No need for regret. We should stop looking for lazy way out of life. Let's manage the enormous resources that we we have and stop taking 11% shares in resources on our land and do more realistic negotiations and work hard to develop rather than sit and think some one owes us for the indiscretion of our ancestors who played active role in slavery themselves!

Until the adoption of the UN Resolution, the Holocaust was considered the most atrocious event in that category. Voting to give away that leverage was unthinkable for Israel. That aside, Israel has never been a friend of Africa. In the context of Judaism, the most Israelis will choose money and power over compassion for the non Jew. This is not antisemitism but verifiable in the teachings of the Rabbis. The Arabs, though slightly better, are not different when you’re not a Muslim. The only people who care for you regardless, are Africans and to some extent Europeans. As we speak, Americans and Americans will take in Iranian, Yemeni and Afghan refugees.

I will bet my last pesewa that you are one of the many ill informed people who have been brainwashed to believing that the blood thirsty Zionist Israel supported by imperialist / evil United States government whose congress takes orders from the Kenneset as God chosen people. I won’t be surprised to see you as a member of the mushroom One man churches who are on the payroll of the Zionist / Genocidal Israel that is slaughtering, terrorizing and determined to wipeout Palestinians and Arabs from the Middle East with the tacit approval of the United States, United Kingdom and some Western European countries. So, you believe the nonsense and manufactured lies / propaganda put out there the rogue Israel & United States about self defense groups like Hamas & Hezbolla that they are terrorists? Your logic is warped and you are lacking basic understanding of the situation or conflicts in the Middle East spearheaded and orchestrated by Israel with United States financial and logistical support. Kwame “ gyan gyan) wake up from your slumber and start thinking on your own before you lazily/ ignorantly expose your stupidity and incompetence. Come back again Twerp!!!

I agree with @Yao's wording: "one of the gravest atrocities ".

Bear in mind, there are other very grave atrocities such as the murder of about 10 to 12 million Congolese by the evil Leopold II and Belgium, the Trans Sahara (carrid out by the Arabs, who voted for the resolution but have plans for paying reparations, some of which are still engaged slave trade to this day), the Jewish holocaust by the German Nazis, etc.

Reparations should be paid to the descendants of the former slaves, not to African countries, which actually sold out their fellow Africans. The descendants of African slave sellers still boast about being NDEHYEƐ (royals) and despise others they refer to as NKOA (slaves). And this is rife in many African societies. After participating in and benefiting from a crime, you don't turn around and take compensation as a victim of the same crime.

Israel did not vote against the reparations resolution because of its partnership with the USA in the Iran war. Israel is on record as voting all the time alongside the USA at the UN, for the USA not only supplies Israel with military weapons but also funds Israel yearly to the tune of billions of dollars. Israel also acts as a proxy of the USA in a silent plan to contain the Middle East, and this also accounts for why Israel always votes with the USA on UN resolutions. If Israel had issue with the wording of the resolution, it would have asked for a rewording of that resolution. The USA never wants to deal with any resolutions that address the slave trade, and now that Nazi Trump is President and is openly against anything having to do with African-Americans, that slavery reparations resolution was definitely going be be opposed by the USA and it's proxy Israel.

Israel was following the orders of its master the USA, the same USA that affords Israel military protection as well as providing it with billions of dollars every year. When the UN placed an arms embargo o9n the Apartheid regime of South Africa, the USA that was getting its minerals supplies from the Afrikaners clandestinely shipped nuclear weapons to the Apartheid regime, using Israel as the transporter. Israel then had the USA also build its nuclear weapons system in exchange for secretly carrying the USA's nuclear weapons supplies to South Africa. Once the Apartheid regime was in control of nuclear weapons, it issued a warning to African countries to refrain from making any attempt to attack the regime or else these countries would be wiped out by its nuclear weapons. Israel not not benefited from the USA building its nuclear weapons system, it also received a sweet heart diamonds deal from the De Beers family in South Africa, and this resulted in all diamonds mined in South Africa being sent directly to Israel to be cut, polished and distributed to the two major diamond distribution centers in London and Brussels, and from these two centers, the diamonds were then sold to wholesalers around the globe. Israel has never been a friend of black African countries.

Very stupid and condescending reasoning to vote against the resolution, because Isreal still wanted to milk the Holocaust as a basis to be regarded as the most persecuted people in the world. In the west, any criticism of the Zionist regime, is interpreted as antisemitism. Meanwhile, the genocide that Isreal is continuing on the Palestinians is nothing but the Palestinians version of the Holocaust. Slavery was a worser form of crime against humanity. Unlike the Holocaust that lasted less than five years, slavery lasted more than three centuries and involed over 15 million Africans. We don't need any Zionist explanation

hypocrisy and pathological lies are detrimental to Ghana's history and national development is a recurring theme in political commentary and historical analysis of the country. These issues often revolve around political propaganda, the manipulation of historical facts, and the actions of leadership.
Key aspects regarding this topic include:
Political Propaganda and Misinformation: Political supporters are often accused of circulating falsehoods and engaging in propaganda, which can mislead citizens, particularly regarding national development issues like the free Senior High School (SHS) policy, E-levy, and digitalisation.
Historical Distortion and Leadership Accountability: Commentary on Ghanaian politics often highlights the hypocrisy of leaders who claim to represent the poor while behaving differently, with some analysts describing the actions of certain leaders, "pathology of sadistic lies" and opportunistic.
Institutional Violence and Memory: The history of Ghana is also marred by state violence that occurred after independence, which is often under-discussed. Truth commissions have attempted to document these experiences, revealing a legacy of pain that still impacts national reconciliation.
Impact on National Development: The reliance on propaganda and the lack of analytical, independent thought among the populace can hinder democratic development and the ability to hold leaders accountable.
Note: The results indicate a strong, contentious debate within Ghanaian political discourse regarding the actions of past leaders, rather than a single, universally accepted historical narrative of destruction.

