UNITED NATIONS — A majority of the world’s nations delivered a stinging rebuke to the United States on Thursday, denouncing its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and ignoring President Trump’s threats to retaliating by cutting aid to countries voting against it.
In a collective act of defiance toward Washington, the General Assembly voted 128 to 9, with 35 abstentions, to demand that the United States rescind its Dec. 6 declaration on Jerusalem, the contested holy city.

Only 8 nations joined with us to say No.
That says something about the state of the world.
Trump should write every taxpayer a check for all the aid he’s about to revoke from these douches.
PS - Foreign aid is money taken from poor people in rich countries and given to rich people in poor countries.
Make Them Pay. Start with money, but go further with select countries. Cut their military aid, intelligence sharing and really go after some like Turkey.
Move the UN to Sweden, or Germany, or maybe “Palestine.”
That says something about the state of the UN. If they want to be our enemies, I'm okay with that. They should do it without US dollars and without the US in the UN at all. Send them to Moscow, and use the UN building for something productive. As for our tax dollars, let's go into debt by a little less each year.
Whip them through the streets of New York, right into the East River, and let them swim home.
I don't exactly know who that was stinging. The UN has been sucking up to the palestinians for years.
Stinging rebuke?
LOL
Hmm... I felt no sting...
Absolutely no downside to cutting off 100% of the aid to 100% of those countries that voted against us. They can ask forgiveness during Trump’s second term.
You mean the UN that made such places as Algeria and Libya leading members of the UN Civil Rights commission?
You mean the UN that only calls Jews “religious extremists”?
You mean the UN that wants a global ban on guns, a global income tax, and supports global rights to abortion?
I live to be condemned by *THIS* UN.
Which countries voted with the US?
I assume Israel. So that leaves only seven more. (Probably Tonga, Botswanna, and a couple of others.) I think we should recognize their willingness to stand on principle.
‘stinging’ as in collective gas being passed and its putrid stench filling the room? Nothing like Slime hyperbole.
OUCH! This one really hurt. LOLOLOL
God bless Pres. Trump. I have never been happier to be wrong about someone!
“The UN has been sucking up to the palestinians for years.”
Time flies. It has been decades at this point.
Omg what a beautiful line. I love it. Sad but true. Thanks.
YES. We should cut off all aid to those who disagree with us and give more to those who agree.
I’ve thought that Darfur, Sudan, would make a nifty place for all the UNcrats.
