It Happened at the UN

The UN General Assembly have once again shown that they prefer to be on the wrong side of history.
The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution Tuesday that called on Israel to comply with an advisory International Court of Justice ruling to dismantle the security fence and pay reparations to the Palestinians.With a vote of 150 in favor, 6 against and 10 abstentions, the assembly adopted the resolution with the support of dozens of nations that had opposed sending the issue to The Hague last December.
And once again, it was left to the Axis-of-Good to vote against the resolution.
Nations that voted against the resolution included Israel, the US, Australia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau.
Update: I like how Charles sums it up:
The dictators, cronies, bagmen, and sycophantic toadies of the United Nations General Assembly have voted 150-6 that Israel is violating the human rights of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Al Aqsa Martyrsí Brigades.
To quote Glenn Reynolds: Indeed.

I don’t know what we ever did to deserve the unswerving support and loyalty of Micronesia… but I LOVE those guys!
Israelis should be booking vactions there to the exclusion of all other destinations! Um, wait a minute… that’s probably the best way to get them to loathe us.
