Trump Admin Votes Against UN’s Israel Hatred Agenda

One thing you can say about the Trump administration, they’ve come out hard in favor of our ally Israel over the past four years. And they continue to do that

In Late Trump Salvo, US Rejects UN Budget Over Israel, Iran

President Donald Trump’s outgoing administration on Thursday fired a late salvo against the United Nations by voting against its budget, citing disagreements on Israel and Iran, but it found virtually no international support.

Only Israel voted with the United States, with 167 nations in favor, as the General Assembly closed the year by approving the $3.231 billion U.N. budget for 2021.

Kelly Craft, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, voiced objections that the budget would fund a 20th anniversary event for the 2001 U.N. conference on racism in Durban, South Africa, where the United States walked out in solidarity with Israel over what it said was a fixation by Muslim-majority countries against the Jewish state.

The United States, the biggest funder of the U.N., “called for this vote to make clear that we stand by our principles, stand up for what is right and never accept consensus for consensus’s sake,” Craft said on the General Assembly floor.

“Twenty years on, there remains nothing about the Durban Declaration to celebrate or to endorse. It is poisoned by anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias,” she said.

Israel’s ambassador to the U.N., Gilad Erdan, said that the Durban conference “will become another meeting demonizing the Jewish state — it will be used once again to slander us and to launch false accusations of racism against Jewish self-determination.”

The United Nations has long been an anti-Israel and anti-Jew organization, and that won’t change anytime soon. But, Trump’s moves with establishing peace between Israel and multiple Muslim nations has done a world of good. The question now becomes “what does the China Joe administration do?” Will Joe start catering to Iran like Obama did while blowing off Israel? Will Joe start abusing our relationship with Israel, constantly denigrating them, as his hardcore Progressive base wants to do, because Democrats tend to be anti-Israel, which has morphed into Jew hatred?
