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.

when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

Especially when those two are consistently on the wrong side of such votes.

UN resolution A/RES/75/169: Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance

US and Turkey are only votes against, Israel didn't vote. (You'd think Israel might care more about Nazis but I guess not)

UN resolution A/78/L.5: Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba

US and Israel are the only votes against ending the embargo.

I could go on, but this pattern holds across numerous issues. USA and Israel's governments are fucking monsters.

I think they care a lot about keeping the "other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance"

Birds of a feather... and all that.
