Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Saturday night called on the United States to withhold funding to the United Nations, until such time that the global body reverses the resolution condemning Israeli presence in Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem.

In a tweet, Cruz said he had spoken with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Saturday night to assure him of the strong support Israel has in Congress in the wake of President Barack Obama choosing to break with protocol and abstain during the vote at the UN Security Council, thus allowing the resolution to be approved.

“Spoke w/ Israeli PM @netanyahu tonight to wish him Happy Chanukah & assure him of strong support in Congress. No US $ for UN until reversed,” ...

Why just cut funding? We should cut the electrical, gas, and water utilities.

Go for it. Those loyal to foreign powers would do just that.

Israel is a valued and trusted ally of the United States. My allegiance is to the United States, but I respect and support Israel. As of noon on January 20, the United States will resume giving the respect and support it has historically given to Israel and its people.

Senator Cruz! President elect Trump! No money for the UN unless they reverse their evil decree. It is bad enough we give the UN _any_ money; any. No money unless (UN == Islam) reverses, period.

In what way? You are aware of the extensive record Israel has of espionage against the USA.

I do, too. However, I don’t think ANY country deserves foreign aid at this or any time, except in the case of natural disaster.

Agree that we should cut funding to UN, but Cruz is grandstanding here.
Was hoping Schumer would step up, especially now that Hanukkah has started.
Obama is so evil. Doing this at Hanukkah.

Why are you pinging me. I’ve already made it clear that we have nothing further to discuss. Go obsess about Ayn Rand the cracker-jack philosopher, or something.

I commented on the article you posted. You did post the thread article didn't you? Or was that someone else?

You don't have to discuss anything. Who is forcing you?

“called on the United States to withhold funding to the United Nations, until such time..”

How about just cut funding period, Ted?

Who cares about UN resolutions? They are all invalid.

Methinks Ted is spending too much time with Lindsey Graham. Ted is going soft.

I’m instructing you on basic courtesy, since it seems your mother failed to do so. You are wasting my time again, and behaving rudely on top of it. End of discussion.
