      The proposal, put forward by China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and others, saw 95 votes in favour, with Israel, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Germany voting against. Twenty-seven delegations abstained.

      You’re on the side of China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and others by the looks of it, all great countries full of nice people you imagine?

        Yeah I agree, that’s a very bad look for the countries that voted against the proposal. Even China and the Saudis have the moral high ground.

        Israel is committing genocide. What do you think that says about the countries that defend them?
