Once again, you're stating that the NAM does not have an opinion of it's own, and once again, insulting said states. Believe it or not, the world does NOT revolve around the US. States DO think for themselves, and not one that I know makes a decision based on "Well, how is the US voting?"
2% isn't exactly a powerful amount, especially if a counterbalance pro-western movement turned out to vote, and I seriously doubt many would go for election on the promise of "changing the foreign policy".

All your showing is that you don't pay attention to the politcs of the UN. Your personal views are irrelevent when the US is just going to do what it wants anyway. Therefore nations angry about this tend to vote overwhelmingly against anything the US supports no matter what it is... right down to the US deciding to chip in for a better thread count for the napkins in the UN Cafeteria.
Let alone work against a State that see's wide US support.
Were the area divided from the US. It would just be anothe Nagomo-Karrabagh.
The only people who will really care that much will be those already in the region.
If the US were to withdraw support and start calls for boycotts, suddenly South America would greatly change it's tune... and Russian or China would likely offer military aid. Suddenly countries in Africa with Muslim rebels would support Israel.

Have we witnessed a US backpedal before which caused Russian/Chinese change of opinion in rhetoric before? I would say that if I was the US, I wouldn't exactly count on that to happen. Russia and the US may not see eye to eye on a lot of things, but I seriusly doubt a US backpedal would suddenly turn Russia's foreign policy. Probably a bit of confusion, but that's about it.
Wait what? Muslim rebels would NOT support Israel if the US left. If anything the Muslims would suddenly show a lot of American support for their boycott of Israel.

Ok... your profile says Austrlia... but are you from there originally and is english your first language? This may sound insulting, but this is a serious question. This is yet another case of you not reading what i wrote correctly.
"Suddenly countries in Africa with Muslim rebels would support Israel."
As in... countries who have rebels, who are muslim.
Actually, if you take out the African part... this fits Russia quite well.
The only thing that really hides the hypocrisy is the US backing of Israel.
