Like the vote on Jewish freedom in Jerusalem, this, too, will show the true face of evil and who stands where.
France refused to support the Iranian people and once again surrendered, as they always do, to the yoke of Islamic terrorism in occupied Iran.
It is contemptuous that Russia accused the US of “misusing UN to meddle in Iranian affairs” when the UN exists only for that very purpose in regards to Israel.
US, Russia gear up for UN showdown over Iran protests
By Adam Shaw, Ben Evansky | Fox News: (thanks to Amil Imani):
The United States and Russia were set to face off Friday at the United Nations Security Council over how the international community should respond to the protests in Iran, after the U.S. called for an emergency session as it ramps up pressure on the hardline regime in Tehran.
The Trump administration has taken a vocal approach to the situation in Iran, where at least 21 people have been killed and over 1,000 arrested as Iranians take to the streets to protest against the regime.
In contrast to the U.S. response to the Iran protests in 2009, where the Obama administration took a relatively hands-off approach, President Trump has promised “great support” for the demonstrators, while the State Department has hinted at sanctions for officials who abuse protesters and said that it will use Facebook and Twitter to communicate directly with activists.
“We must not be silent,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Tuesday. “The people of Iran are crying out for freedom. All freedom-loving people must stand with their cause.”
A Security Council diplomat told Fox News that countries opposed to the discussion could call a vote to stop it from going ahead. Russia has been vocal in its opposition to the session, with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov accusing the U.S. of infringing on Iran’s sovereignty.
“[The U.S.] continues to pursue a policy of open and implicit interference in the internal affairs of other states — doing it unabashedly, openly, under the slogan of caring for democracy and human rights, directly infringing on the sovereignty of other states,” Ryabkov said, according to the Associated Press.
But Haley threw down the gauntlet to countries who would try and oppose the meeting.
“It will be telling if any country tries to deny the Security Council from even having this discussion, just as the Iranian regime tries to deny its own people the ability to have their voices heard,” Haley said Thursday.
Russia and its allies would need nine votes from the Security Council’s 15 members in order to nix the meeting, a feat which would seem unlikely. China, Bolivia and new member Equatorial Guinea are the countries most likely to have an objection, as they claim the protest is an internal matter for Iran and not a matter that involves international peace and security.It is unlikely that a product will come from the meeting even if it goes ahead, with a non-binding press statement the most likely result.
Activists, however, were hoping for a loud condemnation and tough measures from the international community. Maryam Rajavi of the National Council of Resistance of Iran called in a video statement for the Security Council to “stand with the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom, democracy and human rights.”
Calling for the Council to take “punitive measures” against the regime, she noted that “many of the officials responsible for ordering these crimes are the same officials responsible for crimes against humanity, including the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988.”
“The Security Council must hold them accountable and set up a tribunal to prosecute them,” she said.

The international community is just so despicable and has such a broken moral compass.
Here they are…. Learn to speak with a lisp and fit in… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zoomb3qptg
The Chinese are hated because they do well in an oppressing white culture making the baboons screaming discrimination realize welfare does not make you successful, even with your 30 kids
Well, I suppose if the U.S. had murdered 30,000 political activists three decades ago, had arrested 1,000 protesters now to subject them to torture, and had killed a couple dozen who were protesting now, there might be some dissent in the UN … then again, maybe not. The UN is a tool for one world government; it is meant to BE the one world government — i.e., communism. Anything that ‘we the people’ want — freedom — is anathema to the UN.
Give all the U.N. staffers 12 hours to evacuate the building before American demolition companies take it down. Then, as a token of our GREAT appreciation for their service, give every one of them a chunk of the building to take home with them painted like the American flag with the phrase “From America with love.”
Don’t we wish, santashandler … don’t we wish.
Indeed!

The united abominations is a useless organization, it is a study in preconceived islamic conclusions.
What Israel is doing to African refugees is a moral atrocity https://thegrio.com/2018/01/05/israel-african-refugees/
What african muslim colonist refugees are doing to everywhere they go is a moral atrocity.
They have made the decision NOT to take refugees and toss them out. They can go to Sweden or Germany. NOT to the only free country in the middle east. Nothing good comes from importing a breeding welfare culture that makes things explode and women raped. WHY should they give their country away in a Jewish genocide program? https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=XVfLnqRHYb4
It is nice to have consumers, but if they do not earn an income contributing to the economy, it is socialism, when other people’s money runs out, the economy and society fail completely.
Who is Russia to be lecturing others about interference in the internal affairs of foreign sovereign nations?

How would you like to go inseminate yourself? You’re starting to be a nuisance.
If you can use any of my comments, have fun with them. We need more Winston Churchill’s and Oliver Cromwell’s, and none of the insipid socialists that we have today.
The Russian dictatorship supports the Iranian dictatorship, so what’s new? The Useless Nations have been infiltrated by Islamists. Saudi Arabia is a member of the human rights commission.

Nikki Haley is great! She is a Sikh and shouldn’t be compared to Muslims, which is 180 degree difference. Pence/Haley tick for 2024.
Is she really a Sikh?????
Keep her safe that some muslim does not grab her and force her to convert
I thought they voted to kill all the terrorists in Iran.. The Ayatoilets will decide who goes in the latest purge. We should send all the bleeding heart liberals that wanted the muslims. Let them HELP those poor people. For that matter conscript all our muslims in Germany and Sweden to do it. They are very violent so it should work out. Or is it just women they attack>
