Other countries voting against the fence were Micronesia, Australia, Ethiopia, the Pacific islands of Nauru, Marshall Islands and Palau. That's nice.

I suspect this is wrong: These sound like the countries that have consistently voted with Israel. I'll bet these are the other countries voting against the resolution.
In fact, I looked back to the Jerusalem post story:
Ninety voted for the motion, eight against, including the United States, Israel, Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Uganda and the Pacific islands Naui and Palau. Seventy-four abstained, including the members of the European Union.

Australia and the other countries mentioned voted against the resolution,i.e,with Israel and the US.The line above was a misprint.
