UNGA voting against Israel

Australia has a better voting record than New Zealand and Europe; but it votes more like Europe than like Canada, Israel and the US. The only other countries voting with Israel with any regularity are Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Nauru also often votes contrary to the majority.

Japan, S. Korea, NZ and Europe are generally ambivalent in votes concerning Israel, though often pointedly voting against her. The rest of the world votes essentially as a bloc, spending most of its time coming up with resolutions against Israel. That bloc includes supposed Israeli "allies" such as India, Azerbaijan, Kenya, etc.
