The United Nations Blocks Reality on Jerusalem

The most moving and eloquent words spoken in the UN General Assembly, the assembly of hypocrisy, incitement, and lies, were articulated by Daniel Moynihan, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, after the UNGA on November 10, 1975 passed the infamous Resolution that declared that "Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination."

Moynihan rose to declare that “this is a lie which the UN has now declared to be truth. A great evil has been loosed on the world. The U.S. did not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act... the abomination of anti-Semitism... has been given the appearance of international sanction."

Forty-two years later another candid U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, has echoed the derogatory tone of his censure and rebuked the UN for another infamous Resolution, asserting, "I am here to emphasize that the U.S. is determined to stand up to the UN's anti-Israel bias.”

On December 21, 2017 at an emergency session the UNGA passed a resolution, by 128 to 9 with 35 abstentions and 21 others who did not vote, implicitly referring to the declaration of President Donald Trump on December 7, 2017 in which he recognized that Jerusalem was the capital of the State of Israel, that the U.S. was planning to relocate the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and that the U.S. would support a two-state solution if agreed to by both sides.

The UNGA disgraced itself once again when its new resolution reaffirmed the thrust of previous resolutions -- nine since November 1967. It affirmed that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered the character, status, or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are "null and void" and must be rescinded.

Trump should threaten to cut 100% of funding to the United Nations unless it moves its headquarters to Jerusalem. That would be an in-your-face statement.

The US needs to reduce UN funding or remove the UN from the US.

“Trump should threaten to cut 100% of funding to the United Nations unless it moves its headquarters to Jerusalem”

I’d love to see that although l don’t know if Israel is big enough to hold all the despots and scum bags that go in and out of the UN buildings.

As a Country on the Security Council with the power to veto, the USA holds an ace....just like all of the other countries on the Security Council.

We cannot leave the world open to control by six nations. We're there as long as it exists....and like it or not...its existence is an important global gathering. Period!
