The United States was the only nation to vote against The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) vote on Friday in Geneva to approve a report which blamed Israel for violating human rights in Gaza during last summer's conflict there. The UNHRC report accuses Israel as much as Hamas for violating international law during what is known in Israel as "Operation Protective Edge."

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office Tweeted "Thank you President Obama for standing with Israel at UNHRC."

The vote passed 41 to 1 with Ethiopia, India, Paraguay, Macedonia and Kenya all abstaining. EU member states like France, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands all voted in favor of adopting the report. On the bright side, India's abstention means a great deal since Israel has improved relations with that country over the past few years.
