The test of the resolution was based on the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion in July that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory was illegal.

The resolution also calls on member states not to sell arms or military equipment to Israel that would be used in Gaza, the West Bank, and east Jerusalem.

Among the 43 countries that abstained were Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Some 12 of the 27 European Union countries abstained, including Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Sweden.

Shoutout to the libs wetting their pants over non-Russian weapons being used against Ukraine

I’m not sure what could be worse than literally bulldozing all of Palestine to the ground and killing the survivors that crawl out. And that is not hyperbole. Literal bulldozers are going in a line through Palestine.

Maybe PugJesus can enlighten us?

Israel and Kyle Rittenhouse can agree on one thing, it's totally cool to kill people and then pretend you were defending yourself

Please yankee, don't make everything happening in the world about you

I'm not trying to make it about me, I'm trying to say that what Israel was doing was not self-defense

Weird that the comments and the top level post are calling out the countries which abstained but apperently no one cares about the 'against' votes.

That is a very misleading headline. Carpet bombing over 30.000 civilians to death is not self defense, not even close to it.
