Are you surprised that the US and Israel are the only two countries that voted against making food a human right?

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, it's surprsing

Not surprising at all

A total of 5 votes were cast: 2 girls and 3 guys. See detailed results

No im not surprised, it’s more of a surprise that a lot of western contries voted for it. This goes back to the original Geneva vote in 2017, which is good while before the above 2021 video.

Short version, there were bits in the orginal resolution that were not agreed to, those items were not updated or removed, therefore the US rightly voted against them.

Doesn't change anything, you can declare anything a "right" but unless it existed in a state of nature it never was.

@KostasKouvalis What? They voted that food his not human’s right?

[KostasKouvalis]

I must've missed that on the news but apparently, yes

[KostasKouvalis]

I'm not surprised though. The US disagrees with most everything the UN does

[Kelly6]

@KostasKouvalis
To me that totally a crime

[KostasKouvalis]

My mom never liked that my schools punished us by not letting us have lunch. She straight up told them even rapists and murderers get fed.

What he's not telling you is that there were all kinds of amendments inside the vote that both countries did not agree with.

[KostasKouvalis]

@thearchjoker Of course they didn't. The US agrees with pretty much everything the US does

[thearchjoker]

who doesn't agree with what they themselves are doing? France agrees with what france is doing Australia agrees with what australia is doing China agrees with what china is doing and so on and so fourth

[KostasKouvalis]

@thearchjoker The USA disagrees with pretty much everything the UN does

[thearchjoker]

the Us has voted against the un and vetoed it before just like the other permanent members

[Kelly6]

@KostasKouvalis
thanks for mho

[KostasKouvalis]

The app awarded it

[avery58]

Nope, I'm not surprised by that at all.

[KostasKouvalis]

Me either. The US disagrees with almost everything the UN does

[thearchjoker]

And where is that food going to come from?

[gatixek710]

Wait is this supposed to mean something?

[TheCaller]

What food?
