Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?

Your comment is a bit weird. The second section describes exactly why it makes no sense to be ranking crimes against humanity, which would include this resolution picking one winner.

Why then lead with the first section?

Because, while I agree that it's bad to rank various crimes against humanity, I don't like how Israel tries to weaponize the holocaust as a shield against any kind of criticism.
