[ April 16, 2024 ]
Unlike previous Presidents, when President Trump says he will do something, count on it. I am proud of a President who stands up for us and our values. It’s my money, your money that goes to fund these savages who make a mockery of our compassion and humanity. Enough.
Ambassador Nikki Haley talked tough talk during United Nations remarks before a resolution vote that would condemn President Trump’s Jerusalem decision. “We will remember when so many countries come calling on us.”
The U.N. General Assembly voted 128-9 with 35 abstentions in favor of the resolution, a much smaller margin than the Palestinians hoped for, thanks to President Trump. And it’s way more than those nine, because if you look at the chart there are a number of countries that neither voted for, against, or abstained. They chose both do nothing. That is quiet support for us.

Clearly the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a caliphate-inspired Muslim world body that votes as ONE, was a given. There was never any doubt that the 56 Jew-hating Muslim nations (plus the “Palestinian Authority”) would vote against the Jews. The other 71 are vassal states, those already conquered by the jihad force, such as Germany, France, UK, Denmark, Sweden, Norway — terrified of their Muslim populations (the Arab street in Europe.) Of course, the South American countries such as Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil and Chile would vote against the Jews; those countries were havens for Nazi war criminals after the Holocaust. This is not surprising. Much of the world sided with Hitler, too, until he started to lose, that is.
That Hamas, a genocidal terrorist group, is thanking the UN speaks to the evil of that world body. The great irony here is that the U.N. was established in the wake of the Holocaust. The objective was to ensure that it never happen again. The world has changed a great deal from the time of the United Nations’ birth in 1945, and so has the United Nations. Ironically, it seems to exist now only to ensure that it does. Sixty years ago, democracies, both nascent and well-established, comprised the majority of the founding nations of the UN. The members of the General Assembly were strategically aligned primarily along what would become the lines of the Cold War. America was confident that the UN would be an organization which would work in tandem with American national interests in promoting the welfare of humankind and the basic rights of every human spirit.
That did not happen.
Cut them off. The fact is that Europe is on a steep decline. America, in the Trump era, is on the ascent again. This was not a smart move for many of these countries.
The good news is that these cretins have no say over us.
US 'WILL REMEMBER': Ambassador Nikki Haley continued her tough talk during United Nations remarks before a resolution vote that would condemn President Trump's Jerusalem decision. "We will remember when so many countries come calling on us." https://t.co/WG4bX3LNVi pic.twitter.com/9p2G98lHPu

Ambassador Nikki Haley’s speech:
Thank you, Mr. President.
To its shame, the United Nations has long been a hostile place for the state of Israel. Both the current and the previous Secretary-Generals have objected to the UN’s disproportionate focus on Israel. It’s a wrong that undermines the credibility of this institution, and that in turn is harmful for the entire world.
I’ve often wondered why, in the face of such hostility, Israel has chosen to remain a member of this body. And then I remember that Israel has chosen to remain in this institution because it’s important to stand up for yourself. Israel must stand up for its own survival as a nation; but it also stands up for the ideals of freedom and human dignity that the United Nations is supposed to be about.
Standing here today, being forced to defend sovereignty and the integrity of my country – the United States of America – many of the same thoughts have come to mind. The United States is by far the single largest contributor to the United Nations and its agencies. We do this, in part, in order to advance our values and our interests. When that happens, our participation in the UN produces great good for the world. Together we feed, clothe, and educate desperate people. We nurture and sustain fragile peace in conflict areas throughout the world. And we hold outlaw regimes accountable. We do this because it represents who we are. It is our American way.
But we’ll be honest with you. When we make generous contributions to the UN, we also have a legitimate expectation that our good will is recognized and respected. When a nation is singled out for attack in this organization, that nation is disrespected. What’s more, that nation is asked to pay for the “privilege” of being disrespected.
In the case of the United States, we are asked to pay more than anyone else for that dubious privilege. Unlike in some UN member countries, the United States government is answerable to its people. As such, we have an obligation to acknowledge when our political and financial capital is being poorly spent.
We have an obligation to demand more for our investment. And if our investment fails, we have an obligation to spend our resources in more productive ways. Those are the thoughts that come to mind when we consider the resolution before us today.
The arguments about the President’s decision to move the American embassy to Jerusalem have already been made. They are by now well known. The decision was in accordance to U.S. law dating back to 1995, and it’s position has been repeatedly endorsed by the American people ever since. The decision does not prejudge any final status issues, including Jerusalem’s boundaries. The decision does not preclude a two-state solution, if the parties agree to that. The decision does nothing to harm peace efforts. Rather, the President’s decision reflects the will of the American people and our right as a nation to choose the location of our embassy. There is no need to describe it further.
Instead, there is a larger point to make. The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. We will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world’s largest contribution to the United Nations. And we will remember it when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit.
America will put our embassy in Jerusalem. That is what the American people want us to do, and it is the right thing to do. No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that.
But this vote will make a difference on how Americans look at the UN and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the UN. And this vote will be remembered.
Thank you.
128 countries voted in favor of the resolution rejecting President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, 9 voted against, 35 abstained.

