All the Baltic States abstained

Why?

Neighbouring with an aggressor country (Russia), which you want to maintain calm relationships with, and then you also want to maintain calm relationships with the United States, because if war breaks out, they are fully dependant on NATO reacting and being there for them.

Russia was for and the US was against.

Therefore, to maintain good geopolitical relationships with each country, abstention was the stance taken in this current vote.

It’s not about the topic at hand that they are against it or don’t want to support it, it’s geopolitical relationships

Canada tried to pass an amended so the resolution unequivocally condemned the terror attack by Hamas, and the Assembly rejected it. So that's all there is to say about the resolution and its sincerity. If anything, you have 120 states led by genocidal criminals, that's what's shocking.

It's not a take. It's explaining exactly what happened during the voting, so your take can be seen in context.
