Reply to comment by Skydreamer6 in UN asks ICJ to consider ‘consequences’ for Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories by glawgii

Less than half voted in favor it seems, that's despite the ~56 Muslim countries automatic vote against Israel. The anti-Israel trend in the UN is decreasing.

How is 87 "less than half" of 164? It's more than half at 53 percent.

Your math is something…

The corpus is 193 members.

87 - 193 = 106

87 of 193 = 45%

106 of 193 = 55%

45% + 55%=100%

“Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations has an equal vote.”

Sure, if you wordsmith it right, then some won't notice what you did there. (Include non participants in your vote tally)
