    That one, and a bunch of other “common sense measures,” was/were because of internal US laws. I don’t agree with it, but the delegate has/had their hands tied because of our laws regarding the sovereignty of the US. Israel was just voting whatever way the US does, cause, again, their hands are tied politically.

      Sounds like internal US laws are a bunch of bullshit that are causing harm to people all over the world including the US

        Or maybe it’s that for a diplomat to recognize something is a right would cause a constitutional crisis.

            The US also has the longest lasting constitution, and some of the highest level of federalization. States are independent political entities.
