🌍 The UN Just Voted 153-1 to Protect UN & Humanitarian Workers. The United States Was the LONE DISSENTING VOTE. It's Despicable! We are THE ROGUE STATE of the World.
On a vote that should’ve been unanimous, the United States stood alone—revealing who is really defending this cruelty
Fifteen years from now, people will ask, “How did you not see it?”
And the honest answer is something I’ve said in my speeches for over a decade: it’s hard to know a moment in history when you are living in it. You still have to brush your teeth, wash your clothes, pay your bills—while your nation is in a despicable decline of human values.
This week, the United Nations voted on a resolution about protecting humanitarian workers and UN personnel, and the final tally was 153–1. The United States was the only country on earth to vote against it. Even Israel didn’t vote “no.” Israel abstained.
Before I explain why this matters so much, I want to ask you from the heart to become a member today. I keep our work free for the world—for readers in Gaza, for students in public schools, for families in deep poverty, for elders on fixed incomes—because a smaller circle of people who can afford it chooses to carry some of the cost. If that’s you, please click here to become a member and click here to join as a monthly, annual, or founding member. Your support keeps this work free for them, and even for you when you can’t afford to pay.
Now let’s talk about what this vote really means.
See the image above? That’s the UN voting board. There you’ll see the resolution title in plain view: “Safety and security of humanitarian personnel and protection of United Nations personnel.” The numbers are right there too: IN FAVOUR: 153. AGAINST: 1. ABSTENTION: 6.
And the lone “AGAINST” is the United States.
That is not a small disagreement. That is not a technicality. That is the entire world—Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, island nations, major powers—saying, “Humanitarian workers and UN staff should be protected.”
And the United States saying, alone: no.
What makes this even more revealing is that Israel abstained. Israel did not vote “no” on a resolution about protecting humanitarian workers. The United States did. Alone.
If you’ve been paying attention since October of 2023, you already know why this is so heavy. For over two years now, the current phase of the genocide in Gaza has included the relentless destruction not only of Palestinian life, but also of the people and institutions that document suffering, deliver aid, and keep civilians alive—doctors, journalists, paramedics, humanitarian workers, and UN staff. When people said, “Israel doesn’t care about the UN,” they weren’t exaggerating. They were describing what the world has been watching.
But this vote strips away the last convenient illusion.
Because if the United States is the lone nation on earth willing to vote against protecting UN personnel, then we are not looking at an “Israeli problem” alone. We are looking at an American philosophy—a worldview that treats humanitarian law as optional, treats the UN as an obstacle, and treats civilian protection as something to be negotiated away when it interferes with power.
And that’s the point I need to say plainly: the genocide in Gaza is being defended, enabled, funded, armed, and shielded by the United States. Not in whispers. Not by accident. In the open.
People sometimes talk as if Israel is dragging America into this, as if Washington is reluctantly stuck backing a reckless ally. This vote tells the truth…
America isn’t being dragged. America is leading. America is willing to stand in total isolation—153 to 1—to protect the machinery that keeps this violence possible and unaccountable.
And if you’re thinking, “How can a UN vote prove something so big?” here’s the plain answer: a vote like this is a global moral thermometer. It is the international community saying, “Whatever our politics, whatever our conflicts, humanitarian workers must be protected.” It should be as easy as breathing.
And the United States—the self-appointed global judge of human rights—raised its hand and said, “No.”
So I’m going to say it with the clarity the moment demands: the United States is the rogue state of the world. Period.
Not because a tweet said it. Not because a foreign government claims it. Because in a 153–1 vote to protect UN personnel, America stood alone. That’s not “leadership.” That’s not “values.” That’s not “democracy.” That is moral collapse with a flag on it.
And I need to name something else too. For over two years—since October 2023—we have watched Gaza flood the world with brutality so constant that it has broken people’s shock meter. We are being trained, in real time, to accept the unacceptable. We are being trained to watch humanitarian workers die and think, “That’s just what happens.”
No. That is what empire tries to normalize.
This vote is a receipt. 153–1. The whole planet, and then America—alone—voting against protection for the people whose job is literally to keep civilians alive.
If you want a clean definition of what this genocide is, it’s not only the killing of Palestinians. It is the systematic destruction of the structures that keep Palestinians alive and visible—aid, medicine, law, and accountability—while the United States uses its weapons, its money, its diplomacy, and now its votes to keep that destruction moving.
That is why this should have been headline news.
That is why I’m writing about it.
And that is why I need you with me.
If you believe receipts + moral truth matter in a world engineered to confuse you, please stand with us now.

Love and appreciate each of you.

I want to be clear on something. This is not Trumpism alone. It is Trumpism, no doubt.
But for the first year of this genocide, it was the Biden administration voting like this in the UN. It's just gotten worse.
the us government continues their baton pass between parties, deceiving the people while both wholly united in their passion for war and domination. it’s undeniable at this point.