ABC News, December 21, 2017:
The Latest on the U.N. vote on Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and related developments (all times local):
2 p.m.
The Islamic militant group Hamas is welcoming a U.N. General Assembly resolution calling the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “null and void.”
In a statement, spokesman Fawzi Barhoum calls the resolution “a step in the right direction” and “a blow to (President Donald) Trump’s announcement.” He says the resolution emphasizes “the Palestinian right to the holy city.”
Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, seeks a state in all of historic Palestine, including what is now Israel. The Western-backed Palestinian Authority, under President Mahmoud Abbas, claims Gaza and the West Bank as part of a future Palestinian state, with east Jerusalem as capital.
Israel views Jerusalem as its undivided capital.
The General Assembly voted 128-9 with 35 abstentions in favor of the non-binding resolution.
———
1:25 p.m.
An aide to the Palestinian president is thanking countries that voted in favor of a U.N. resolution countering the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “despite all the pressure exerted on them.”
Nabil Abu Rdeneh, a senior adviser to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, appeared to be referring to a threat by President Donald Trump to cut off U.S. funding to countries that support the resolution, which called Trump’s Jerusalem recognition “null and void.”
Abu Rdeneh says in a statement Thursday to the official Wafa news agency that the vote reflects the support the Palestinians enjoy in the international community. He says the Palestinians will continue their efforts in international forums to help create a Palestinian state.
The U.N. General Assembly voted 128-9 with 35 abstentions in favor of the resolution, a smaller margin than the Palestinians hoped for, likely reflecting U.S. threats to cut funding for those who voted “yes.”
———
1:15 p.m.
Israel’s prime minister says he completely rejects the “preposterous” U.N. resolution declaring the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital as “null and void.”
Benjamin Netanyahu says in a video posted to Facebook that Jerusalem “always was, always will be” Israel’s capital. He also says he appreciates that “a growing number of countries refuse to participate in this theater of the absurd.”
Netanyahu is thanking President Donald Trump for his “stalwart defense of Israel.”
Trump’s declaration on Dec. 6 departed from decades of U.S. policy, and international consensus, that the fate of Jerusalem should be decided through negotiations.
Jerusalem lies at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel sees the city as its undivided capital. The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem, home to key Muslim, Jewish and Christian holy sites, as their capital.
———
12:35 p.m.
The U.N. General Assembly has voted 128-9 with 35 abstentions to declare President Donald Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “null and void.”
Thursday’s vote, while a victory for the Palestinians, was significantly lower than its supporters had hoped for, with many forecasting at least 150 “yes” votes. It is noteworthy that 21 countries were absent.
In that sense, it was a victory for the United States, with Trump’s threat to cut off U.S. funding to countries that oppose his decision having an impact.
———
11:20 a.m.
U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley is threatening the 193 U.N. member states and the United Nations with funding cuts if the U.N. General Assembly approves a resolution calling President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “null and void.”
Haley tells an emergency meeting of the assembly that “no vote in the United Nations will make any difference” on the U.S. decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem, which will go ahead because “it is the right thing to do.”
She says “the United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very right of exercising our right as a sovereign nation.”
“We will remember it when we are called upon once again to make the world’s largest contribution to the United Nations,” she says. “And we will remember when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit.”
Haley says Thursday’s vote “will make a difference on how Americans look at the U.N. and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the U.N., and this vote will be remembered.”

