Why do all the Polynesian countries support Israel so strongly?
They nearly always follow USA in voting, so Israel gets supported indirectly.
The COFA states are very strongly aligned with the US and pretty much always vote with them. I don't know much about, say, Tonga, but I'm guessing it's a way of signaling cooperation to the US as well.
