The context

A “nay” vote establishes opposition to this resolution. It does not, by itself, establish the voter’s reason, private motive, or personal endorsement of every part of the BDS movement.

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: Galil supported the resolution and disagrees with the recorded “nay” votes. The roll call is the fact; any broader interpretation of an individual voter’s position requires separate evidence.
