"you guys" meaning who exactly? Anarchists aren't known for their love of imperialism.

And what, a punch is imperialism now? You really just want anyone that disagrees with you to be a nazi or something, don't you? Or I guess you assumed I was a tankie, didn't you? Some words are just doomed once liberals get a hold of them.

I guarantee you if someone punched that guy in his stupid fucking face mid-veto it would be front page news and it would influence public opinion, and at the very least that person could tell their grandkids, "I didn't just sit there frowning and doing nothing while thousands were condemned to death and suffering." It would also delegitimise the UN quite a lot, which I think would be a good thing. But it's not going to happen because anybody there is well-paid and has a prestigious position, which is one of the ways an institution like that maintains its appearance of legitimacy.

EDIT: Oh, and anyone that doesn't "do what I want"? You think there are two sides to whether Palestine needs support and recognition in the midst of an ongoing genocide? This isn't a difficult moral calculation.
