    I couldn’t find the third country which voted against it, then I found the god’s own people who were freed from slavery by god.

      Jewish Holy Scriptures are not against slavery at all. They go in large detail about how to treat the slaves.

      Leviticus 25:44-46

      “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

      They aren’t really for or against the African slave trade, but they take umbrage with anyone claiming October 7th and the thousands of beheaded babies wasn’t the worst crime in human history
