Power was arguing for lawmakers to support a waiver to provisions in U.S. law that prohibit funding for any U.N. agency “which accords the Palestine Liberation Organization the same standing as member states.”

And there are people that actually claim that the Obama administration is in the thrall of the Jooooos?
Bump
This is really baffling dissembling. Doesn’t Samatha Power want double triple quadruple quintuple wins for the Palis?
The EXEMPT US Congress is as useless as “O2” on
a sheet of paper to the drowning person.
If she had any self-respect she would quit rather than defend our clueless foreign policy.
From the bit I have read about her, she is on the mission of her life fueled by recycled refuse from her background. It appears she is quite at home in our current marxist flavored regime.

Dropping US support would NOT make their admission more likely or make it happen, what a liar she is. And if the body admits the jihadists as if they are a nation, then the US already doesn’t have influence.
They are using the UN to by-pass the US, Why should she want them to be able to do this?
