Citizens of Israel, I would like to reassure you. The resolution that was adopted yesterday at the United Nations is distorted and shameful but we will overcome it. The resolution determines that the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem is ‘occupied territory’. This is delusional.
The resolution determines that the Western Wall is ‘occupied territory’. This too is delusional. There is nothing more absurd than calling the Western Wall and the Jewish Quarter occupied territory. There is also an attempt here, which will not succeed, to impose permanent settlement terms on Israel. You might recall that the last one who tried to do this was Carter, an extremely hostile president to Israel, and who just recently said that Hamas is not a terrorist organization. Carter passed sweeping decisions against us at the UN of a similar kind, and this was also unsuccessful. We opposed this and nothing happened.
All American presidents since Carter upheld the American commitment not to try to dictate permanent settlement terms to Israel at the Security Council. And yesterday, in complete contradiction of this commitment, including an explicit commitment by President Obama himself in 2011, the Obama administration carried out a shameful anti-Israel ploy at the UN.
I would like to tell you that the resolution that was adopted, not only doesn’t bring peace closer, it drives it further away. It hurts justice; it hurts the truth. Think about this absurdity, half a million human beings are being slaughtered in Syria. Tens of thousands are being butchered in Sudan. The entire Middle East is going up in flames and the Obama administration and the Security Council choose to gang up on the only democracy in the Middle East – the State of Israel. What a disgrace.
My friends, I would like to tell you on the first night of Chanukah that this will not avail them. We reject this resolution outright, just as we rejected the UN resolution that determined that Zionism was racism. It took time but that resolution was rescinded; it will take time but this one will also be rescinded. Now I will tell you how it will be rescinded. It will be rescinded not because of our retreats but because of our steadfastness and that of our allies. I remind you that we withdrew from Gaza, uprooted communities and took people out of their graves. Did this help us at all at the UN? Did this improve our relations at the UN? We were hit with thousands of rockets and at the UN we were hit with the Goldstone report!
So I will tell you what is clear, I know, to the vast majority of Israeli citizens: We learned this lesson, and we will not go there. But I also want to tell you something else: We are not alone. I spoke last night with many American leaders. I was pleased to hear from members of the American Congress, from Democrats and Republicans alike, that they will fight an all-out war against this resolution with all the power at their disposal. I heard the exact same things from our friends in the incoming administration, who said that they will fight an all-out war against this resolution. And I heard this from across the spectrum of American public opinion and American politics – Republicans, Democrats, Jews and non-Jews. As I spoke yesterday with leaders in Congress and the incoming American administration, they told me unequivocally: ‘We are sick of this and it will not continue. We will change this resolution. We will not allow anyone to harm the State of Israel.’ They are declaring their intention to pass legislation to punish countries and bodies that try to harm Israel. They say that this will also include the UN itself. I remind you that the UN receives a quarter, 25%, of its budget from the US alone.
In my most recent speech to the UN, in September, I said that a storm was expected in the UN before it gets better there. We knew that this is possible and we expect that it will come. The resolution that was passed at the UN yesterday is part of the swan song of the old world that is biased against Israel, but, my friends, we are entering a new era. And just as President-elect Trump said yesterday, it will happen much sooner than you think. In the new era there is a much higher price for those who try to harm Israel, and that the price will be exacted not only by the US, but by Israel as well.
Two countries with which we have diplomatic relations cosponsored the resolution against us at the UN; therefore, I ordered yesterday that our ambassadors be recalled from, Senegal and from New Zealand. I have ordered that all Israeli assistance to Senegal be halted, and there’s more to come. Those who work with us will benefit because Israel has much to give to the countries of the world. But those who work against us will lose – because there will be a diplomatic and economic price for their actions against Israel. Additionally, I have instructed the Foreign Ministry to complete, within a month, a reassessment of all of our contacts with the UN, including Israeli financing of UN institutions and the presence of UN representatives in the country. But I am not waiting; already now I have ordered to halt approximately NIS 30 million in financing for five UN institutions, five UN bodies that are especially hostile to Israel. I have already ordered that this be stopped, and there is more to come.
We are on a campaign of improving our relations with the nations of the world. And it will take more time, and I have said this as well, until our improved relations with countries on five continents are also reflected in their decisions in UN institutions. But I would like to tell you something else, and listen closely to what I’m saying. Contrary to what you might expect, it is very likely that last night’s scandalous resolution will accelerate this process, because it is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Last night’s resolution is a call to arms for all of our many friends in the US and elsewhere around the world, friends who are sick of the UN’s hostility toward Israel, and they intend to bring about a fundamental change in the UN. Therefore, this evening I tell you in the language of our sources, the sweet will yet come forth from the bitter and those who come to curse will yet bless.
Here, on the first night of Chanukah, I stand next to the Maccabees of our times, IDF soldiers and wounded IDF heroes. I salute you and I say to you clearly: The light will dispel the darkness. The spirit of the Maccabees will overcome. Happy Chanukah.

S. Carolina 1st state to ban BDS under Gov. Haley’s initiative. Consistently opposed Iran deal. Sometimes Haaretz just states the facts. That’s why Ted sometimes posts their articles on Israpundit. No illusions about their politics. These are uncontested facts that don’t especially support their side. Remember when people objected to Breitbart and Infowars being cited here? The Methodists are major enemies of Israel, big in BDS. Google it yourselves. Remember to always add a search term that will weed out fake news from anti-semites, like Yesha or Judea or Arutz Sheva or something. Use your imagination. Don’t be so lazy if you don’t want to click on the lnks I provide. Here’ s a link to an article about Giuliani that got erased which I printed in fulll before. The NY Times whining about Giuliani booting Arafat from a 50th Anniversary concert for the UN at Lincoln Center. He was the federal prosecutor in the Leon Klinghofer case and he was still really angry. Foxman, schmuck, said no criticism but let a little time go by before forgiving. De Blasio came out in support of the anti-semitic opera at the Met recently, “The Death of Klinghofer.”

