Usual suspects voting no. No real surprises here.

How many countries are helding israel accountable of torturing palestinians for 77 years?
Waiting to read how this is antisemitism and pro-terrorism... Come on Zionists do the thing for my bingo card.
Lol when I saw the title of this Lemmy post I thought to myself "I bet it's the two usual suspects voting no" and lo and behold. Plus their third.
It’s a bit like asking: How many of you are currently torturing people or planning to do so in the near future? Even if you aren’t actively participating in such heinous crimes, but your best buddy is, and you don’t want to sever the relationship, that counts as well.
Even if you aren’t actively participating in such heinous crimes
We know at least 2 of those 3 do it. Then you have Argentina who really wants to be part of the group chat
It's not even that, a good chunk of the countries who voted yes probably are currently torturing people or planning to do so in the near future. Ffs North Korea voted yes. These are just the countries self righteous enough to think torturing is a good thing and are willing to go on record to say so.
I am all for it, but China voting in favour is weird given the human rights situation in the country imo.
Why would one even vote against? Just vote for and ignore the resolution, like probably 80% of those green countries.