11 a.m.
Yemen’s U.N. ambassador is introducing the U.N. resolution calling the U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “null and void” and urging all “peace-loving countries” to vote in favor of it.
Ambassador Khaled Hussein Mohamed Alyemany calls President Donald Trump’s action “a blatant violation of the rights of the Palestinian people and the Arab nations, and all Muslims and Christians of the world.”
Alyemany, speaking as chair of the Arab Group at the U.N., is the first speaker at an emergency meeting of the U.N. General Assembly.
He says the U.S. decision “is considered a dangerous violation and breach of international law.”
Alyemany says it threatens peace in the world, undermines any chance for peace in the Mideast “and only serves to fan the fires of violence and extremism.”
———
7:35 a.m.
Turkey’s president has heavily criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for threatening to cut off U.S. funding to countries that oppose his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan says he hopes the United States will be “taught a lesson” during a United Nations vote on the issue.
Speaking at a cultural awards ceremony in Ankara on Thursday, Erdogan accused Trump of seeking countries whose “decisions can be bought with dollars.”
Erdogan says: “Mr Trump, you cannot buy Turkey’s democratic will with your dollars. Our decision is clear.”
He adds: “I call on the whole world: Don’t you dare sell your democratic struggle and your will for petty dollars.”
Erdogan has been among the most vocal critics of Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem.
The resolution being voted on Thursday is co-sponsored by Turkey, chair of the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and Yemen, chair of the Arab Group at the U.N.
———
5:45 a.m.
Israel’s prime minister is blasting the United Nations as a “house of lies” ahead of a vote to reject President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
Acknowledging that the resolution will likely pass by a wide margin, Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel “completely rejects this vote before it is made.”
Trump’s declaration on Dec. 6 departed from decades of U.S. policy, and international consensus, that the fate of Jerusalem should be decided through negotiations. Netanyahu says Jerusalem is Israel’s capital regardless of the outcome of Thursday’s vote.
The Palestinians turned to the General Assembly after the U.S. vetoed a Security Council resolution calling on Trump to rescind his decision.
The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem, home to key Muslim, Jewish and Christian holy sites, as their capital.
———
1 a.m.
President Donald Trump’s threat to cut off U.S. funding to countries that oppose his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital has raised the stakes in Thursday’s U.N. vote and sparked criticism at his tactics, which one Muslim group called bullying or blackmail.
Trump went a step further than U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley who hinted in a tweet and a letter to most of the 193 U.N. member states on Tuesday that the U.S. would retaliate against countries that vote in favor of a General Assembly resolution calling on the president to rescind his decision.
Haley says the president asked her to report back on countries “who voted against us” — and she stressed that the United States “will be taking names.”

Hi, Donna. You cannot really call a foreign sovereign nation a “traitor”. You could call them allies that are NOT allies. Nations, from which the US should ban all entry. You can call them piles of drek. The traitors are those, in the US, that go against the policy of recognizing Jerusalem and our moving our embassy there. Those ARE the traitors. By the way, Fork the UN … move the UN to Saudi Arabia.

No, we do not call nations ‘traitor’
WE CALL THEM CABAL
Here is one of the cabal nations —
MALAYSIA
– “Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that Malaysia is not afraid even if there are countries that decide to take diplomatic actions following the country’s decision to vote against the US on the Jerusalem issue”
Meaning: The deputy prime minister of Malaysia has challenged the USA to take actions on his country
“Asked if the US decision to withhold aid provided to countries who voted against it on the Jerusalem issue will affect Malaysia, Zahid said that Malaysia did not received much aid from the US, in fact, Malaysia is among the countries that provides similar aid to other countries”
Meaning: That fella boasts that Malaysia is wealthy and not needing any help from the United States
Since Malaysia flips its ‘bird’ at the US of A, I demand that we cut off all funding, all FDI and all trade with that cabal nation
The truth is, without our investment, without us buying their products, Malaysia’s economy will crash within 6 months
LET’S TEACH THEM A LESSON
LET’S CRASH MALAYSIA’S ECONOMY !!!!!
The proofs are listed below
If you are interested, read on ..
https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5570.html
Fact :
Malaysia profited from trade with USA to a tune of $24.8 Billion in 2016, and in the first 10 months of 2017, Malaysia again made over $19.8 Billion by trading with us
Fact :
Figure from 2014 indicates that US among top three investors in Malaysia
Fact :
… With regard to position as at end 2014, FDI investment was mainly originated from Singapore, Japan, Netherlands, USA and Norway which amounted to a total of RM257.7 billion or 55.1 per cent of total position in Malaysia …

