WASHINGTON – “Never let a crisis go to waste,” President Obama’s first chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel once famously advised Democrats.

Republicans look increasingly determined to now use that advice against Obama.

The president’s refusal to veto a United Nations resolution condemning Israeli settlements, documented in detail by WND on Friday, is now causing such a backlash, the move could stunningly backfire on the outgoing commander in chief.

Following Friday’s vote, there were immediate calls for the U.S. to defund the organization. By Monday, there was a rising tide of calls to use the vote as a reason for the U.S. to leave the U.N. altogether.

I think there are plenty of reasons to defund the UN,(which receives almost as much 'aid', http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/patrick-goodenough/three-billion-and... ) aid to dependent dictators, and all government foreign aid as a whole.(even to those we consider allies)

This Downsize DC campaign deals with the last two:(and indirectly with the first one as well)

Israel is not perfect, far from it, just like the USA. However, Great Britain and the USA were responsible for setting up the whole ME conflict by:
1) breaking promises and agreements made to those who wanted a Jewish state when the land was governed by Great Britain,

2) Setting up double standards for states like Saudi Arabia and Egypt,

3) playing both sides of the fence to keep war dollars flowing, and

4) encouraging one sided 'peace treaties' that simply set things up for more wars.

Speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly, defend the rights of the poor and the needy.~~ Prov.30: 8 & 9

EVERY YEAR WE GIVE ISRAEL 5 BILLION of OUR hard-earned dollars.

BUT OUR DIRTY GOVERNMENT has NO business STEALING our money through taxes and GIVING IT TO ANY other country - especially Israel (a nation created on the basis of a religion and excluding any non-Jew.

This is exactly the OPPOSITE of how the United States was created which protects freedom of religion.

And don't claim Obama is unfriendly to Israel. He has given them even MORE money and weapons during his terms.

So he finally did something right by telling Israel to stop squeezing the Palestinians out of the region with their settlements and expansions.

And remember that in 1948 the Zionists (with the help of the U.S.) forcibly re-located 700,000 Palestinians who LIVED and farmed on the land which WE gave to Israel.

That never seems to get discussed as though it never happened.

First off, it is illegal under the Symington Amendment in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which prevents funding to nations who fail to sign and abide by the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. http://newobserveronline.com/us-aid-israel-illegal/

The funding has shown to have a far greater problem than the tax/debt, the funding has been used by foreign lobbies, mainy AIPAC, to undermine our democratic representation in Congress. If a candidate doesn't give support for Israel, their lobbies will push funding against them, hae their media cohorts promote them as being a (racist) 'anti-Semite', and press their congressional puppets into opposing them and support of an 'approved' candidate.

It has become apparent the lobbies have upped their pressure on Congress and the media during the BO administration, due to polls showing the American majority doesn't support the actions of Israel? Though, publicly BO has caused rifts, mosly overhyped by right wing media, he has been one of the most protective of Israel. Here, is a link, Rockwell, put in his blog https://theintercept.com/2016/12/23/obama-allows-toothless-un-resolution...
If you click on the first hyperlink noted to GW Bush, the NY Times journalist (a self hating Jew?)lays out the numbers of UN resolutions voted or abstained by US Presidential administrations, from LBJ to present. Note, during the so-called, greatest GOP president, Ronald Reagan, the most, 21 resolutions, against Israel were voted for or abstained for passage.

...who don't have to comply with the nuclear disclosure requirements.

Why is this?

It's estimated but not known that Israel has 300 nukes.

And guess who GAVE them the nukes???

That's right - THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER.

Israel is first and foremost an illegitimate state.

They have no right to exist as a nation which excludes non-Jews and persecutes Arabs at every turn.

They are the only nation on earth who takes no refugees - even though their policies cause untold conflicts which cause refugee crisis.
