UK vote AGAINST UN glorification of Nazism resolution

West – including UK – votes AGAINST UN motion banning glorification of Nazism

The UK has joined the US and other western nations in voting against a United Nations resolution pledging to fight the rise of Nazi ideology and other forms of racism.

The motion, titled “Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism & other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia & related intolerance“, was opposed by almost the whole West and supported by Russia as well as almost every Asian, African and South American nation.

As journalist Alan MacLeod noted:

Yesterday, the United Nations voted on a resolution "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism & other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia & related intolerance."

Virtually the entire West voted against it.… pic.twitter.com/d8fJtwQIaq

UN vote on Nazism throws open Ukraine issue

The vote was also a tacit admission that Ukraine is infested by Nazi’s – something that was freely discussed by Western media and politicians before Russia invaded part of it, but quickly airbrushed out after it became inconvenient to admit, with the BBC’s Ros Atkins making a farcical ‘report‘ in March 2022, shortly after the invasion, dismissing Ukrainian Nazism that still remains online three and a half years later:

The following day, the BBC ran a report showing its correspondent Jeremy Bowen reporting from Ukraine surrounded by troops wearing Nazi insignia. It was quickly deleted from the broadcaster’s ‘iPlayer’ but can still be viewed here.

Goodness me, @realalexrubi, I bet the State Department wish he hadn’t said that. Everyone, especially @bbcrosatkins, should listen to this this engagingly honest outburst, especially the mocking bits in falsetto. Makes Putin look like Bertrand Russell. https://t.co/2Nug8NRwnc

As journalist Alan MacLeod noted:

Western countries feel that the resolution undermines their support for Ukraine, and that the bill is a thinly-veiled Russian attempt to smear their ally. The resolution has been voted on every year since 2012, where it overwhelmingly passed 129-3, with only the US, Canada and Palau voting against it.

The US remains the only country to vote “no” to the resolution every time since 2012. The West’s overwhelming rejection of anti-fascism as an ideology, coupled with the rise in far-right sentiment, hints at a very dark future.

  It would have been a cold day in Hades before the Canary would have written an article like this.
  
  You are bringing back the ‘edge’ it has been losing since the ouster of the founder.

“The vote was also a tacit admission that Ukraine is infested by Nazi’s – something that was freely discussed by Western media and politicians…”

This article from The Nation of February 2019, with its multiple links to other sources in the West expressing the same concerns, being a pertinent example.

However, the other elephant in the room is the amplification of The Official Narrative (TON) of the context and causes of the conflict, which ignores not only events such as the US financed Maiden coup and the use of these neo-Nazis as a proxy to carve up the Eurasian Heartland for Western Oligarch interests, but also the targeting of civilians (including Trade Unionists) who speak the “wrong” language (legally outlawed by these Nazis); follow the “wrong” religion; have the “wrong” culture; and belong to what is considered to be an “inferior” ethnic group.

This event in the Odessa Trade Union building being one of many atrocities committed against civilians in the East and South of Ukraine :

Despite adhering to two agreements (Minsk 1 & 2) which Western politicians subsequently admitted were not made in good faith, rejecting a number of pleas from besieged ethnic Russians citizens in the Donbass Region for assistance under the UN R2P conventions (which after much prevarication by the Russian Federation was eventually pursued) and tabling serious proposals for non-zero sum mutually beneficial Eurasian security in December 2021 we are still hearing this inaccurately described as an invasion against all the available facts.

One of those facts being the approximate 3:1 advantage of the defending armed forces.

Presumably, under this narrative a scenario in which, say, the Egyptian armed forces entered Gaza under the same UN R2P conventions to protect Palestinian civilians would also be described as an unprovoked and illegal invasion?
