According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still -- when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

That's what the post says
Ok ok, this vote was over 20 years ago. Not that I think the result would be different if it was held now.
This map is from 2021. The commenter is confused.
Great, I can see why Israel wanted to keep the 'starving children' option open given that that's what they were already doing in Gaza before Oct 7.
I’m guessing OP didn’t know it was 20+ years ago? It happens.
The OP checked. The OP knows it was from 2021.
The OP also likes talking about himself in the third person. Because The OP thinks its fun.
Nice job, the OP.
Fair play to The OP
SoleInvictus appreciated OP's attention to detail and use of third person.
He decided to write a response in second person to hopefully add to the fun, and hopes someone will follow up with a comment in fourth person while recognizing he left them the most difficult task. He doesn't feel too bad.
"Can you believe this SoleInvictus guy? I just write a simple comment and now he's got me talking directly to the internet in some sort of fourth wall break thing? I mean is that even a thing with the internet, given that it doesn't even have a wall?" (Gabe shrugs) "Or is it an infinite wall break, what with all the monitors, phones, tablets, smart tvs and the like I must be staring out at this point?" (looks around with a paranoid expression) "Well, thanks for listening, but I'm going somewhere I can sit down and have a nice cup of Bovril" (slowly backs away into the shadows until nothing remains but the after image)
Chat, what's with these two?
