Less than half voted in favor it seems, that's despite the ~56 Muslim countries automatic vote against Israel. The anti-Israel trend in the UN is decreasing.

How is 87 "less than half" of 164? It's more than half at 53 percent.

Your math is something…
The corpus is 193 members.
87 - 193 = 106
87 of 193 = 45%
106 of 193 = 55%
45% + 55%=100%
“Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations has an equal vote.”
