'The Opposite of Leadership': US Vetoes Palestine's UN Membership
U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration on Thursday used the country’s veto power at the United Nations Security Council to block Palestine’s bid to become a full member of the U.N.
“Take a moment to ponder how isolated Biden has made the U.S.,” said Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, after the veto. “Biden lobbied Japan, South Korea, and Ecuador HARD to oppose the Palestine resolution so that the U.S. wouldn’t have to veto. They refused. So Biden cast his fourth veto in seven months.This is the opposite of leadership.”

Revealed: Israel has sped up settlement-building in East Jerusalem since Gaza war began
Israel’s government has accelerated the construction of settlements across East Jerusalem, with more than 20 projects totalling thousands of housing units having been approved or advanced since the start of the war in Gaza six months ago, planning documents show.
Ministries and offices within the Israeli government are behind all the largest and most contentious of the projects, sometimes in association with rightwing nationalist groups with a history of trying to evict Palestinians from their homes in parts of the city.
The rapid approval or construction of settlements that are illegal under international law is likely to further damage Israel’s relationship with the Biden administration.
When Namibia stands up to Germany, it shows that Gaza has revolutionised the Global South
In Dr Ramzy Baroud’s Opinion piece, he lays out his analysis of the solidarity between the Global South and Gaza.
The distance between Gaza and Namibia is measured in terms of thousands of kilometres, but the historical distance is much closer. This is precisely why Namibia was one of the first countries to take a strong stance against the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Since the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, Namibia has answered the call for solidarity with the Palestinians, along with many African and South American countries, including Colombia, Nicaragua, Cuba, South Africa and Brazil, as well as China and many others.
