Lack of compassion in most of the World Leaders that caused the Wars and Conflicts!

WE have been witnessing wars for various reasons. From wars for a sovereign and independent authority to wars against weapons of mass destruction or wars on terror.
Why must we have wars?
Some justify wars with proclaimed theological doctrines others in the name of the ‘necessity’ of expanding or reclaiming sovereign and independent authority. Meanwhile, on both sides of the war, leaders vow to bring peace to humanity.
Nevertheless, a war in the end means killing men, women and children on a massive scale. Hence, wanting for ‘peace’ remains an enigma.
Indeed, there is something ominous about humanity and there is something surreal about peace. In fact, the inherent paradox of war in search of peace for humanity is a telltale sign against very humanity. It is never more than a power struggle.
Many would argue that there are times when war is morally permissible and even obligatory. They use the ‘Just War Theory’ to assess the moral permissibility of a war.

China ‘deeply disappointed’ at US veto to UN Gaza resolution

US' rejection of a UN Security Council resolution that would have called for a humanitarian pause to provide millions of people in the Gaza Strip with life-saving relief has come under fire. Analysts said that the US, by showing one-sided support for Israel, has failed to defuse the tense situation and has taken a stance in opposition to the rest of the world by destroying the international efforts that're trying to bring a truce to the conflict in the Middle East.
Twelve members voted in support of the Brazilian-drafted resolution on Wednesday and the US was the sole Council member to vote against it. The US is "on the ground doing the hard work of diplomacy," according to the US ambassador to the UN, who stated this after the vote, media reported.
The US' veto to the resolution has been criticized. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a press conference on Thursday that China is deeply disappointed with the US' obstruction of the Security Council's adoption of the draft resolution on the Palestinian question.

The US veto is stained with the blood of Israeli and Palestinian civilians: Global Times editorial
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC), consisting of 15 member states, voted on October 18 on a draft resolution regarding the Israeli-Palestinian situation. The US cast the sole dissenting vote, leading to the resolution's failure to pass. China expressed shock and disappointment at this decision, which is not exclusive to China but represents a general sentiment within the international community. Even the US' allies, Japan and France, voted in favor, choosing to stand with the just forces of the international community, leaving the US standing alone on the opposite side.
The draft resolution submitted by Brazil sends a clear signal, which is to prioritize achieving an immediate comprehensive ceasefire above all else. This reflects the most significant consensus within the current international community. However, it was vetoed by the US, resulting in direct and severe consequences.
The situation in Gaza is escalating, with more civilians losing their lives and suffering. The recent tragic incident where over 500 people lost their lives in a hospital in Gaza due to an airstrike has made the situation even more urgent. Every minute and second counts, and there is an urgent need for swift and decisive action by the UNSC. All countries genuinely concerned about the humanitarian disaster in Gaza are making maximum efforts. The US veto is stained with the blood of innocent civilians, and it is a grave injustice. It not only prevents collective action by the UNSC but also sends an extremely negative signal, indicating that the UN cannot ensure basic international humanitarian principles at critical moments. In fact, this gives a green light to those who do not abide by international humanitarian law.
