Haley warns against Jerusalem resolution ahead of UN vote
. . . " 'The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly,” Haley told the U.N. General Assembly. "We will remember it when we are called upon to, once again, make the world's largest contribution to the United Nations.”
“ '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,” she continued. “No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that. But this vote will make a difference in how Americans view the U.N.' ” . . .
An Insult the US Won't Forget
"On Monday, the U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution criticizing the United States’ decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The vote was 14 to 1 and stated that the U.S. decision is null and void and must be rescinded, with only the U.S. voting against it. Under pressure by the Palestinians and Arab and Muslim nations, the president of the UN General Assembly has called an emergency session of the General Assembly for Thursday to consider a resolution similar to the one presented to the Security Council for the sole purpose of condemning the U.S. again." . . .
. . . "This is a critical moment for the Trump Administration and an important turning point in American foreign policy. The only explanation to those one-sided anti-American vote and criticism is a lack of fear of those nations and entities from any retaliation from the United States. It seems those nations seem to be more afraid of insulting or humiliating the Muslim, Arab, and the Palestinian crime family than the United States. If these allies are not afraid of the Trump administration why would the dangerous actors in the Middle East such as Iran, its proxies, and other Jihadists be afraid? If tiny, weak nations such as Bolivia, Uruguay, and Ukraine are not deterred by the U.S., why would North Korea be? " . . . (emphasis added by TD)

Haley's Moment ". . . she has at all points sought to distinguish our course under President Trump from the blasted days of Barack Obama when the United States prostrated itself before the murderous regimes that throw their weight around in that desiccated body. Earlier this week she let it be known that the United States would not have abstained from the last-minute resolution by which President Obama stabbed Israel in the front on the matter of Jerusalem. There the contrast was explicit; in her statement today (tweet below) the contrast is implicit.
"This week Ambassador Haley brings Moynihan’s moment to mind. It was November 10, 1975, when the General Assembly passed Resolution 3379, declaring Zionism a form of racism. After the vote, then Ambassador to the UN Moynihan rose to speak, his voice shaking with anger. “The United States rises to declare,” proclaimed Moynihan, “before the General Assembly of the United Nations, and before the world, that it does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act.' " . . .

"Abbas revealed himself as an Arafat in a suit by following his predecessor beliefs in denying any Jewish history in Jerusalem at all and presenting Jerusalem as a Christian/Muslim city whose only connection to Jews is that they are lying about it and defiling it, and “are excellent in faking and counterfeiting history and religion.'”
