Its always those two for any attempt to improve human rights rules

This is why no country should have veto power. The USA and Israel have held back the UN from fulfilling its promise for...ever, really. China, Russia, and other have pitched in to fuck up good things from time to time but it's usually the big two war god worshipping nations.
When a religion is based on worshipping a god of war, don't be surprised when they're violent; physically, mentally, verbally, politically...
Edit: as pointed out in a reply: Israel has no veto power.
From my research.
This wasn't a UN vote. It was a committee vote on whether to bring it to the assembly or not. Obviously if the US is against it then there's no reason to have a vote.
Also it wasn't really making food a right for your citizens, it was about using starvation as a war tactic.
Israel has no veto power, thank god
AKA Israel and Israel-lite
The plot twist here is that Israel is actually US-lite. Israel is commiting its genocide in an effort to steal native land, the US completed its genocidal land acquisition long ago.
And boy did it pay out.

is torture bad

was the african slave trade bad

is nazism bad

are Palestinians human beings

is nazism bad
In the context of the war in Ukraine – and with Russia justifying its invasion, which began on 24 February, by the desire to "denazify" the country – many states that had previously abstained decided to vote against the resolution this year.
This one had me confused, because in some states Nazi symbols sends you to jail in Australia, yet they voted against it.
"just vote no, you never know what rights-less people we will need to torture down the line with slavery and naziism!"
There’s a country that was planted somewhere it didn’t belong, murdered the people already living there, and claimed the land as its own… and then there’s its ally, Israel
It's always those two. But hey, don't you ever dare saying so because you'll always find someone who goes either "But not all americans!!!!" Or "OMG! Antisemitism!!!!!".
That's not really harsh. I knew thus shit since the day I was 5 and watched Israel kill children on TV in 2002/2003
That's what I would have expected.
US: "human rights are a commodity, and you get them if you have the money."
Israel: "The natives aren't humans. And we humans have food, so no declaration needed."
One is the Ferengi nation. The other is a classic Apartheid state.
Shocker! The country that can't even agree to give children free lunches in schools voted that food isn't a human right? I'm more and more shameful of my country by the second.
If we just give the children food, what incentive will they have to work in the mines?
Here's a harsh reality people need to understand.
Israel is NOT the US's rabid dog.
Israel owns US politicians.
Israel is taking over US media
Israel is working to forcibly integrate the US's military into its own
Israel has dragged the US into multiple illegal wars of aggression against it's regional opponents
Israel is training ICE, the US gestapo
Israel is selling spyware to the US to spy on Americans.
Israel isn't the US's rabid dog.
Israel is COLONIZING the USA
Bro, when Eritrea and fucking Afghanistan declare food a human right, but not fucking America?????
Yeah, America is fucked.
Look, you can't make profitable things a "right", that just leads to lower profits becsuse pesky regulations around what people "have a right to".
/s
Glad to not see the usual excuses here when this is mentioned saying nonsense about "trying to force us to pay".
should have declared it anyway
USA has a veto 😁
This was a vote in the General Assembly, where no country has a veto. It's one of the only institutions in the world where one can gauge global sentiments instead of what "the international community" has decided. The veto is in the security council, where the powerful countries that make up "the international community" rule over everyone else.
