Nikki Haley blocks UN statement on Gaza violence, walks out on Palestinian envoy

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Tuesday blocked a call for an international investigation into Israel's tactics in clashes with Gaza protesters, and blamed Iran and terrorist proxies for causing the violence.

“In recent days, Hamas terrorists, backed by Iran, have incited attacks against Israeli security forces and infrastructure,” Haley told the U.N. Security Council during a Tuesday session. “There is far too little discussion in the Security Council on Iran’s destabilizing presence in Syria, its promotion of violence in Yemen, its support for terrorism in Gaza, and its dangerous and illegal weapons buildup in Lebanon.”

Trump and Israeli officials drew widespread condemnation on Monday, as thousands of Palestinians protested the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. Dozens of Palestinians were killed in the ensuing clashes.

And what makes it worse for the PLO is that it's a woman that turned her back to them and walked out.

Big insult to a Muslim.

Until something as simple as recognizing the right of Israel to exist occurs,  I have limited sympathy for the Palestinian/Arab cause. Not only that, I couldn't listen to much but Michael Medved was pointing out yesterday, how past censuses showed Jews to be the majority over there, from Roman times, Egyptian... and I know they were there in the early 20th century; soccer clubs established in the 1920s and maybe even before have existed there in their Maccabi league.  It's really a bunch of rubbish that we are going through all this and it's too bad, people have to learn the hardway.

Nikki Haley Walks Out of UN As Palestinian Envoy Starts Speaking

U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley made quite the statement on the Middle East at Tuesday's Security Council meeting - and it had nothing to do with her speech. After the ambassador had finished condemning Hamas for the violence on the Gaza-Israel border this week and Palestinian Ambassador Riyad H. Mansour instead began condemning Israeli forces, she got up and left.

Half of Twitter loved her symbolic exit. The other half decried it as shameful and undiplomatic.

Violence erupted in Gaza this week as the new U.S. embassy in Israel opened in Jerusalem. Several top U.S. officials were there for the ceremony, including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. President Trump recorded a video address for the occasion, reiterating the U.S.'s hope for peace in the region. In his own remarks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Trump for his courage and his friendship.

@goodwithagun I check the site out almost daily.  Not so much about the comments, but they manage to find so many interesting news stories.  But they've become a pretty bland bunch lately.

Was this good theater?  Sure.  Will Haley's picture be framed and hung in the Knesset?  Probably.

But I don't know what was accomplished by this dramatic walkout --- unless the purpose was to tell the world the US has relinquished its role as a fair broker in the Mideast peace process.   :shrug:

Maybe it was to tell the world that the U.S. will not be bullied by the usual crap spewed at the United Nations.  Next to getting out of the UN altogether, having Nikki there is the next best thing.

She did that by blocking the UN resolution against Israel and very clearly through her speech.  I don't see what her walking out accomplished.  This tells the world the US won't even listen to the Palestinians ... so we can't be serious about negotiating a fair peace agreement.

Are you serious?  You really believe after all these 'peace processess' over the decades this hurts an agreement?

The only agreement that will bring peace there is the gun to the head that symbolizes strength over just talking.

Kerry and Albright are the perfect pitchmen for talking peace and getting no results.  Haley is the opposite: peace through strength.

Why exactly should we listen to the Palis?  They aren't even a real nationality.  They are Arabs who happened to live in what used to be known as Palestine.

Hell even their most famous leader was from Egypt.  That we should treat them as a "people without a home" is a fairy tale cultivated by the Arab countries in the region and promulgated by a sympathetic Liberal press and political ideology in the West.
