      Why is it funny? This thread is littered with random musings and most posters aggressively refuse to refer to specifics. And generally have a comically impractical take on the issue.

      What you brought up is a solid point, Ukraine abstained when it should have voted in favour (I say this as someone who votes in Ukrainian elections, pay taxes, donates etc.).

      Is that it? So Ukraine voting in favour (or against Israel) would stop the killing in Gaza?

      What would change if Ukraine voted for (which I would have preferred) in the Oct 2024 General Assembly vote?

        It’s funny because those strings don’t come publicly, but knowing Israel we get a good impression what they are. Would it stop? Probably not, but then again it makes Ukraine complicit and saying it doesn’t matter is wrong. Every vote matters, that’s how we are supposed to stop it. 🤷‍♂️

          It makes Ukraine complicit? In what? Where does Ukraine say it doesn’t matter about the horrors the Israel is doing in Gaza?

          So the secret demands from Israel are so powerful that they can’t even get Ukriane to vote against (for Israel) and not abstain?
