On Monday, the U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution criticizing the United States decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The vote was 14 to 1 and stated that the U.S. decision is null and void and must be rescinded, with only the U.S. voting against it. Under pressure by the Palestinians and Arab and Muslim nations, the president of the UN General Assembly has called an emergency session of the General Assembly for Thursday to consider a resolution similar to the one presented to the Security Council for the sole purpose of condemning the U.S. again.
These 14 countries, including supposed American allies that are supported financially by the U.S., did not mind embarrassing, humiliating, and insulting President Trump on the international stage and challenging U.S. sovereignty. The UN Security Council with its 14 members was trying to interfere and dictate to the U.S. what its foreign policy should be while being hosted by the U.S. on American soil and being supported financially by the generosity of the American taxpayers. These nations chose to vote for and appease Mahmoud Abbas, the corrupt Palestinian leader who was the second in command to the notorious terrorist Yasser Arafat, the financier of Palestinian anti-Israel and American terrorist attacks for decades, a Holocaust denier, and an unelected tyrant, over the leader of the free world.
In forcing the U.S. to use its veto, the other countries emboldened Americas enemies and adversaries by highlighting the isolation the U.S. faces on the world stage. All this on the same day Trump presented his administration s national security strategy. As U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said what we witnessed here today in the Security Council is an insult.

I know, we get it torn down and build a Trump apartment complex in its place.
That doesn’t mean we need this nest of vipers here. Or, if here, why New York? Why not Devil’s Elbow TN or Pascagoula AR? Fort Dodge KS? Nome AK? Langdon ND? Sedalia MO?
Yes, but not the building.
You left out 4) Human trafficking (particularly children)
like they didn’t forget the Washington Naval agreementand others before and after that.
“The vote was 14 to 1 and stated that the U.S. decision is null and void and must be rescinded”
Must? You don’t tell the money guy he must do anything. We don’t really care what they think we think. If we do something that has nothing to do with them, that’s our business. We have the privilege of having an opinion. that’s all we did. We didn’t “make” them think or do the same thing. So they are not involved. We got into messes with them because we tried to be complacent. There’s a new sheriff in town and he doesn’t think your opinion is any different than your thoughts of our. You have a right to it. So do we.

Palestinian camels perhaps?
Britain and France seem to forgotten who bailed their sorry asses out twice in the last 100 years. With friends like this....
Maybe we won’t have to hear anymore of this silliness about our special relationship with Britain
Proof reading before hitting “Post” would make reading replies easier. Not a lot to ask. Had to do it in school and at work...
I say dump it all for Japan. Pull out, goodbye.
Yes. Yes. Yes. And it will be against us, make no mistake...when is that today?
Ukraine and Italy spoke. I was amazed at how the man from Italy sounded, so angry-ish and forbidding.
Ukraine guy was just scared of ramifications I think...
Not a single courageous one among them. All lacking testicles imo.
