It seems more of a freedom of speech issue, rather than supporting nazism. Canada and the US have strong free speech laws, by supporting this resolution, the governments could very well be breaking domestic laws.

Again, I have to stress this, being against something does not mean that you support the exact opposite. This type of fallacy fits into both a strawman argument, or a black and white argument.

For those that want to know the basics of fallacies, here is a good cheat sheet...

Thou shalt not commit logical fallacies

Pretty much spot on....

In America, the constitution doesn't give rights to the people, it restrains the government. One of those restraints is infringing on free speech, with very limited exceptions.

You have every right to glorify Nazis in the US. And everyone else has the freedom to call you a racist moron, and ostracize you to the fringes of society.