1.) Are they more knowledgeable than all other nations that voted to align considering the wording?
2.) Or are they in the process of, or considering to committing graver crime than what was stipulated?
Eeeeeiiii God of Israel people.

Yes, the UN General Assembly had accepted that "Slavery" was a crime against humanity with reparations, and who is going to pay what to who?

Some African leaders, especially John Maham, is expecting some billions of dollars coming from some countries just to pocket it. This slavery narratives were started by some past leaders, and why is Mahama trying to behave as if he did all by himself?

Is slavery over or, it has taken another form? If our leaders failed to put proper measures to help alleviate hardship on their citizens, isn't that slavery in another form, and who is going to be held accountable for that?

If your position is the wording, then the least thing you could have done is to Abstain. but to vote against gives a strong statement and that is very shameful and regrettable to do that.

The local battle rages on even as the resolution had been read and adopted at the UN. We do not need this ambassador to explain why his country voted against the resolution. We are passing through an era where Israel has dropped american bombs and continue to do so on Palestinians in the Gaza strip. Over 76,000 civilians, over half of this number consisting women and children were killed and their homes destroyed because Israel and the US want to encroach on their land. Israel attacked Lebanon and has seized over 10% of their land. This country Israel ventured into Syria and squatting
on part of Syrian land. With strange excuses, Israel teamed up to
attack Iran barely six weeks ago claiming Iran was developing a nuclear bomb. Strangely enough, the US and Israel are nuclear-armed countries. They drop bombs every day on Iran and boast about it. They even try to paint Iran as a country full of evil. Look, the anchor of slave trade is the US, then the UK and then the european countries. Those involved abstained except the US. As for Argentina, God bless its inhabitants. But what really coerced Israel to vote against and not abstain? Israel has become a rogue nation, defying all UN resolutions withe support of the US which is a member of the security council. Therefore Israel will do the bidding of the US. Israel will always tell lies to justify its crimes. They claimed that they were fighting Hamas but they were committing genocide in the Gaza. Today, they claim they were fighting Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon but alas, they are busy stealing Lebanese lands, displacing their population and laying waste Lebanon. The holocaust was led by Adolf Hitler in the early part of the 20th century. He was a German chancellor. Germany has made reparations to Israel, a Jewish nation. If these are the facts on the table, what then is the Israeli ambassador here saying? In my personal view, anyone who walks out of line must be whipped into position. But where it is impossible to do so, you isolate that fellow. Tomorrow, he might turn his guns unto you.

Mr Israeli we don't rank "crime against humanity" so what about Holocaust? Which is so dear to you. And your antisemitism stance and laws. Atrocities meted out to slaves were more than the Jews that were killed in gas chambers. What are you talking about here? You should have abstained and deal with your Holocaust. Wait one day when you won't get US support that is when you will see the wrath of the rest of the world. You kill innocent Palestinians and Lebanese people like ants and you think you won't pay for it? You are not more human than anybody else.

Why are we not surprised. It always has to be about the Jews, not wanting their tiny so called holocaust to be eclipsed by the real holocaust of all time. When history truly and finally is put in its rightful context we will get the real picture of what life has truly been about. This isn't a competition about who suffered the most in the world, it's about recognising the facts. History teaches us that people of colour have always suffered worse at the hands of Europeans and Western Imperialists. Look what they are still doing to Gaza! What they are doing to the Palestinians eclipses the Jewish holocaust any day! IMO but I digress. Significantly the Jewish role in the Maafa was a whole lot worse because they were behind it, funded the first ship that carried Africans across the Atlantic, and kept it going with their filthy lucre for centuries while pretending to be innocent. Notice how those who abstained or voted no in the UN are prime beneficiaries to this day! They need to pay us all reparations now! If others e.g. Jews can get it so, should we! And no, just because I know the truth and can articulate it, doesn't mean I am anti Semitic. However if being pro Semitic means that we keep silent about centuries of Jewish atrocities then I can't label myself pro semitic either. I remain neutral and truthful.

In daily life, it is understandable that we may reflect on past experiences or revisit certain matters. At the same time, the Bible offers gentle guidance that can help us maintain peace of mind and strengthen our relationships.

For example, Ecclesiastics 7:10 encourages us not to dwell on the thought that former days were better than the present. While the past can offer valuable lessons, focusing too much on it may take away from the opportunities and blessings we have now.

Similarly, Proverbs 17:9 highlights the value of allowing past matters to remain settled. Repeatedly bringing them up may unintentionally affect closeness between individuals. Choosing instead to let such matters rest can help preserve unity and peace.

In addition, Titus 3:9 advises us to be mindful of the kinds of discussions we engage in. Some topics may not lead to meaningful or beneficial outcomes. Focusing on conversations that encourage and build up one another can be more rewarding.

Taken together, these principles kindly remind us to learn from the past without dwelling on it, to allow resolved matters to remain at rest, and to give attention to what promotes peace and mutual encouragement.

If Isreal did not see crimes in their country as the greatest, Ghana has seen slavery as the greastest crime against us. So what is the nonsense run and hide after they boldly made their decision to vote against us? They should be careful before Ghana bomb them out existence. Then Isreal could have abstained like other countries did.
