On November 20, 2024, the United States wielded its United Nations Security Council veto power to block a draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. This move, the fourth such veto in recent months, sends a chilling message to the world: U.S. foreign policy, under the Biden administration, prioritizes its unyielding alliance with Israel over global human rights and international law.
A Veto Against Humanity
The resolution, backed by 14 of the 15 council members, demanded an unconditional ceasefire and the immediate release of hostages. It was a clarion call for sanity amidst the chaos of war—a plea to halt the catastrophic humanitarian crisis engulfing Gaza. The U.S. veto, however, crushed any hope of respite for the nearly 2.3 million Palestinians trapped in what UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini aptly described as a “graveyard” for children.
The veto is more than a diplomatic maneuver; it is a deliberate enabler of violence. By shielding Israel’s military actions, the Biden administration has tacitly endorsed the collective punishment of an entire population. Gaza, already under siege, continues to suffer mass casualties, the destruction of critical infrastructure, and a deepening humanitarian crisis. Biden’s decision has drawn global ire, underscoring the United States’ complicity in the tragedy unfolding in Palestine.
US Isolation
The 15-member council voted 14-1 in favor of the resolution, and the United States used its veto as a permanent council member to block it. Biden administration has pushed US into isolation and damaged its reputation of so-called champion of human rights. It is the darkest era in the US history where whole world is against US stance on Gaza Genocide. US is facing isolation in the international community absolutely and no one to stand with Biden administration on Gaza issue. This is a black spot on the foreign policy of Biden administration, which can not be washed
US Isolation
The 15-member council voted 14-1 in favor of the resolution, and the United States used its veto as a permanent council member to block it. Biden administration has pushed US into isolation and damaged its reputation of so-called champion of human rights. It is the darkest era in the US history where whole world is against US stance on Gaza Genocide. US is facing isolation in the international community absolutely and no one to stand with Biden administration on Gaza issue. This is a black spot on the foreign policy of Biden administration, which can not be washed out and the historian will always Rember that there was a president named Joe Biden who supported Genocide. Unfortunate!
The international community reacted strongly to the veto
China’s UN Representative Fu Cong condemned the U.S. for extinguishing the “last glimmer of hope” for Gaza, accusing it of perpetuating despair and bloodshed.
Russia’s Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia expressed outrage, stating it was “shocking but unsurprising,” highlighting the U.S.’s long-standing bias in the conflict.
Hamas branded the U.S. a “direct partner” in war crimes, while voices from across the Muslim world echoed similar sentiments, decrying America’s role in enabling atrocities.
In the Global South, nations like Brazil and South Africa have criticized the U.S. for prioritizing geopolitical interests over humanity, with Pakistan calling it an act of “unconscionable hypocrisy.”
A Partner in Genocide?
The Biden administration’s unwavering support for Israel has been evident through its provision of arms and financial aid during the conflict. Critics argue that this aid is not merely defensive but serves to further an agenda of expansionism, facilitating Israel’s continued encroachment on Palestinian land. The vision of a “Greater Israel,” long dismissed as a conspiracy, appears disturbingly tangible under the Biden presidency.
This alignment has reduced the U.S. from a purported “champion of human rights” to an accomplice in what many view as genoci
This alignment has reduced the U.S. from a purported “champion of human rights” to an accomplice in what many view as genocide. The veto reflects a betrayal of international principles and a dark chapter in American diplomacy. History will remember the Biden administration not for upholding peace but for enabling war.
A Misguided Legacy
As President Biden’s term nears its end, this veto raises questions about his motivations. Is this a desperate attempt to secure a political legacy tied to unwavering support for Israel, or a strategic move to complicate the transition for a potential Trump administration? Regardless, Biden’s Cold War-era mindset and apparent disdain for his political rivals have clouded his judgment, leaving the world to grapple with the devastating consequences.
The Path Forward
The U.S. veto is not just a policy failure; it is a moral failure. It reveals the deep contradictions in America’s claim to global leadership and its selective application of human rights principles. To the children of Gaza, to the bereaved families, and to the millions left in despair, the message is clear: their lives are expendable in the pursuit of political agendas.
It is incumbent upon the global community to challenge this hegemony, to stand united in the face of injustice, and to demand accountability—not only from Israel but from its enablers. For Gaza, and for humanity, the fight for justice must endure.
