Trump Admin To U.N. Human Rights Council: End Anti-Israel Bias Or We’re Out

Via Daily Caller:

The U.S. is expected to issue an ultimatum to the United Nations Human Rights Council Tuesday: either remove anti-Israeli bias or America may withdraw.

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley said Saturday that Washington would decide whether to withdraw after a three-week session in Geneva, Switzerland wraps up this month, according to Reuters.

“When the council passes more than 70 resolutions against Israel, a country with a strong human rights record, and just seven resolutions against Iran, a country with an abysmal human rights record, you know something is seriously wrong,” Haley said in a Washington Post op-ed.

U.S. Diplomat Michele Sison spoke out against what the U.S. considers “unfair singling out of Israel” during a closed session of the U.N. Security Council May 24. The U.S. has long been a critic of the council, leading to a three-year boycott from 2006 to 2009 under former President George W. Bush.

The Trump administration took issue with the most recent U.N. report that asserted Israel was endangering the territorial viability of a potential sovereign Palestine by vastly accelerating the pace of housing announcements for Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

The U.S. historically vetoed U.N. Security Council resolutions that condemned Israel for years. That pattern changed in December when former President Barack Obama’s administration allowed a critical resolution to take effect by abstaining rather than vetoing the resolution.

Western nations and allies are responding now that the Trump administration is putting the U.N. on notice. Eight groups, according to Reuters, wrote to Haley in May, saying that withdrawal would actually hurt Israel more than it would help, according to Reuters.

This is what we voted for, to stop the endless bullshit. Put them on notice, End Anti-Israel Bias at midnight tonight, or we will cut off power and water to the UN building. Then these "diplomats" can shit in buckets and attend meetings in the dark. At least then they will feel like they are home. This would not be an issue if the UN "human rights council" did not consist of people who have never been known to give much of a damn about anyone's rights. This President plays hardball while the world plays with themselves. He's using this issue to tell the UN that the game is over. Comply, or withdraw every penny of financial support. Then see how they change their tune. Because just like the Paris climate hoax, the UN could never survive without America's money. Money talks and they know who has it all.
