Nikki Haley is watching votes and taking names. She must be working for an autocrat.

Every President before him lied about Jerusalem, and only Trump has the courage to take action. Exactly one year ago Obama betrayed Israel by his behind-the-scenes sponsoring a pro-Palestinian bill in the UN. Now the UN betrays the USA.

Six Anti-Israel Outrages Inside the U.N. Resolution Opposing Trump’s Jerusalem Recognition

1 – The resolution wrongly implies that Israel’s ties to Jerusalem come from “the acquisition of territory by force.”

The resolution reaffirms “the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force,” falsely implying that Israel went to war to acquire the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem. The statement also misleadingly implies that Israel’s only connection and claim to those areas come from the “acquisition of territory by force.”

The West Bank contains ancient Jewish cities such as Hebron, Beit El, Shiloh and more. It houses the Tomb of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, Joseph’s Tomb and Rachel’s tomb, some of the holiest sites in Judaism. Eastern Jerusalem includes Judaism’s holiest site – the Temple Mount – as well as the Old City. Jews maintained a historic presence in Jerusalem, including in the eastern sections, until they were forced to leave the Old City en masse in 1948 and eastern Jerusalem fell under illegal Jordanian occupation.

Jordan illegally occupied and annexed eastern Jerusalem from 1948 until Israel recaptured the lands in a defensive war in 1967. Known as the Six Day War, the conflict was launched after Arab countries used the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem to stage attacks against the Jewish state. Israel did not initiate the war. Israel was forced to defend itself in a war waged by Arab nations with the express goal of annihilating the Jewish state. Israel won against all odds.

If Israel acquired those territories by force, as the U.N. resolution wrongly implies, who exactly are the rightful owners of eastern Jerusalem and the West Bank? In 1988, more than 20 years after Jordan lost its illegal control of the territories, the Kingdom of Jordan officially renounced its illegitimate claims to the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem and unilaterally recognized terrorist Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organization as “the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people” seeking to acquire those lands.

In actuality, the Palestinians never had a state in either the West Bank or eastern Jerusalem and they are not legally recognized as the undisputed authorities in those areas.

I'm hearing this kind of stuff from those that want Armageddon. Is that what you are wishing for?

Obviously, Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel appeals to the numerous Christian Zionists like yourself in his domestic political base.

Donald Trump, the personification of the uncaring, uber-rich white guy who talks disparagingly of women and repeatedly picks fights with people of color, and immigrants has signed the Republican Tax Scam that favors corporations and the wealthy and is headed down here to Mar-A-Lago. All is right in the Republican party of rich, old white men who rig the system to help themselves and don’t give a damn about anyone else.

Are you really getting your politics from Charles Barkley?

Obama left the White House a multi-millionaire with hundreds of IOU's falling out of his pockets. Trump is donating his salary to charity.

I'd rather have a successful business man who "buys" the presidency, than a worthless community organizer who "sold" the presidency to foreign interests, like 20% of our Uranium to Russia for a couple hundred million to the Clintons.

Why should we cower to Mooslam bullies?

Is there another country in the world that is not allowed to have foreign embassies in their capital?

Perhaps you would demand that foreign embassies be located in the Land between the Lakes?

It appealed to Clinton, Bush, and Obama too, that is, until they became spineless.

Defying Trump, the U.N. General Assembly voted to condemn Trump's decree on Jerusalem.

They have broken the law. The UN has no legal jurisdiction over the USA, a sovereign nation which gives its President the authority to place embassies abroad.

They have attempted to take away the same right which they demand for themselves.

This vote demonstrates the success of a policy from Saudi Arabia to create an Islamic coalition in the UN. They have actively courted and seduced countries into joining this block of voters in response to financial incentives. It is the largest block of countries to vote together in the UN. Other nations, like the Europeans that depend on imports and trade fear this block more than the US. They also represent major allies of Russia and China. Of course these things are temporary. Since solar has become cheaper this year than fossil fuel and since China and Europe are major producers of solar and wind power it is likely the grip of Aramco will wane like "the dust in the wind".