Hello, spfoam1. Yes, even an acquaintance, not necessarily a friend, that betrays a trust is a traitor, as in “to betray”. However, I was looking at the use as “hanged by the neck until dead” traitor. I stand corrected.

Nickki Haley was brilliant in her comments about the “slap in the face” intended by the resolution. I applaud her statements and I am hoping that our leaders will, in fact, use the power of the purse to “punish” those nations who voted in favor of that resolution. I respectfully believe that even those that abstained should suffer from the consequences of their act. For too long little Israel has been the whipping boy at the U.N., which is now led by the Arab/Islamic world. Notwithstanding that Israel is always one of the first countries to offer assistance and aid to countries around the world who have been dealt a disaster of some sought, the world seems to consistently bad mouth this small country. Notwithstanding that Israel has become a technological and agricultural marvel and has willingly shared its productivity with the rest of the world, they are shunned. Notwithstanding that Israel could help the struggling economies, especially it’s Arab neighbors, they are terror attacked by the same people who might gain so much by trying to cooperate with Israel. The irony is mind boggling. Unfortunately, the Arab mentality is unlikely to ever change. The Arabs will continuously fail to accept the reality that Israel is there to stay, that their claim that Israel is an occupier is bogus and foolish, and that their inability to accept a livable partnership with this little nation is absolutely not in the best interests of the people of the West Bank and Gaza, all of which will have a continuing negative affect on their people, which seems to be a reality that the Arab leadership just cannot comprehend. Though the answer is peace and cooperation between these parties, that will not happen unless the Arab’s see the light. Trump’s move should have been taken as an event that should have moved the Arab world towards an understanding that their best interests would best be served by resolution of this “conflict,” compromise and cooperation to benefit all sides by ending the vitriol that exists and kills off any reasonable possibility of resolution. Clearly, as reflected in this recent U.N. resolution, the Arab world just cannot see that light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for writing this great comment but I must say that my hope is that we just get out of the UN altogether. The US pays 22% of the UN budget and 28% of the “peacekeeping” budget.

Here’s a map I created showing the results of the vote.
Blue countries are those identified at any time within the last 10 years by the US State Department as state sponsors of terrorism. None of these countries recognize Israel.
Purple countries are those that do not recognize Israel, although they are not identified as state sponsors of terrorism.
All blue and purple countries voted for the UNGA resolution.
Red countries do recognize Israel, but voted for the UNGA resolution anyway.
Note that many purple and red countries are heavily dependent upon America for their defense.
Pink countries formally abstained from the vote, or did not attend the vote.
Orange countries voted with America and Israel against the resolution. There are very few of them; many are Pacific island countries.
Yellow countries unequivocally recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. This includes Taiwan, which is not a UN member.

When have they stopped rioting, raping, killing? Maybe my Christmas wish will come true after 40+ years and Trump will get us out of the UN and the UN out of the USA

F the UN.
muslims need zero ‘provocation,’ as we know. That we exist, that Jews exist, Christians exist, IS reason for their perpetual jihad.
May islam somehow, some way, be extinguished in this world. It is the worst of human nature, and that is all it is. We all have dark sides and polarities. And there is a balance is there, or a struggle for that balance. Under islam, there is no struggle for balance. It is the ideology that succumbs to, and embraces, the evil in human nature.
Thank you, President Trump, for honoring your word — again.

Robert, America’s relations with these and other countries span an array of mutual interests. While we should not forget this slap in the face, and it might change our stance toward some nations, international diplomacy is a far more nuanced thing than your simple prescription suggests.

