The United Nations Condemns Israel in Lopsided Resolution

For the umpteenth time, the United Nations General Assembly has voted to condemn Israel for defending itself. By a tally of 120 to 8, the members declared that Israel was guilty of “excessive use of force” against Palestinians who were protesting the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. The resolution also requested recommendations to protect Palestinians. For 10 weeks now, the two sides have clashed at the border, resulting in 120 Palestinian deaths.

Israeli Defense Forces warned protesters not to approach the Israeli-Gaza border on May 14, the day of the embassy opening. They did anyway - some armed - so the IDF troops responded with force. Still, the UN resolution suggests Israel's actions were not justified.

Uh, keep the heat on Nikki Haley. FTUN! Is anyone surprised about this? Probably the assclowns are regretting making Israel a state 70 years ago now. TOO BAD! You did now support the state. Boot their asses out of the US and stop any future contributions. Let our "betters" in the EU make it up.

Cut the US funds for the UN by 25%, with more 25% cuts every time another resolution like this goes through the GA.

That’ll get the attention of the Secretary-General.

Screw the Palestinians and the useless United Nations! Why is the UN still located in the United States? Why are Americans footing the bill for a group that hates us and our country so much? Get the UN out of the US now!

Speaking of which, there are 57 countries in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. That’s the same number as was in Obama’s famous “I’ve now been in fifty seven states” comment. Quite the coincidence, eh?

“Netanyahu should dare the UN to invade Israel.”

If it is an actual document, he should burn it on live TV WITH a couple epithets, and thank Trump, so Big Media’s response will be all about Trump.

An equally great co incidence is the formation of another 30 nations started with the boast of a Arab/ Muslim spring.... yep, jihadi spring forward into Western Europe with the opening of the Benghazi floodgates and other key points.
Ever notice how the refugee crisis was related to the anticipated Hillary Clinton win? It was all dovetailed into a greater plan... of which Obama was the orchestrator by proxy.

Yep, the muslim/marxist coalition was hard at work destroying Christian Western European man and his heritage by taking out the hub, America.
Equally coincidental was the stalinesque weaponization of all intelligence and security to control the opposition and threat to their power structure.

In spite of it all, President Trump upset the apple cart.

Thank God!

“United States, Israel, Australia, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Solomon Islands and Togo.”

Interesting.

Of large nations, only USA and Australia voted correctly.

The UN is worse than worthless. Time for US to withdraw from it, and to eject it from our borders. Deport all of its representatives here, declare them persona non grata, demolish the building and redevelop the site.

UN reaffirms with lopsided vote that it is completely irrelevant. They seem to do this several times a year. I suppose so no one forgets (as if that were possible).

Seems like 4 or 5 of them *used to be* in lobbing range of NK missiles.

US out of the UN. We need the vast sums of money wasted on this nest of vipers to improve our infrastructure and BUILD THE WALL. And kick this vicious bunch of filth out of our midst. Use the building to house seniors.
