133 states support Israeli proposal at UN
WASHINGTON - A majority comprised of 133 states voted at the United Nations General Assembly Friday in favor of an Israeli proposal to make farming technology more accessible to developing African nations. Arab countries, who opposed the measure for political reasons, led a group of 35 nations who abstained from the vote.
The measure proposed by the Jewish state is expected to aid the Arab world among other regions, and is in line with the UN policy to eradiate hunger and poverty.

The post above mine claimed, essentially, that Palestinian nationalism amounted to racism

So anyone who criticizes Israe's policy toward Palestinians is really just an "anti-semite"?
