Abstain = We’re against a cease fire but we don’t really want to say that out loud, people might think we’re horrible…

I remember that at least the Finnish reason for abstaining is that Hamas was not mentioned nor their attack condemned in any way in the cease fire resolution. Canada started a petition to change the wording of the resolution and most countries who abstained voted for this.

This is the same bullshit excuse America used to veto the first ceasefire.

Then when a bill with condemnation was introduced America still vetoed it.

It's just a pretentious troll. Every country that abstained is owned by the israeli lobby. That said the veto is far worse.
