The nine countries which voted with Israel in the UN

The New Neo Posted on by

It’s a strange combination. Aside from the US, we have Austria and Lithuania, two countries extremely cognizant of the Holocaust; Czechia; two Latin American countries, Guatemala and Paraguay; Liberia; and three Micronesian republics.

That’s it.

Twenty-three other countries abstained, but I’m having trouble locating a list of them.

The resolution passed resoundingly by a huge majority, and did not even mention Hamas:

– The resolution also reiterated the General Assembly’s demand that all parties comply with their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law, “notably with regard to the protection of civilians”
– Prior to the resolution, two amendments making specific reference to extremist group Hamas were voted down by members

The resolution also demanded the release of hostages – but again, it doesn’t even mention Hamas or terrorism.

The UN is an utterly discredited institution, and has been for a long long time. Also, its demands are meaningless, except as propaganda.

From the Israeli UN delegate, words of truth:

Israel’s Permanent Representative, Gilad Erdan, said that the General Assembly finds itself “about to vote on another hypocritical resolution.”

“Not only does this resolution fail to condemn Hamas for crimes against humanity, it does not mention Hamas at all. This will only prolong the death and destruction in the region, that is precisely what a ceasefire means,” he said.

He added that the only intention of Hamas is to destroy Israel and that the group has declared that it will repeat its atrocities again and again until Israel ceases to exist.

“So why would anyone want to aid Hamas in continuing their rule of terror and actualizing their satanic agenda?”, he asked.

“We all know that the so call humanitarian ceasefire in this resolution has nothing to do with humanity. Israel is already taking every measure to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza,” he added.

Why “would anyone want to aid Hamas in continuing their rule of terror and actualizing their satanic agenda?” The question is rhetorical. The answer is some combination of cowardice, leftism, ignorance, Jew-hatred, and evil, in differing proportions for different people.

The nine countries which voted with Israel in the UN — 30 Comments

  1. What a sorry state of affairs. I would have thought Poland, the other Baltic states, maybe Finland and Norway, Japan, Argentina and others might have supported Israel. But guess not.

  2. Phew! The reach and rancor of the mob-ocracy is large and lunatic. It has indeed gone international.

    I’m depressed to be a tiny member of the human race. “People suck,” goes an old cynic’s line from the ‘80s.

  3. how about the Uk and Australia’s abstention lets not speak of Canada, I was reminded of Psalm 83, in these circumstances,

  4. When I see hundreds of thousands of people in Europe, the US and Australia marching in favor of hamas, and votes like this, I am reminded of a scene from A Man For All Seasons.
    No, not the give the devil benefit of law scene, but this one, near the end of the film.

    If the time cued doesnt work, go to about the 1:55 mark.

  5. https://therightscoop.com/new-poll-do-the-palestinians-agree-with-hamas-terrorist-attack-on-innocent-israelis/

    72% of pArabs polled “. . . think Hamas was ‘correct’ in carrying out its mass slaughter” and “A whopping 89% of the respondents denied that Palestinian terrorists committed war crimes on Oct. 7, while 95% claimed that Israel breached international law during its defensive operation against Hamas in Gaza.”

    Good job, UN, you’ve shown us all just what you are!

  6. To our shame, Canada’s current government voted in favour. Sure wish our previous PM Stephen Harper was in office, not the smirking virtue signalling Trudeau.

  8. The question about the abstentions may be answered by determining how many Muslims live in those countries… enough to cause trouble?
    Or…how badly those countries just want to be kept out of the mess they sense is coming.

  9. We are tumbling to world war and civil war between good and evil. Nearly every country of the world ripped apart. If there is the Christian God, then good will prevail but will have to suffer terribly as penitence.

  14. Thailand voted in favor of it. As the country that had the second-largest number of citizens taken hostage, I would have hoped they’d vote against it. Or at least abstain

  15. 1863: The only good Indian is a dead Indian

    1943: The only good Jap is a dead Jap

    2023: The only good Jew is a dead Jew

    Some things about human nature never change

  17. As John said “Or…how badly those countries just want to be kept out of the mess they sense is coming.” The better not turn around because those footsteps they hear behind them are getting close.
    (That’s a paraphrase of Satchel Paige)

  18. When I was in high school, the N was being formed. Our school decided it would be good for us to study what was happening and to discuss it.

    My takeaway was primarily that the UN’s purpose was to end wars of conquest and promote better relations among all nations. Well, it was a nice dream.

    It became clear during the negotiations for the UN that the Communist bloc had no intention of living peacefully with the rest of the world. They decided to promote Communist Revolutions wherever they could outside the Iron Curtain countries. These were called civil wars, agrarian reforms, etc. – not wars of conquest. 🙁

    When the Cold War ended in 1989, we in the West believed that democracy and free enterprise had won. Here we are, 34 years later and communism and various forms of tyranny are still with us and on the march.

    The UN has very little to offer the world to stop the new aggressors. In fact, it has become a useless entity that burns through a lot of U.S. taxpayer money while offering little in the way of benefit. In fact, the ICCP is probably the greatest threat to Western Civilization and democracy of any one organization on the planet. If we can’t disband the UN, we should try to move it to a place where the living isn’t quite soi easy.

    Can’t the NATO nations at least vote with Israel? Can’t they at least carry their weight in the Ukraine War? Apparently not. What are treaties for? Mostly to let Uncle Sucker pick up the bill. Let’s quit being Uncle Sucker.

