And still a resolution is not given without reason.
If you think that then you don't know how resolutions are proposed and passed in the UN, or the difference between any reason and a good reason
2018 UN General Assembly Resolutions Singling Out Israel - Texts, Votes, Analysis - UN Watch

bloc voting and knee jerk positions
"Since Israel’s establishment, Arab member states of the UN have used the General Assembly (GA) as a forum for isolating and chastising Israel. With support from third-world nations, particularly the Non-Aligned Movement, and others, the Arab states have had little difficulty passing harsh anti-Israel resolutions through the GA"

the "reason" is the expression of the bias. Note that when there is an opportunity to pass a resolution with a reason regarding anyone else, the vote fails.

resolutions passed without a vote, resolutions sponsored by states rife terror. Yeah, Waldheim had "reason" to criticize Israel for the raid on Entebee.

The reasons are many and varied and UN membership comprises of members from several countries with different views.

And the Israelis are allowed to vote and the Muslims are not. Its called Aparteid for those ignorant of it.

Wrong. There is no such law making it illegal for Muslims that are Israeli to vote. You are repeating propaganda as you would cite the law if it were true. Try again.

Did you do any research on the bona fides of the people running the site you just quoted? I think not. They admit to no expertise or background. Just one guy with an undergraduate degree in communications, and 5 volunteers.

I think Kofi Anan had something to say about UN Watch, but you might discount his opinion because he actually has some experience in the field.

Your claim was "And the Israelis are allowed to vote and the Muslims are not". The response was that Muslims who are citizens of Israel CAN vote ("no such law making it illegal for Muslims that are Israeli to vote"). Now you have changed your claim to be about "West Bank Palestinians." Are you talking about Muslims or "Palestinians"? Are you talking about Israeli citizens or not?

no you misread my original post, West bank Palestinians are considered non people by the Israeli government and cannot vote in elections, however invading settlers have full right as Israeli citizens.

So, if people who are citizens vote and people who aren't and don't want to be don't, you think that's the problem?

Like I keep saying, there's plenty of blame to spread around here. But you don't even seem to grasp the basics when the facts get in the way of your opinions.

WB isn't part of Israel not are Israeli citizens. Israeli citizens can vote as they are citizens still. Location does not automatically make one not a citizen. I can be in the US on tour yet I am still a Canadian and can vote in Canadian elections. I just need to go to a Canadian government consulate or embassy to turn my vote in.

Next!

I quoted your original post (#250). You changed your position after being shown you were wrong.

no I am referring to the citizens of Israel's west bank that are not allowed to vote because it would dilute the Jewish vote

Evidence... Got any?

Palestinians: We are our own sovereign state!

Also Palestinians: We demand the right to vote in another nation which we say has no authority over us!

Yet they are fair and honest and unlike UN watch, they use reputable sources

And i can assume you have researched the bona fides of UN watch?

P.s. there are several other, indipendent sources that criticise UN watch for their biassed content

The Palestinians just want their land back, if it was Ukrainians that took there land they'd want to defeat the Ukrainians
