World demands end to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine, in landslide UN vote

Ben Norton analyzes the geopolitics of the vote, and how the US and most of the West is violating international law.

Shame on sweden noble prize giver who does not understand the meaning PEACE

I have been taught shame all my life for being German. Because of what was done to the Jews, we have been making ammends ever since which is fully justifiable, but when the offspring of victims become the bullies and hypocrits that they are it is time to stop supporting this madness.
Once again I am ashamed (and rightfully so) to be German, but let me tell you that I do not stand behind ministers such as Markus Söder who eagerly claims his support for Israel. There are many like me here who despise what is going on, but sadly those in power still grovel at the feet of a heartless hypocritical warmonger.

Modi is anti-Muslim but has no problem trading with Muslim countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. What a joke!

Those countries that voted against or abstained should be so ashamed of themselves!

I am ashamed of my country's complicity, silence and abstention

Sadly, my country, Canada, acted like a weasel once again and opted to not vote even though the world court has already said there is much to condemn Israel over.

I am an Australian, and I am ashamed of my government's abstention from voting against Israel illegal occupation of Palestine.

When Zionism is gone for good then the Palestinians will have peace 🕊️ Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Kenya is in the pockets of America so they abstain which is a shame because they were colonialized by Great Britain and knows the horror of European colonialization

[entertexthere]

I'm proud of the Philippines, even though we are one of the closest ally and has a mutual defense treaty with US, we still stand for the right. Voted Yes.

Shame on India for not supporting Palestinians struggle for freedom. India is the only BRICS country not supporting people’s struggles. 😮😢

[mikestanmore]

As an Australian, I would like to say I am appalled at the gutless actions of my government.

[LD-qxbu]

Why 12 months? It should be 12 days or even 12 hours instead !!! What this planet needs is NO MORE WARS anywhere in the world

[stellamillburn]

Don’t forget Norway - they voted to recognise Palestine 🍉
