<span>Note that even the UK has voted in favor!</span>
ReplyDeleteNew Zeland too! In contrast with the shameful Australian vote..
ReplyDeleteThe United States routinely defies the entire world, discredits itself, denigrates the United Nations Security Council and General Assembly, and makes a mockery of the UN, by backing its wayward "friend", Israel, regardless of the circumstances.
ReplyDeleteThe British delegate must have been drunk and confused.
ReplyDeleteHeh...Note that Micronesia is a much better ally to us than Israel is! Micronesia doesn't bomb our ships, steal our military secrets, spy on us, send us to war and bilk us out of billions...hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the EU is unanimous in their vote on this one Jemmy.. It's pretty much the US/ Israel versus the world. Australia , not unlike Palau and Nuru, doesn't count.. just a lackay of the US. Besides, the Jewish lobby over here is rarely challenged..
ReplyDeleteGreat title!
ReplyDelete<span style="">Australia is pissing me off. Their vote is always unanimous with the US no questions asked. They're terrified of the Indonesians ( 20 minutes by boat ) . Wasn't Paul Keating an Ex Prime Minister that said " their are 300 Millions of them and 30 Million of us ". They're hoping for US protection .I know I sound like anan </span>
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much extra the US public pays for a no vote as opposed to an abstention.
