UN Ambassador Nikki Haley Rips Security Council’s ‘Breathtaking’ Anti-Israel Bias

United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley issued a scathing criticism of the UN Security Council over their “anti-Israel” bias on Thursday after emerging from her first regular monthly meeting at the international body.

“I have to admit; it was a bit strange,” Haley said of the council’s agenda.

The former South Carolina governor noted that while it is the UN Security Council’s mission to discuss ways to maintain international peace and security, their meeting on the Middle East failed to address some of the region’s most pressing issues — namely, Hezbollah’s illegal buildup of rockets in Lebanon, the money and weapons the Iran regime is supplying to its terrorist entities throughout Latin America and the Middle East, ways to defeat the Islamic State, and how to hold Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad accountable for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his countrymen.

“Instead, the meeting focused on criticizing Israel, the one true democracy in the Middle East,” Haley said. She added that while she is “new” to the United Nations, she is well-seasoned in her understanding of the UN Security Council’s generations-long bias against Israel. “I’m here to say the United States will not turn a blind eye to this anymore,” she said. “I’m here to underscore the ironclad support of the United States for Israel.”

As far as I’m concerned, the central purpose of the UN is to plot Israel’s destruction.

Time to kick ‘em out of the US and withhold our funding.

UnitedNazis need to be shut down, not just lectured to.
or at least expelled from American soil, that building is the biggest hole in our national security (in that it is the excuse for letting in thousands of enemy spies moles and undercover agents from Islamic and other enemy dictatorships

I have to agree. She is turning out to be a good selection by President Donald J Trump.

UN Ambassador Nikki Haley Rips Security Council’s ‘Breathtaking’ Anti-Israel Bias

Should have also mentioned the Security Council's breathtaking obsession with Israel. Who knew when the idea of the UN was first brought up that we'd need an entire organization of world nations devoted solely to criticizing and persecuting a tiny democracy in the Mideast while ignoring all of the brutal, oppressive dictatorships in the world.

Um, she pretty much did.

But of course whatever some on our side do is not good enough for some people...

If I remember correctly she is a Sikh, or was one, and Sikhs don’t exactly care for muzzies.

If she can stand this firm regarding Israel then we ask why she could not do the same when it comes to fallen Confederate soldiers and the flag they carried. She lost a lot of respect when THAT decision was made.

If she did, I wouldn't have needed to mention it. Bias is one thing - but the UNSC devotes most of it's efforts to condemning Israel, and it needs to be called on it. I'm glad Haley is doing a good job so far, but she needs to start calling out the fact that the UNSC is little more than an Israel-bashing society.

But of course whatever some on our side do is not good enough for some people...

Uh huh. When something can be better, I'm going to say so. Even if "some people" then get their panties in a bunch.

That's exactly what she did. She said "...the UN Security Council’s is supposed to discuss ways to maintain international peace and security... but instead their meeting on the Middle East focused on criticizing Israel..." The article has a 4 minute video clip of her press conference but just watch the first 1:20 she says this almost verbatim.

The United Nations ARE the brutal, oppressive dictatorships in the world...

There are many in the western world -not just the islamic world, who wish to finish the work started by Hitler. You have only to listen to Farrakhan’s hate filled anti-Jewish screed a few days ago, the indifference of western governments to attacks on Jews (we hear them now speak only of islamophobia, not anti-semitism), western based mosques preaching hatred to Jews, to see this reality. Had Clinton won, Israel would have lost its last friend. Let’s hope Trump and his people will continue to shed a light on the genocidal plans of western leftists.
