UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity'

The landmark resolution calls for an apology and contributions to a reparations fund, without specifying an amount.

Of course, 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 🇦🇷 voted no against this resolution, but a big group of 52 countries also abstained, mostly from 🇪🇺 (and yes, that includes 🇳🇱 as well). So much for showing remorse and turning a blind eye against their own history. 🤦🏽‍♂️ 🤦🏽

What did you expect from countries (governments) supporting a genocide?

Neither Spain nor Ireland support the genocide in Gaza...

@grb090423 @freediverx @ryanjess77 Exceptions don’t break the rule and all that.

And Spain were slave traders.

No, you're right, they don't, and yes Spain absolutely was (like most European countries). I was just pointing out the stance of both countries in the Gaza genocide matter. Good has to be acknowledged sometimes for it to be able to contiue and hopefully spread.
