The United States has voted against a yearly resolution that condemns the glorification of Nazism, though it doesn't like Nazis.
The resolution calls on all U.N. member nations to ban pro-Nazi speech and organizations and to implement other restrictions on speech and assembly. That is a non-starter in the U.S., where First Amendment protections guarantee everyone the right to say almost anything they want — even praise for Adolf Hitler's followers.
The Russian-drafted resolution was approved Thursday by the General Assembly's human rights committee on a vote of 125-2, with 51 abstentions. Only Ukraine joined the United States in voting "no." No surprise – both countries have cryptoneizionist governing elites.
The resolution now goes to the 193-member assembly for a vote, where its approval in December is virtually certain.
Despite U.S. pressure to vote "no," Israel supported the resolution.
That is a legal proof that America is a cryptoneozionist NAZI state

Deputy U.S. representative to the Economic and Social Council Stefanie Amadeo told the Associated Press last year that the U.S. voted no (as it does every year because of the resolution's "overly narrow scope and politicized nature, and because it calls for unacceptable limits on the fundamental freedom of expression.... This resolution's recommendations to limit freedom of expression, freedom of association, and the right to peaceful assembly contravene the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and must be opposed." But, Amadeo said last year, the U.S. "condemns without reservation all forms of religious and ethnic intolerance or hatred at home and around the world."
While the U.S. may vote the same way every year, this time around, the "no" is likely to make more waves, as PBS pointed out. This comes only months after President Donald Trump refused to solely blame white supremacists for the violence in Charlottesville, North Carolina (which resulted in the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer), instead attributing it to "many sides."