  19. Erdan also held up a sign with a Hamas phone number and instructions to call it for a ceasefire.

  20. It makes me rather sad that the UN is not covering itself in glory in this whole matter, as I have a soft spot for some of its historical successes. I have a UN flag which I was going to hang outside the other day on the anniversary of the official declaration that smallpox had been eliminated in the wild, for example. But for shame at the excuse-making and so on, I couldn’t bring myself to it.

    How long will it be before the UN votes to simply expel Israeli representation from it completely? I’m not sure it would ultimately matter a great deal, but seeing Erdan described as the “permanent representative” rather than the “ambassador” or something similar made me wonder.

  21. A university student who is not going to bow to the systemic anti-Israel bigotry.

    If the words “diversity, equity, and inclusion” mean anything, it’s that hatred is unacceptable no matter what form it takes.

    Yet the past two months have made clear to me that institutional DEI tolerates — and thereby encourages — the particularly awful hatred of antisemitism.

    What else could explain what’s happening at Princeton University?

    Nothing prepared me for Oct. 7.
    …
    I made the mistake of logging onto X and our Graduate Student Government Slack channel.

    While I always knew antisemitism found a home in higher education, I still expected my peers to express shock and sympathy — the natural response to obvious evil.

    Instead, I found an explosion of Jew-hatred, mere days after Israelis were slaughtered, burned, kidnapped and raped.

    The comments were as heinous as they were numerous.
    …

    At first, I felt sick — a combination of shock, anger, grief and disgust rolled into one.

    After I calmed down, I felt resolved.

    I compiled a list of the most horrific comments and sent them Oct. 18 to Princeton’s DEI office.

    I asked it to discipline Princeton students spreading hate.

    I got a response Nov. 7: It would take no action because the comments “constitute political (and therefore protected) speech.”

    I could understand that reasoning, despite the naked hypocrisy of Princeton faculty members having been previously disciplined for speech.

    But what happened next was far more baffling.

    I asked the DEI office to meet with me — not to discuss the report I made but rather the problem of antisemitism more broadly.

    I hoped we could devise a plan to combat this hatred in Princeton’s student body.

    The DEI office’s response was swift and simple: No because “campus community members are not entitled to personal meetings.”

    I kept trying, including by getting more influential members of the Princeton community to reiterate my request.

    But the DEI office held firm, even as antisemitism became prominent amid campus protests, walkouts and everyday interactions.

    To this day, the DEI office has not met with me, though I have been punished for pushing back on antisemitism in the Slack channel.
    …

    DEI ideology has been weaponized against me — and Jews more broadly, as groups like Do No Harm have documented across higher education.

    I should have known. For all its talk about justice and the importance of oppressed lives, DEI cares about neither — at least, not in a consistent or holistic way.

    It divides groups of people based on superficial characteristics, then assumes they can do no right or do no wrong depending on their identity and relationship to other groups.

    Jews, it turns out, are forever damned, deserving no support when victimized.
    If silence is violence, then silence about antisemitism at Princeton is driving ongoing calls for violence against Jews.

    Someone needs to fight this hatred, which threatens more than just Jews.

    On Dec. 26, Princeton graduate students will elect a new DEI officer who will interact with the university’s DEI office and set the tone for the Graduate Student Government.

    I’m running for the position.

    While I have no illusions about fixing the DEI enterprise as such, I believe in applying diversity, equity and inclusion in their distinct and positive forms.

    In fact, my approach to these concepts will be the same as my approach to medicine, giving every individual the best possible treatment regardless of identity.

    That means condemning antisemitism while treating everyone equally, based on their innate human dignity and worth.

    This unifying vision stands in stark contrast to the divisive DEI that I’ve encountered.

    I believe that’s what most of my fellow graduate students want — a DEI officer who respects diversity, practices equal treatment and includes the excluded.

    Surely it’s time to confront hatred instead of condoning it.

    This liberal has been mugged by reality, but doesn’t want to press charges yet.

    Still, getting someone into the office who believes in the (alleged) ideals of DIE, where he will have to deal with the charlatans who know the true agenda, could be the tipping point for conversion.

  23. Bill K.

    I’m down with 1943. Which conveniently overlooks, in a broader scale, what Japan became after the war.

    Hey, welcome to human nature over time. You could have been talking about Rwandans, Burundians, Romans, Greeks, Turks, Vikings being only good when dead

  24. Regarding Psalm 83 – I believe it is read every year at Israel’s national Memorial Day ceremony. It is as applicable today as it was when it was written.

    AesopFan, thanks for sharing that link about Dulberg. A courageous, determined, and principled fellow!

  25. The corruption of the UN was inevitable when Stalin’s USSR was made a permanent member of the security council in 1948; an ally of Nazi Germany from Sept 1939 to June 1941, a nation that invaded Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Eastern Poland and Estonia, and whose murderous policies resulted in the death of up to 30 million or so.
    Yep, the geniuses that run foreign policy in our govt have a long history of great decisions.
    And now these geniuses – in our govt and in the UN – are pressuring Israel for a cease fire, but in case nobody has noticed, no such pressure from ANYBODY for Hamas to stop fighting and return the hostages.

    But with Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan now providing “expert” advice, we can rest assured that US foreign policy will be on the correct track.

    Just ask the Iranians.

  29. JJ: “… we should try to move it [the UN] to a place where the living isn’t quite so easy.”
    I have been fantasizing about that myself. One semi-logical locale would be Istanbul (cum Constantinople) as a “cross roads” location between Europe and parts further East or South. But for some of us that is still not shit-hole enough for what they deserve.
