    Some "zionists" (call them an alternative branch if you will) just don't give a flyung fick about how you arrange yourselves as long as you are away.

    I do not enjoy debating simpletons.

    No, I do not know they are racists.
    Israel does not occupy Palestine.

    And of course Trump is handling it like a big baby, whining about other countries taking hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars from us, yet voting against us. It's disturbing that the Man-Child thinks that other countries should go along with whatever he wants based on the flow of money. Does he think this constitutes great negotiation? I'm sure his bestest buddy Putin will assure him that it does :D :(

    I am not sure to be honest, just been researching it. As I understand it if you did not convert to Christ nasty things lay ahead. Bet Margot knows more.

    I dont think so, US is still very strong, at the least after cutting aid it will give chance for new and better deals with same countries even if a diffrent president will make them.

    I wouldnt call them Zionists, they may have an intrest to send Jews away and Israel is away but their end is very diffrent, I would agree that for the Arabs its all the same for now, still wont be right to call them Zionists if you are honest.

    King Koresh (Cyrus the great) was the first Zionist after sending Babylon Jews back to Judea, the Bible even calls it "return to Zion" . still we consider Herzel as the father, he was the first to call for a Zionist congress.

    Maybe he was just looking for an excuse to cut them off, even if you think he wasnt aware that there is no way he would get a favorable vote in the UN -others must have told him ahead of the declaration yet he still went for it for no benefit other than this threat just now, which does fit the America first thing.

    Well, it's been awhile since the three major federal parties have a zionist infection, more than in France and England, but less than in the 'States still. All news about Israel and Palestine are somewhere between the deceased acts and the ads parts of our papers.

    That's why Canada lost its UN seat under Harper. We're quite far from Lester B. Pearson's ideals that once made us a universal arbitrer. And yeah, I am a bit disappointed, still.

    The USA gives aid for a variety of reasons. To further US financial interests, to help countries to want to work with it, strategic geopolitical reasons and yes, sometimes even altruistic reasons.
    We all know that the biggest recipient of aid by far will vote with the US what with that being Israel.
    Now which of the other reason is Trump willing to toss away to support his snit? Most of them are to benefit US physical or financial security and if altruism gets the boot then shame on him he'd be moving into the most unamerican and unchristian direction possible.

    I didn't notice Canada but the UK seemed to do the right thing.

    It was in favour 128
    Against 9
    Abstentions 35.

    Edit numbers corrected.

    The Abstentions are probably the people who were bullied.

    Oh yes and "Afghanistan and Mali withdrew their sponsorship of the resolution, in response to the US threats of retaliation."

    but about 4 more added theirs.

    The UN vote is symbolic but has no legal authority

    Correct, but when all that money, such as providing a quarter of the budget for the UN, is equivalent to throwing it down a hole, it's time to stop providing the money.

    The UNSC, the legal authority, already ruled east Jerusalem isn't part of Israel, as well as the West Bank, Golan and Gaza.. and that the geneva conventions apply. Hence all them settlers are violating international law, article 49 ... same article that covers ethnic cleansing... making them a bunch of war criminals.

    The US is a law unto itself... and that equates into lawlessness.

    Are we, or are we not signatories of the UN charter? Let's not forget, we invade and bomb at will?

    Britain held both Madagascar (1942) and Palestine during WW2.

    Sobo you're believing too much propaganda. The only nation that ever invaded Crimea was Ukraine:

    Something else “our” government and its media whores did not tell us is that under the Crimean Constitution of 1992, Crimea existed as a legal, democratic, secular state. Crimea’s relationship with Ukraine was based on bilateral agreements. In 1995 Ukrainian special ops forces and Ukrainian Army troops invaded Crimea and annexed the territory.

    Here is the report from Arina Tsukanova: http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2017/03/28/so-who-annexed-crimea-peninsular-then.html

    The Autonomous Republic of Crimea was established by the 1991 All-Union Referendum in which 94% of Crimeans voted in favor of re-establishing their status as an autonomous republic. Crimeans repeated the vote in 2014 by an even higher percentage, and this time prevented another Ukrainian invasion by reuniting with Russia.

    Trump is a criminal way before he got elected. He did pay his workers and some of them sued him to get paid. How do you think he got rich? Cheap labor and not paying the wages. Not paying people wages when they have done the job is illegal. I think Trump is lesser evil compared to Hillary however that doesn't mean I support him.

    The Jews kill Jesus based on lies. If you want to use history that's how far back I can go.

    His kind of "America first" will send us right off a cliff.
