you post is 100% bullshit!

when public votes are taken at the UN on anti-Israel motions at the UN, this is how the votes break down:

The typical vote split on resolutions critical of Israel at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) overwhelmingly favors the motions, consistently securing a large majority.

Typically lopsided majorities in favor (often 120–170+ yes), with a small number of no votes (usually under 15, frequently 2–10) and a variable number of abstentions (often 10–50+), in the UN General Assembly (UNGA).

Similar patterns appear in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), though with a smaller membership.

These resolutions—commonly focused on Israeli settlements, the Golan Heights, Palestinian self-determination/refugees/UNRWA, Jerusalem, or related practices—are adopted annually in large numbers (far more than for any other country).

UN Watch data shows the UNGA adopted 173 resolutions on Israel from 2015–2024 (vs. 80 on all other countries combined); figures for recent years include ~15–18 in 2024/2025. They are non-binding and often one-sided in content according to critics.

Typical/recent UNGA examples
Vote tallies (yes–no–abstain; non-voting excluded) commonly look like this:

High-support resolutions** (e.g., Palestinian self-determination, assistance to Palestine refugees):

Often ~160–172 yes, 3–8 no, 8–10 abstain. Examples include 172–7–8 or 171–3–9 in 2024 plenary votes; similar patterns (e.g., 164–8–9) appear in 2025.

Settlements / Israeli practices / Golan**:

Commonly ~146–152 yes, 4–13 no, 17–25 abstain (e.g., 151–9–19 or 150–4–25 in 2024; 146–13–17 in a 2025 settlements vote).

More contested or specialized ones** (e.g., certain investigative committees or specific criticisms):

Can dip lower on yes votes with more abstentions/no votes, such as ~87–26–53 or higher no counts (up to the mid-teens or low 20s in some cases). Emergency special session votes (e.g., on Jerusalem 2017 or Gaza ceasefires) have ranged around 120–128 yes, 8–14 no, 35–45 abstain.

Opponents typically include Israel and the United States, plus a shifting small group of others (frequently Pacific island states such as Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, or Tonga; sometimes Argentina, Hungary, Czechia, Paraguay, or others).

Abstentions have included various European, African, Latin American, and other states; recent trends show declining abstentions among some Western/EU countries on certain high-profile votes, increasing isolation for the no side.

Broader context and patterns

Israel (and often the U.S.) consistently votes against most of these; Israel has the highest voting coincidence with the U.S. overall in recent State Department reports, partly driven by these resolutions (which make up a notable share of contested UNGA votes).

UNHRC votes follow a comparable imbalance (e.g., dozens of yes vs. a handful of no over the years), with Israel facing far more resolutions than other countries combined in many periods.

Historical outliers exist (e.g., the 1975 “Zionism is racism” resolution:

72–35–32, later revoked), but the modern annual package has been consistently lopsided for decades.

Not every Israel-related text is identical in support; more balanced or consensus items (e.g., some assistance resolutions) differ, and Security Council action is constrained by vetoes.

In short, the “typical” split is a large automatic majority in favor, a tiny and relatively consistent core of opposition, and a moderate-to-large bloc of abstentions that has narrowed in some recent high-profile cases.

Exact numbers vary by resolution wording, geopolitical context (e.g., post-Oct. 7 developments), and year. Official UN records and trackers like UN Watch provide full breakdowns.
