FACT:
In 2004, Jordan was the Arab nation that voted with the United States most often, and that was on only 30 per cent of the resolutions. The other Arab countries, including allies Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Egypt, voted against the United States 80 per cent of the time or more. As a group, in 2004, the Arab states voted against the United States on just under 80 per cent of the resolutions.
By contrast, Israel has consistently been America’s top UN ally. Israel voted with the US 100 per cent of the time in 2004, outpacing the support levels of major US allies such as Great Britain, France and Canada by more than 30 per cent (Voting Practices at the United Nations, US State Department).
