This graphic covers 44 vetoes between 1967–2018.
The U.S. has vetoed resolutions
The U.S. has vetoed resolutions
- condemning illegal Israeli settlements
- expressing alarm at Israel’s use of live ammunition against Palestinian protesters, medics, and journalists during the Great March of Return
- opposing actions that alter the status of Jerusalem
- and now calling for the protection of all civilians and delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
This is one of multiple ways that the U.S. is complicit in Israeli war crimes and the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
