the third dimension is multilateral, america's contribution, america voting on the u.n. security council, not voting and vetoing. these are the three dimensions. what we are saying is since the announcement, america has self inflicted on it self, the try lateral relationship. america is disqualified. you can't be mediator if you forego the rules and principles you are presented with. and you have single handedly unilaterally suddenly changed rules of engagement. we are not interested to engage under such rules of engagement. we're not. but we are adamantly, strategically interested. america is america. this is very important country, not only a super power but america is not the only -- you see the opportunities and how many people, even during announcement on jerusalem, thousands took to the streets in washington, new york, chicago, what have you. we also are thankful for american support to the palestinian people and institutions, and we will always want to maintain and not only maintain the instructions received from president abbas a few weeks ago, to double down on o

that is this hypocrisy at the united nations this hypocrisy in europe in north america and in russia this hypocrisy by u.n. security council members that they talk the whole they pressure they project and so on so forth but it's really unprecedented hypocrisy of the chatty american ambassador one day defense israeli repression and all pression occupation of palestine and the second day it attacks the syrian regime and its russian backers and vice versa the russian ambassador vasili will go on and attack the americans for their hypocrisy when we here as in media we have to call both parties resolutely and nicky for their hypocrisy on the question of syria because they are really proved along with their partners in france and the u.k. and germany to be totally and utterly hypocrite hypocritical when it comes to human life in syria it is a hypocrisy that as you say is costing you know five hundred civilian deaths at least just in the past week not to mention the hundreds of thousands that have been killed over the past seven years what can the other members of the security council do though when russia conti
