You don't need a security council to know international rules , to know that there is a genocide in Palestine and that you need to respect them .

You would never use this excuse if the USA vote against any country helping Ukrainians in the security council . Shouldn't be different for any other conflict

No, but under the UN charter the SC is the only ones who can decide for action that could actually stop the genocide.

You would never use this excuse if the USA vote against any country helping Ukrainians in the security council . Shouldn’t be different for any other conflict

This is an explanation, not an excuse mate. So no, it is not different from any other conflict.

Russia is a member of the SC that has the veto , it blocked all the resolutions against it does that mean no countries should support Ukraine and that supporting Ukraine goes against the security council decision?

The genocide convention has a superior legal status compared to Security Council resolutions.