Again, I’ve never in my life understood why the United States always tried to buy friends. One doesn’t buy friendship. It is either there or it isn’t, and from the looks of things…..it ain’t there with most countries, so why “pay” them?

That the OIC and those practically conquered by Islam European countries (plus Russia) will vote as one block of concrete against the US, we know that and we take it for granted. But on what those way too many “middle of the road” countries voting “safely” with abstention are counting for? To please Islamic world? NOTHING WILL PLEASE MOHAMMEDANS! NOTHING: safe conversion, subjugation or death. They might regret that moment of indecision (playing “safe”) some time in near future. And they will deserve fully the outcome.

We need to get out of the UN and cut off ALL funding to them. I really don’t think that most people know how truly evil this group is, but this organization needs to be exposed.

Other revealing references added, this passage of ancient prophecy, can be read to imply a reestablished Jewish Homeland—foretold millennia past. And furthermore, that there would be heated controversy swirling around the natural location of its Capital City—Jerusalem. So it is, a focal-point and battleground of world views.

Unprincipled votes do tell, disgraceful actions have revealed — villainy in the UN “theater of the absurd”.

These idiots need to pick up a Bible. Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. We are a sovereign nation and should be able to put our embassy wherever we want. They don’t tell us what to do. So now what happens?

Out of all the countries in the world, aside from the US and Israel, only seven countries had joined them. Since there were not even 10 righteous countries to be found in the whole of the UN, lets hope the God doesn’t decide to scrap the entire project Earth, but the 9.
Looking at what’s going in Europe, one can not help but note that the Europeans are actually working on their own destruction. It’s an insane behavior, but Europeans are diligently pursuing it.

Time to cut off ALL countries that voted against the U.S..
We are a sovereign country and place our embassy where we please. Israel has the right, also as a sovereign country to have it’s capital finally recognized.
They take our money then stab us in the back!
All these years we didn’t act on the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act, didn’t offer peace. Moving our embassy there and acknowledging Israels capital will have no effect on ANY peace process EXCEPT to show how it is about HATING Israel and Jews there. It has ALWAYS been about hating Jews.

We should remember that they are about 56 countries in the world that are Muslim. That said, we should cut funding to every country that voted against us and is trying to tell us what to do.

Here is a clip from an article in WND.com:
President Trump declared that the U.N. and nations that supported the resolution should expect consequences.
“They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we’re watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We’ll save a lot. We don’t care,” he said Wednesday. “This isn’t like it used to be where they could vote against you and then you pay them hundreds of millions of dollars and nobody knows what they’re doing.
“People are tired of the United States – people that live here that are great citizens that love this country – they’re tired of this country being taken advantage of. And we’re not going to be taken advantage of any longer.”

Typically every year there is a natural disaster that affects some poor miserable country. Invariably it is usually a sh*t hole Muslim dominated country. I’m sure 2018 will be no different. When that happens , let’s keep in mind those countries that voted against the US . When they are crying to the world for help . tell them to get help from their OIC brothers and the other aholes who voted against the US. There are better ways to spend American dollars.

Hopefully Donald Trump will finally take note of the words and attitude of Turkey’s Recep Erdogan and act accordingly. This ugly bag of Islamic filth needs to be brought to heel. The visionless, dishonest and cowardly Theresa May is going to make her country feel the consequences. Most favoured nation status for Britain is evaporating to the detriment of an old ally who today caters to treacherous Muslims who murder and rape in her country while she says that Britain’s Muslims are “law abiding” and “peaceful”. What kind of imbeciles believe her and such lies? As to the rest, who should be surprised. For more than 50 years the U.N. had been declining and now with the dominance of the Muslim bloc of counties it’s a mostly worthless organization that should be skuttled. As to Americans who worry about upsetting the Muslim world, please, go back to sleep, you opinion is not worth a bean.

Well, it’s nice to know who your friends really are. Where are our Allies that rely on us for protection? Where are our Allies that rely on us for money and services after a disaster? Where are our enemies that where able to retain their country after they were defeated by the USA? Is the UN now a Muslim Organization? If so, we need to remove ourselves from the UN because our support is funding our enemy.