The Biden administration’s actions are a stain that will not be easily erased. History will judge, and it will not be kind.
2024年11月20日,美国在联合国安理会行使否决权,阻止了一项呼吁加沙立即停火的决议草案。这是近几个月来的第四次否决,向世界发出了一个令人不寒而栗的信息:在拜登政府的领导下,美国的外交政策将与以色列的坚定联盟置于全球人权和国际法之上。
反人道的否决权
该决议得到安理会15个成员国中14个国家的支持,要求无条件停火并立即释放人质。这是在战争的混乱中呼吁保持理智的号角——呼吁停止吞噬加沙的灾难性人道主义危机。然而,美国的否决粉碎了近230万巴勒斯坦人获得喘息机会的希望。联合国近东救济工程处总干事菲利普·拉扎里尼恰当地将其描述为儿童的“墓地”。
否决权不仅仅是一种外交策略;它是暴力的蓄意推动者。通过包庇以色列的军事行动,拜登政府默许了对全体人民的集体惩罚。已经被围困的加沙继续遭受大规模伤亡,关键基础设施遭到破坏,人道主义危机不断加深。拜登的决定引起了全球的愤怒,突显出美国在巴勒斯坦正在上演的悲剧中是同谋。
我们隔离
由15个成员国组成的安理会以14票对1票通过了这项决议,而美国作为安理会常任理事国动用了否决权来阻止这项决议。拜登政府将美国推向孤立,损害了美国所谓人权捍卫者的声誉。这是美国历史上最黑暗的时代,全世界都反对美国在加沙大屠杀上的立场。美国在国际社会面临绝对孤立,在加沙问题上没有人支持拜登政府。这是拜登政府外交政策的污点,是洗不掉的

国际社会对这一否决作出强烈反应
中国常驻联合国代表傅聪谴责美国扑灭加沙“最后一线希望”,指责美国使绝望和流血永久化。
俄罗斯驻联合国大使瓦西里·内本齐亚(Vassily Nebenzia)对此表示愤怒,称这“令人震惊,但并不令人意外”美国在冲突中的长期偏见。
哈马斯将美国称为战争罪行的“直接伙伴”,而整个穆斯林世界的声音也表达了类似的情绪,谴责美国在支持暴行方面所扮演的角色。
在全球南方,巴西和南非等国家批评美国将地缘政治利益置于人道主义之上,巴基斯坦称其为“毫无良心的虚伪”。
种族灭绝的伙伴?
拜登政府在冲突期间向以色列提供武器和财政援助,体现了对以色列坚定不移的支持。批评人士认为,这种援助不仅是防御性的,而且有助于推进扩张主义议程,为以色列继续侵占巴勒斯坦土地提供便利。长期以来被视为阴谋的“大以色列”愿景,在拜登担任总统期间似乎切实可行,令人不安。
这种结盟使美国从所谓的“人权捍卫者”沦为许多人眼中的种族灭绝的帮凶
这种结盟使美国从所谓的“人权捍卫者”变成了许多人认为的种族灭绝的帮凶。否决反映了对国际原则的背叛和美国外交的黑暗篇章。历史将铭记拜登政府,不是因为他维护和平,而是因为他纵容战争。
误入歧途的遗产
拜登总统的任期即将结束,这次否决引发了对他动机的质疑。这是一种孤注一掷的尝试,以确保与坚定支持以色列有关的政治遗产,还是一种战略举措,使潜在的特朗普政府的过渡复杂化?无论如何,拜登冷战时期的思维方式和对政治对手的明显蔑视蒙蔽了他的判断力,让世界不得不努力应对毁灭性的后果。
前进的道路
美国的否决不仅是政策上的失败;这是道德上的失败。它揭示了美国对全球领导地位的主张与对人权原则的选择性应用之间的深刻矛盾。对加沙的儿童、失去亲人的家庭和数百万陷入绝望的人来说,这个信息是明确的:为了追求政治议程,他们的生命是可以牺牲的。
国际社会有责任挑战这种霸权,团结起来面对不公正,并要求以色列及其支持者承担责任。对加沙和全人类来说,争取正义的斗争必须持续下去。
拜登政府的行为是难以抹去的污点。历史会做出评判,而且不会仁慈。
