The United Nations general assembly has delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump, voting by a huge majority to reject his unilateral recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The vote came after a redoubling of threats by Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, who said that Washington would remember which countries “disrespected” America by voting against it.
Despite the warning, 128 members voted on Thursday in favour of the resolution supporting the long-standing international consensus that the status of Jerusalem – which is claimed as a capital by both Israel and the Palestinians – can only be settled as an agreed final issue in a peace deal.
Although largely symbolic, the vote in emergency session of the world body had been the focus of days of furious diplomacy by both the Trump administration and Israel, including Trump’s threat to cut US funding to countries that did not back the US recognition.

The U.K. has allowed itself to be infiltrated with Jew hating muslims in their parliament, and Theresa May is a fair weather friend, at best, and not much of one, at that. Do you suppose the Japanese have a long memory of their subjugation by us? And though we ultimately, helped them to prosper, I’ve always heard the Asian psyche does not forgive being humiliated.
I’ve always known we’d end up as Israel and us, against the world, and I don’t think we’re quite there, yet, but it’s probably not far off. When we are no longer useful to the world system, we’ll be turned against by them all.
Agreed.
[I don’t think we’re quite there, yet, but it’s probably not far off.]
Yep, no quite yet. But heading that way big time (as you see).
He should retaliate against the UN, first step should be telling them their US headquarters status is void, leave by the end of next year. 70 years of nothing but subsidizing a bunch of low lifes who would be better suited to having the next HQ in Uganda or Yemen. They can raise the level of the economy of either place.
Open a symbolic office in a safe place in Jerusalem to represent your intentions to move all embassy operations to Jerusalem. Now.
Without our funding, The U.N. will not remain as it is today. This is great news, if PDJT takes advantage of it.
I think every one must make their own decision. If you feel comfortable going then by all means go. If there is the slightest doubt perhaps it is your instinct warning you.
I used to go every two years or so, choosing a different starting point, such as Rome or Paris, but always ending in London. I was last there in 2014 and vowed never again and so far I have kept my vow.
The last time made me so sad witnessing the changes and the fading British culture. I was amazed at how many changes could happen in two years, and none of them good.
Best wishes for a safe and wonderful trip should you choose to go.
Another amazing sign of the times we live in.
Those being the “Last Days”.
Read about it.
The world will come against Israel.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Excellent list. We should also add: “ UNfunded” and stop giving them money.
Take all those anti-USA votes, add one dollar and seven cents and you can get a small container of coffee at the local McDonalds.
We have 28 billion in aid scheduled for 2018. That could make a huge lump payment on our debt.
For instance the UN building is suddenly unable to be occupied and will take many years to repair. So perhaps it should be relocated.
And some think, not my idea but I like it, that this AID money staying with us was always on the back burner but now he can claim a reason for keeping it.
“Although largely symbolic”
IOW - no “sting”...
We keep military bases in the EU, and that means we spend plenty of money there, as do the soldiers and their families stationed there. We also share intel with the bastards. Putin just called not long ago thanking President Trump for US help in stopping a terrorist attack in Russia. We also don't have to do that -- odd that none of the leftists in the US media point out, each time they cover the story, that Russia announced it was moving its embassy back in April.
20% across the board reduction in US Aid should send a pretty clear message...

CUT off Foreign Aid to all these countries.
We can use the money here at home for our own uses.
“....Japan up to now has been a solid Trump supporter since he won the election.
I would like to know what the story is before we say FUJ!...”
“.....Japan is the world’s third largest consumer of oil. Its oil industry relies heavily on oil output from members of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries).
“Although Japan has cut its oil dependence by a third since the mid-1970s, oil remains the country’s main source of energy, and Japanese dependence on oil imports is one of the highest among the industrialized nations. This is one reason that the security and stability of its oil supply have always been a priority in the Japanese government’s energy policy....”
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, it’s time to kick the UN out of the USA.
