I celebrate the victories we can get, but the cynic in me will takeover soon.

Their loss

Thanks for breaking down the decision. TBH it feels like a loss when all Israel has to do is “turn it down a notch.” And a month later, tell us how it did.

Netanhayu's political survival isn't a notch, it's an all or nothing :(

Seems like bureaucratic bullshit to me. Israel is obviously slaughtering as many Palestinians as possible, and the "world" is fine with it. Disgusting.

I never expected a clear win, not when empire is alive. But it provides a moral victory, that some countries on the fence now have a ruling to refer to, and that some citizens will scream louder at their governments.

It’s a start and quite frankly I didn’t expect that. Shows how cynical I am.

It's diluted but I thought it would be more, an opportunity to discredit the UN. But they found a middle ground between interests, and we get to use it as a substantiation for morality, and that brown folks matter too, and that Zionism isn't an untouchable religion, and that Germany's a dick.

HI Mike! Small wins count,but this win has no teeth. In other way it helps us see whom is above the law,and whom is not. Backed in a corner,the sounding Arab states might rise up together and fight Israel. That won't heal the problem though. As long as the concept that God has a chosen people exists, this problem will continue. Maybe we all need to drop a region based on the hypothesis of Adem and Eve.

Any religion that believes that a god created evil so that they could be superior...

It was really great how Israel and the US had a plan waiting in the wings to make sure they could still have cover to continue starving the Gazan’s to death.

Yep, Netanhayu's that kind of terrific guy.
