That's not a political statement either - it just a basic understanding of the vote and statistics.

In Europe, I will guess that the support for Israel is the majority.

The Gulf regions of Asia + the Middle East will be more pro-Palestine.

I would also guess that chunks of Africa would also be more pro-Palestine.

And the Americas I will guess are more pro-Israel.

I'm sorry for the longwinded post, I was just wondering if anyone thinks that my guesswork is close to the mark?
