11. I can only answer for America
and that is because there is a "certain" constituency in this country that would make being gay a crime if it could, the same constituency that supports the current lame duck administration, IOW this abstention is pure politics. Perhaps in another month or so America will sign on, in fact I expect we will.

AS to your other point about rights not being incompatible I agree with you, that was not my point it was that this move by Israel will be used by those on this board that do not support civil rights for those in OPT and make excuses on an almost hourly basis for the lack of civil rights, I was not speaking solely of Israeli Palestinians.
