well, they were not saying the "american or israeli" thing without reason. i remember a few years ago there was an UN vote whether food should be considered a human right ... and every country in the world voted in favor, except two ... america and israel.

(since america is a veto power, the proposal didn't pass)

Yeah that's one of many black marks on America's sanity, and as you remind us, particularly relevant in this way.

One of those classic "A shitty person has a point" moments (not you, them).

I will say that I'm pretty sure they had 0 downvotes until they started going Tankie Mode in the discussion I mentioned, so people seem to be downvotng based on that, not so much supporting the US or Israel.
