuses that go on here towards Indigenous Canadians could have you here until 2057...@@ehjo4904
New Zealand, yes. Australia is pretty terrible.
Indeed, Australia, New Zealand and Canada issued this statement: "Hamas must release all hostages, stop using Palestinian civilians as human shields, and lay down its arms. There is no role for Hamas in the future governance of Gaza” - that's what they voted for. Slightly different eh?
Seems nobody has read the actual statement? - "Hamas must release all hostages, stop using Palestinian civilians as human shields, and lay down its arms. There is no role for Hamas in the future governance of Gaza” - that's what they voted for. Slightly different eh?
People giving excuses like 'oh khamas 🥴' should know that Israeli occupation started in 1948 while hamas existed in 1988 after intifida. According to international law, people under occupation has a right to armed resistance. You can't condemn resistance fighters before you condemn the occupation.
Genocide isn't armed resistance. It is well established that whatever this is, it's not legitimate by international law.
Yea and they should read plan dalet which contains trying to overtake and destroy palestine ot was created in 1948 hamas wasnt even established back then , and they should try the baldour declaration as well .
In 2005, Israel dismantled every single settlement, left behind thriving businesses, and completely withdrew from Gaza. Gaza held elections and their elected government has been responsible for basic services and even maintained a war making capability. What more should Israel do to not be an "occupier" anymore?
What occupation?
Austria, Germany, Israel, America
Not surprising
Mexico and Japan are based, let's goooo
Huh…? So you support Hamas killing innocents too?
So when is the UN general assembly going to vote on a cease fire in Ukraine?!😲🤔
Too little too late. Fence-sitters everywhere - I'm looking at you Albanese and Wong!
fighting continues. it’s developments on the ground in gaza that matters. debates in UN new york have no bearing on the conflict.
Lots of people getting paid by your taxes to do nothing
At 0:28 we can see which nations sold their souls and did not speak up against genocide
Yes, but some of the ones in green pro genocide are a bit misleading. For example Australia, New Zealand and Canada said: "Hamas must release all hostages, stop using Palestinian civilians as human shields, and lay down its arms. There is no role for Hamas in the future governance of Gaza” - that's what they voted for, a little bit different than the headlines eh...
After Monsanto won the farmer food war in Europe- surprise a cease fire in the decoy campaign
Wonderful News
I love how dramatic the Israeli Ambassador is. He's either in the closet or just histrionic.
On a more serious note. If they have the phone, home and office location why didn't they just go there instead of bombing hospitals to get to him?
Did they do this in Ukraine?
Do you mean did they have a vote about the russia-ukraine conflict? Yes, putin didn't follow, and the UN can't actually enforce the resolution.
Sooooooo what type of ceasefire is it??? Permanent or temporary??? Is there going to be a scheduling date?? I assume it’s going to be temporary but for how long??
None. The US vetoed it
@@shebsheb8850 what was the whole point of the vote?? Why can’t they just talk to the US first and then the vote if possible?
However, the last part was adopted and the rest failed because they didn’t meet the requirement of the majority of the vote 🗳️.
The UN prefer to maintain the Palestinians' refugees status because they get tons of money and power in behalf of the "Palestinian cause".
The UN have 2 refugees agencies - UNHCR for around 100mil refugees around the world, and UNRWA only for the Palestinians.
Please read about UNRWA funds.
People here dont understand that ceasfire means more time for Hamas to find weapons and attack again. You can forget about "saving lives" when Hamas doesnt care about its people, with ceasefire or without
Not just that, ceasefire is not unilateral, it is both sides. Hamas must first give back hostages and surrender, so... I guess until they do, everything carries on as usual.
Facts
Im happy and let hope US will not Veto that decision.
So they will vote for peace. Then Gaza attacks Israel then what? 🤷♂️. Should we vote again?
A ceasefire now is basically saying, let Hamas continue to exist and cause even more terror next time. No means, NO I do not want to see another terror attack. No I don't want to see Hamas continue to exist.
The logic is “Keep killing people so this other group stops killing”? Here’s a fact none of you want to acknowledge: Hamas’ leaders are in Qatar. Most of its power rests in Turkey and Qatar, nations allied with the US which abides by Israel’s every demand. Israel never made a request that the Hamas leaders in these countries be persecuted, rather they bomb Gaza.
Israel has killed more children than Hamas ever has. Hamas was founded as a reactionary force: Hamas was founded in the 80s, Israel in 48

That’s crazy that anyone would vote NO or abstain
Holland shame on you!
What difference does it fkn make? Isr. Is not stopping. There seems to be no consequences
just read today that US would veto the today today because they have worked hard at trying to get a temporary ceasefire and hostage exchange that is still not in place and this ceasefire would potentially create long term peace. Also Britain could create Israel but cannot create Palestine. I don't get the logic
“Resolution has been adopted.” Someone needs to make an edit of this where the end credit scene of finding Nemo gets tagged on after that line.
“Hurray! Yay! We did it!………Now what?”
The resolution is for Hamas to surrender, a ceasefire is both sides - so we'll just wait for Hamas to surrender then?
Soo ?? When is the ceasefire happening
The US veto’ed it
It meens nothing! All talk.
Finally! It's a shame it took this long, btw ,did you look at the face of delegate of Israel?
