Israel has voted against a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling to reaffirm Ukraine’s territorial integrity, rejecting a strongly worded condemnation of Russia’s invasion of its neighbor on the third anniversary of the war.

Eighteen countries voted against the resolution, 93 voted in favor, and 65 abstained.

    There must be a lot of soul-searching taking place in Berlin tonight after Germany ended up voting against Israel at the UN.

      I am actually quite relieved about it, as it demonstrates that germany is not just appeasing israel by the bon mot of “never again”. It is actually taken seriously. Despite a bunch of eastern germans voting for neo-nazis because they are undereducated, economically disadvantaged and clearly living in an information bubble.

        Germany has conceded on optics but they still provide 30% of the weapons for the genocide on Palestinians.

        Fuck propaganda has done a number on these people, exploiting their anger by pointing it to the wrong people.
