Barack Obama has less than a month remaining as president, and the world is taking advantage.
This week the United Nations quickly pushed through a resolution that would declare Israeli settlements illegal. The measure was fast-tracked largely in order to take advantage of the Obama administration’s tepid relationship with Israel — something that will likely change once Donald Trump assumes office in late-January. The resolution passed on a 14-0 vote.
In the end, the United States didn’t even vote on the controversial resolution. Despite having veto power over any U.N. resolution, American U.N. Ambassador Samantha Powers chose to abstain from the vote, allowing the resolution to pass unanimously.
It was perhaps the most cowardly thing the Obama administration could have done. They were too afraid to stand up for Isreal and too afraid to finally admit that they don’t care about the Israeli people.
See how prominent Republicans — including Donald Trump — responded to the vote on the next page:
With all the killing in the middle East, what resolutions has the UN made on Isis.
F**k the UN
I CAN ONLY HOPE SO!!!
Why we funding them and others and taxing us more for the debts? Cut this spending and will save and even the debt much faster.
“Defend”…”Defend”..one little letter makes a hell of a difference…Let’s try DEFUND…
Time to dump the UN. Unuseful group of bureaucrats.
CONGRESS DEFENDS EVIL OBAMA! CONGRESS DEFENDS EVIL UN! CONGRESS IS GOOD FOR NOTHING BUT DEFENDING EVIL!!!! REPLACE EM ALL!!!!!
Who is obummer
This is not the headline I’m referring to. There was another with just a picture of Loretta Lynch. It stated that she, on her own, bypassed the President and Congress telling the UN they had her full support and that we needed their help as our local police had little means of keeping track of incidents here or abroad. She felt we needed a “world police force”. Then this article pops up later with Obama. He is saying one thing and the Attorney General is saying the opposite. It seems the President and AG are not on the same page. Knowing how Obama feels toward Netanyahu I would think they would have the same story. Sorry I did not save the article but reading it once was enough and I do not care to hunt for it.
Trump needs to dump the UN
