I have a lot more sympathy for the fifteen year old tweeting this thinking that the UN can enforce a ceasefire than I do for the thousands of adults freely echoing this on the timeline.

I remember being in Model UN as a Freshman in high school and learning that the United Nations essentially couldn’t do anything. Stopped going after that - waste of time.
@lxeagle17
I also don’t feel sympathy for this person who is just parroting Hamas propaganda and denying any actual sourcing against their claims in the replies.
@lxeagle17
Agreed, but their heart is in the right place inline some other people will unironcly pretend to care about human rights again in a few months 🙄
@lxeagle17
But the un does and can enforce security council resolutions. That doesn’t mean it would necessarily here, or that if it did it would be instantaneous.
@lxeagle17
I have no sympathy for anyone who thinks a ceasefire means freedom for anyone. The freedom that Palestinians seek will not happen because it. The freedom of hostages being held won’t happen.
@lxeagle17
There is a simple path toward a ceasefire and that is that Hamas release the hostages and surrender. Immediate end to the war and a better future for Israelis AND Palestinians. Truly puzzling that all the ceasefire activists don't start there.
@lxeagle17
a lot of people have a very hard time grasping the fact that at the end of the day there is no overarching authority in international relations
@lxeagle17
People over here need to understand that it is not the United States of Israel, and it is not the United Nations of Israel. It is Israel and the final decisions ultimately rest with them.
