Envoy Nikki Haley says Washington outraged by publication; Sec-Gen Guterres distances self from it; Israel slams it as ‘despicable’
The United States on Wednesday demanded that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres withdraw a report by a UN body accusing Israel of imposing apartheid on the Palestinians and of racially dominating them.
Guterres distanced himself from the report by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) but US Ambassador Nikki Haley said it should be scrapped altogether.
“The United States is outraged by the report,” said Haley in a statement. “The United Nations secretariat was right to distance itself from this report, but it must go further and withdraw the report altogether.”
Based in Beirut, ESCWA is comprised of 18 Arab countries, according to its website, which lists the state of Palestine as a full member, and works to strengthen cooperation and promote development.
“That such anti-Israel propaganda would come from a body whose membership nearly universally does not recognize Israel is unsurprising,” said Haley.

United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UN-ESCWA) made the report. It was compiled by UN special rapporteur Richard Falk.
God Bless Israel, God Bless the US.
Time for the US to stop funding this kind of crap.
The only good news here is, just like the RATs/Liberals/ Marxists here at home, the UN is digging a great big effing hole of it’s own. All this crap does is strengthen Trump’s resolve to cut their funding. I actually think we should remain in the UN but not fund it. Then we can help to drive it to either being what it was supposed to be or to drive it out of business all together. They will probably think they can wait him out for four years, but not for eight.
Winning. So nice.
Get out on the UN. Get the UN out of the USA!!WE ARE A SOVEREIGN NATION!! God Bless America.
Well, we might just actually agree on something.
Trump has already decided to cut the funding related to AGW lies.
Don’t remember total dollars, but significant.
Yeah, those Palestinians helped the Romans tear down the Temple and the rest of Jerusalem in AD70.
Thanks Fossil.Ill take that. God Bless. I am just very leary of international entanglements. People here die and loose sons,fathers and brothers and we have to print more worthless money so our kids will live in a collapsed economy.
There are going to learn a few things about Trump. He is into action. We are less than 60 days into his administration. Look at what he has already done. Amazing.
Yes, nice indeed.
Don’t underestimate Bibi.

Yes, he will make it VERY PAINFUL for those who stand in his way.

Long past time to kick the United Nazis out of USA!
Why are we still in the UN?
Why is the UN still in the US?
The latest bilge from Israel-hater Richard Falk, a radical nutcase who writes reports for UN bodies.
We need to start a western civilization council of countries, WC3, and leave the UN to the underworld
Bingo! We have a winner. I’m on board.
Totally agree.
