She puts much more effort into defending Israel’s borders than she ever did for America.

[Signalman]

Haley was one of Trump’s best picks.

[ConservaTexan]

Hopefully, she took the USA checkbook with her. Withhold the next USA payment from the UN and they will get the message.

[rktman]

Nah. Withhold all future payments and give them an eviction notice. From what I’ve read, the place need to be torn down anyway for health and safety issues. Like to see it happen before PDJT leaves office in 2025 when Pence takes over.

[Vinnie]

You go girl!

Its difficult to see what gets accomplished by walking out of the room like that, unless the message to the rest of the world is that the United States is relinquishing its role as a responsible broker in the Mideast peace process.

Hardliners like Haley continue to undermine the President's foreign policy.

"If you want to listen to some “Pali” nutter give a speech, go put on an old record of Hitler. Same thing."

And....jimmie carter.

[Feckless]

Should be SOP.

Excellent point.

Are you in the right forum?? Your rhetoric is more reminiscent of “Democratic Underground” than Free Republic.

[roadcat]

Once I explained to my co-workers that Palestinians are actually Jordanians that rose up against their king, and lost, that shut-down the whole conversation. Both of my co-workers are half Jew and didn’t know.

Yup, the Trans-Jordan thing. Your co-workers are half Jew, and you might want to tell them that Jews living in Palestine were the original Palestinians; the label stolen by the Trans-Jordanian arabs in Palestine. Arab Palestinians is a fiction made up. Plus a huge chunk of Jordan was supposed to go to the Jews, so if anyone needs to reclaim their lands it's the Israeli Jews who should storm Jordan and reclaim it. But Israel is humane, unlike the Arab animals who surround them.

Actually my rhetoric is more reminiscent of Donald Trump on the campaign trail in 2016 than it is anything you're likely to read at DU.

Neocons and drama queens suck eggs, and Haley is both.

[logi_cal869]

palestinian = the Jew which lived there for centuries.

palestinian = propaganda term borne of Nasser & the KGB’ actions in regards to the formation of the PLO.

“Palestine Post” was not an Arab publication...

[confederatecarpetbag]

Very appreciative of Ambassador Haley’s tenure. She is unwavering and shows no fear. Not that it matters, but she’s a strong, independent-minded woman - just what feminists are always idealizing.

Not bad coming fomr the misogynist Trump (I’m not includeing the sarcasm tag. If you can’t figure it out, then you have no hope)

[2CAVTrooper]

Oh ok, so standing up FOR the only democracy in the middle east now makes one a neo-con?

Go back to lew rockwell or alex jones.

[mac_truck]

The only country Nikki Haley is supposed to stand up FOR is the United States.

She’s a loose cannon who needs to be fired, and the position she occupies downgraded to report to the Sec. of State.

[2CAVTrooper]

She does stand up for us.

She also stands up for our allies such as Israel, unlike the previous administration.

And BTW, she does report to the SoS.

[mac_truck]

Oh good grief...Nikki Haley does NOT report to the Sec. of State.

UN Ambassador was elevated to a cabinet position some time ago by Obama, another executive decision by the community organizer that deserves reversal.

[2CAVTrooper]

She still reports to the SoS, and it was Eisenhower who elevated the position.
