Netanyahu halts Israeli funding of UN bodies in revenge for ‘crazy’ resolution
RT News ^ | 12/24/2016

Posted on 12/24/2016 4:17:16 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Israel has suspended its multimillion dollar contribution to a number of United Nations bodies and is reevaluating its relationship with the organization, after the UN Security Council passed a resolution on Israeli settlement construction.

“I instructed the Foreign Ministry to complete within a month a re-evaluation of all our contacts with the United Nations, including the Israeli funding of UN institutions and the presence of UN representatives in Israel,” Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Saturday while addressing the nation.

“I have already instructed to stop about 30 million shekels ($7.8 million) in funding to five UN institutions, five bodies, that are especially hostile to Israel ... and there is more to come,” he added without offering any further details.

Netanyahu harshly criticized President Barack Obama for his decision on Friday to abstain from vetoing the resolution that declares settlements as having “no legal validity.” The resolution passed 14 to zero, with the United States abstaining.

The resolution demands that Israel “immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the 'occupied' Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem.”

The resolution “doesn’t bring peace closer. It pushes it further away,” Netanyahu said Saturday, calling the document “crazy.”

President Barack Obama’s administration constituted a “shameful ambush” by allowing the resolution's passage, Netanyahu said in his first public comments since Friday’s vote.

“Half a million ... are being slaughtered in Syria, tens of thousands are butchered in Sudan. The Middle East is up in flames, yet the Obama administration and the UN Security Council choose to set upon the only democracy in the Middle East,” Netanyahu told his television audience.

Netanyahu said that by abstaining the US has violated a pledge made by former president Jimmy Carter who promised Tel Aviv that Washington would not dictate peace terms to Israel at the UN Security Council.

“Guess you didn’t notice Putin was standing with the filthy Muzzies on this one at the UN.”

Minus Putin. Add Duterte.

Bibi should unilaterally recognize the PA areas as a sovereign state
including the land route between the two territories. The first time an attack is launched from either area, boom!

In an unexpected twist of events on Friday a new resolution on the same subject authored by New Zealand, Malaysia, Venezuela and Senegal was introduced to the UNSC and passed. Hope Trump stops any foreign aid, and puts a 200% tariff on both imports and exports to these countries. Since people are literally starving in Venezuela, any aid continued there should be clearly labeled "Assistance from the US, despite your country attacking our friends Israel in the UN."

Double Good! The entire U.N. Security Council has become Controlled and the Rest of the entire UN, corrupted by antisemitic Muslims.

One of my wishes for 2017 is that the UN goes down the same drain as last night’s dinner.

Israel should pull out of the UN. The UN is pro Arab and extremely anti-Israel.
To be a member is to imply compliance. They should leave and just tell them to pound their resolutions.
