Six Pacific states line up with US-Israel against UN vote for Gaza ceasefire

Of the 12 nation states that directly lined up with the US and Israel to vote "no," six were small Pacific states with a median population of just 80,000 people. Four of these--Nauru, Palau, Marshall Islands and Micronesia--are impoverished micro-states, with the latter three functioning as colonies of the United States in all but name. The other two governments with larger populations that aligned with Washington and Tel Aviv--Papua New Guinea and Fiji--again demonstrated their abject subservience to imperialism.
