    Why if more vote for combating it than against or abstaining does this broken system allow it to be ignored to benefit nazis?

      Because unless the vote is literally unanimous it is completely meaningless since the US has a veto on everything. And the US will never vote to condemn itself and its proxies.

      In prior years only the US and Ukraine voted against this resolution. Every year it is only the US and the Zionist apartheid regime that vote against lifting the Cuban embargo.

      Neither resolution ever gets passed. These two examples are the perfect illustration for why the UN is a completely toothless and captured institution.
