The United States blocked a United Nations Security Council statement drafted Monday that called for an independent investigation into Monday’s killing of at least 58 Palestinians along the Israeli-Gaza border. The deaths, alongside some 2,700 people who were injured, made Monday the deadliest day in Gaza since 2014. The protests erupted on the same day as the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem—a move that outraged Palestinians and many in the Muslim world. The statement, vetoed by the U.S., said in an initial draft: “The Security Council expresses its outrage and sorrow at the killing of Palestinian civilians exercising their right to peaceful protest. The Security Council calls for an independent and transparent investigation into these actions to ensure accountability.” After the scores of deaths on Monday, White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah blamed Hamas, refused to criticize Israel, and said: “Israel has a right to defend itself.”

Btw do u know how many anti israel votes and resolutions there are in the un?
Every month? Year?
Muslims make up a quarter of the world.
About 55-60 countries in the un is muslim majority countries.
A lot more have significant muslim minority population.
That's why there's so many anti israel votes and resolutions in the un. Also why us has to exercise veto.

Shooting? Peaceful unarmed civilian protestors. Is that possible?
They mustve been firing bullets out of peace signs while singing we are the children or something
