And also, guess what countries voted against condemning Nazism? Here’s a hint: everyone’s favorite eastern European country who everyone claims doesn’t have a Nazi issue and the Eagle country didn’t vote for it

^From^ ^Voting^ ^records^ ^of^ ^the^ ^Third^ ^Committee^^:^

Recorded vote on draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5, as orally revised and as amended - Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance

Recorded vote on draft amendment A/C.3/77/L.52 - Amendment to draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5

US and Ukraine voted no, on L.5. And yes on the L.52 amendment.


For reference:

The Committee then took up draft amendment “L.52”, which inserts a new operative paragraph, reading: “Notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism.”

Huh, Israel voted "yes" on the L5?

[-] ComradeEd@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. It also voted "yes" on L.52

You can only fight neo-Nazis if you leave it at talking about fighting neo-Nazis. If you actually go out and do any fighting then that's just counterproductive.

CW hate crimesI wonder what the Venn diagram is for people who argue for talking Nazis out of their views and people who support (or do the work of) planting hidden barrels wrapped in razor wire and barbed wire along the US border so that asylum seekers are forced into a deadly river.

That vote was one of the two times a day the Israeli broken clock was correct, iirc.

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago

Would have been super awkward if Israel voted against that.

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 1 year ago

It should have been awkward for all the countries that the Nazis invaded, but here we are

Bibi blamed Palestinians for holocaust, so...

When was the other one, out of curiosity?

[-] TheGamingLuddite@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah that was a pretty cool moment.
