There is an old adage that says, if I remember
correctly, “You can judge a man not by his friends, but by the caliber of his
enemies.” And I think much the same can
be said of countries. And why I choose
to mention this is the reaction from many countries regarding President Trump’s
recent decision, and very appropriate one, to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. And it was countries
with appalling human rights records, relishing their moments in the spotlight last
Thursday, who chose to lambast the U.S. for daring to make such a move.
Here are but a few of the countries who were allowed
to take a swing at the U.S. during the debate on the U.N. General Assembly
motion condemning the U.S. move, or who chose to vote against the U.S.:
Venezuela,
whose government this month banned opposition parties from its 2018 elections,
was particularly vocal in its condemnation of the U.S. decision. Despite the
country’s dilapidated socialist economy forcing Venezuelans to scavenge food
from garbage bags, Venezuela’s representative launched into a tirade against
the U.S., declaring itself “alarmed” by Israel’s alleged violations of
international law in Palestinian territories.
Samuel Moncada, Venezuela's deputy foreign minister
until June 2017, said, “Our message to the current admin of U.S. of A is the
following: The world is not for sale. The world is not for sale and your
threats imperil global piece.”
North
Korea, a country
known for starving its people to death, North Korea is also one of the most
brutal dictatorships in the world while also causing international outrage and
instability by aggressively ramping up missile tests as it seeks out a nuclear
weapon. But despite itself being both a human rights pariah and under
ever-tightening sanctions, North Korea also voted Thursday to censure the U.S. Delegate
Ja Song Nam said the U.S. move was deserving of “global condemnation.” He added
that the U.S. and Israel bear “full responsibility” for the consequences of the
decision for its “reckless and high-handed” actions. He also called on Israel
and the U.S. to listen to the international community, something North Korea
has itself failed to do in regards to its weapons programs despite multiple
rounds of international sanctions.
Syria,
a country involved in a years-long civil war, during which Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own civilians. It is also a country
where ISIS took hold and secured their de facto capital in Raqqa. Yet despite
its appalling human rights state and its wartorn conditions, Syria was another
country to line up and take a shot at the U.S. Syrian Deputy Ambassador
Mounzer Mounzer said the move “unmasks their unlimited support for the racist,
colonialist, Zionist entity which undermines the rights of the Palestinian
people.”
Yemen,
a country currently involved in a bloody civil war as Saudi and Iran-backed
militias face-off for control of the country. It has been plagued by
airstrikes, famine, and a severe outbreak of cholera. Former President Ali
Abdullah Saleh was killed this month by Houthi rebels. Yet, the country’s
government found time to sponsor the resolution condemning the U.S. Yemen’s representative condemned Trump’s
decision, declaring it “null and void” and a “blatant violation of the rights
of the Palestinian people.” He also called it a “serious threat” to stability
and peace in the world.
Cuba,
the government of which routinely commits such flagrant abuses of human rights
that its people are often found risking their lives on homemade rafts trying to
cross the waters to the United States of America in search of freedom. The
Castro regime, via Ambassador Anayansi Rodríguez Camejo, condemned the alleged
“serious and flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, of international
law and of the relevant UN resolutions” by the U.S. and Israel.
Iran,
a country that has been working extremely hard in its continuing effort to
destabilize the Middle East in its push for nuclear weapons, support for
Islamic terrorists, and its use of Yemen as a proxy war against Saudi Arabia.
But Ambassador Gholamali Khoshroo tore into the U.S. and Israel. He accused Israel of “criminal” practices,
and accused the U.S. of having “acted against the will of the international community.”
Yet despite the protests of the above countries, as
well as others such as China and the Palestinian leadership, the U.S. remained
defiant. It was our stellar Ambassador
Nikki Haley who said, “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 added, “No vote at the United Nations
will make any difference on that, but this vote will make a difference on how
Americans look at the U.N. and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in
the U.N. and this vote will be remembered.”
I’ve lost count of the number of times I have said
that the U.S. should remove itself from this corrupt organization and remove it
from our soil. It is to our shame that
this country remains a member of this brood of vipers. President Trump should seriously consider taking
such action. Imagine how it would make
the liberal heads catch on fire and how fun that would be to watch. And for as long as I can remember, and
probably for much longer, American Liberals be they in politics, academia, the media
types or Hollyweird, ALWAYS take the side of our enemies.
Because it would seem that Liberals, Commies,
Islamists, and Murdering despots all across the globe are united in three
things. One is their desire for
autocratic power and wealth and a willingness to do absolutely anything to get
that which it is that they seek. Two is their hatred of Israel, perhaps the purest
form of hate imaginable, and yet, three, it is a hate that is dwarfed only by
their hatred of America. These brothers-in-arms
are, quite literally, consumed by their hate, and they are driven by it. And it is their shared goal to being an end
to America,
It is way beyond time for America to take all of our
money out of the U.N. and evict the tenants and take possession of OUR, the
taxpayer, valuable real estate. Then expel all of these "illegal"
immigrants that were occupying said building(s). If America chooses to takes a hard stance and
follow through with the power of withholding billions in aid and defense funds,
for these treasonous countries/hypocrites that voted against the USA/Israel on
this matter, I would bet you they would become a bit more willing to around to
our way of thinking, or simply self-vacate!
Look, when countries like Venezuela and North Korea
start telling us what to do, it’s time to get out of the United Nations. Over the years this organization has increasingly
become little more than a joke. We MUST
cut off 100 percent of the financial aid to any and every country that refuses
to side with us. It’s time to quit being stupid about trying to get other
countries to like us. Who cares what
these deviants say? The United States
has always placed its embassies in the capital cities of each country with
which we have diplomatic missions. Why
stop now?
