This particular rejection vote by the US in the UN is a bit peculiar to me. Obviously, I understand the sensitivity around the situation--so why not abstain from the vote? Why when given that option, not use abstention and instead choose rejection? It sends a powerful and deliberate message, and I'm not sure who it's supposed to appease nor what interests that represents.