I was out there protesting too. A lot of Jews were. If anybody else was, I didn’t see it. Schmucks. Tragically, the guy at the Met who made the decision to show it was also Jewish as were the horse’s orifices at the NYT defending that horrible decision. At least they pulled it from sydndication implicitly acknowledging that it was anti-semitic. Hypocrities.
“Artistic Freedom” my eye. I’d like to see them out there defending an opera version of the satirical Mohammad film or D.W. Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation” being shown at one of the world’s most prestigious opera houses. Disengenous, anti-semitic hypocritters.
Thank you Rudy!

Don’t mind him trashing Methodists who not only support BDS but support Hamas and Hezbollah but I don’t know enough about Haley to offer an opinion except she supported Cruz who supported corker Bill allowing Obama to get his Iran deal without a senate majority. Some say he even helped draft the bill then played to role of being against.
@ bernard ross:
I am wondering if Obama is not playing lets make a deal with Israel as his pawn…. He might want something from Trump like saving Obama care as a trade off for not recognizing a Palis state in the up coming Paris conf where Be Rodes says Bidden will make a major speech issuing the declaration of Palis statehood along with Britain and France????
@ Ted Belman:
Thanks Ted for posting my reply to Sebastien, whose speed reading failed to notice it was from me.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
and then Sebastien just has to trash Methodists on BDS, and then cites Haaretz, which I will not read, so I do not know if Haaretz noted that Gov. Nikki Haley was the first governor to get a state-wide NO BDS law.

The US SD is deeply antisemitic and is pushing hard to try to make things irreversible for Israel!
On the other hand this will be the first pro-IL US president since the birth of IL. So the antisemites are scared-shit and are doing everything to maintain an impossible TSS, a good way to keep the whole ME UN-stable. This must benefit a lot of “Dark Powers” in the Western world (US SD, Foreign Office, Quai D’ Orsay and so on) but not the people of these respective countries. Even the preservation of Islamofascism may benefit these Dark Powers!!! Who knows?
On one side we have the Muslims/Pal who push for a Juderein OSS and on the other side IL that offers a OSS with civilized Muslims allowed to stay. The Dark Forces prefer instability at any cost.
see juden, another backstabber pretender of the lefist muslim dem party… its not just obama… they are all bought and paid for with muslim money.
yamit82 Said:
A real leader would seize all these crises and make them opportunities…. pretext to make paradigm shifts…. big moves which can only be made in reaction to big events.
If they recognized a pal state my reaction would be to state that in order to protect Israels interest in the “disputed” land it will annex it.. area C…. AND declare that it recognizes no pal state and claims also a & b. It should also then decalre oslo and the road map breached and dead and begin the removal of all PA, PLO, their families and the descendants of all the original PLO thousands allowed return ON THE BASIS OF THE OSLO FAILED AGREEMENT. There is no basis for any part of the agreement to remain in place. Israel should seek to return immediatley to the status quo ante before Oslo.
If BB does not annex to protect Israels interest he will be defacto, as he has done so far, admitting that the land belongs to the pals…. AND in such a case we will see clearly that he has always been on the side of giving the land to the pals and that all he has been doing in nuetralizing the normal effect of a right wing gov.
Bear Klein Said:
Looks like neither is America an ally. The Russians do not have a history of pushing their clients and vassals under the bus.
@ Bear Klein:
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Every country acts in their own self interest except one Israel. BB has consistently sold us out to To American and others interests and we are paying the price today…. I must agree with Bernard not once has he retracted his position and desire to achieve a 2 state solution and no matter what the Arabs do he still sticks to his silly mantra that we seek peace and a Palis State living in peace and it’s the other guys who are blocking achieving that peace. He complains about Obam but is he so stupid he didn’t expect this Dec. Move? Now Ben Rodes says Bidden will make a major speech declaring American recognition of a Palis state a week or so before Jan 20th… Probably along with France and Britain at conference in Paris soon to be held. BB has been outsmarted by everyone of our enemies from Iran the Palis the EU and most of all Obama. I agree with HaLevi that BB is the worst PM and leader we have ever had….
If Bibi truly BELIEVES that Judea & Samaria including ALL OF the Old City (not just the Jewish Quarter)is Jewish land… then WHY HASN’T HE EVER SAID SO?
And why hasn’t he adopted the conclusions of the Levy Report and support JEWISH rights to the land not 2 states???
Bibi’s a great speech giver but its all EMPTY WORDS NO ACTION.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Israel and Russia are not enemies correct. Neither are they allies nor will they be.
@ Bear Klein:
No conflict there. Trump is going to work with Russia. Russia and Israel have a free trade agreement thanks to Putin. Their militaries are coordinating via hotline.
Russia had no problem with IDF attack on Hezbollah in Syria. Russia outlawed anti-semitic incitment. As Deputy Mayor of St. Petersburg, he authorized the opening of the Jewish museum and donated a month’s salary. He has visited Israel and bought his old teacher an apartment saying how attached he was to Israel, and there being so many Russian Jews there felt like it was very close to Russia. He is very close to wealthy Russian Jews. Putin calls Bibi up and wishes him happy birthday, Jewish holidays, etc. They obviously like each other.
The anti-Kotel and settlement votes were odd because he has said he wants the third temple built.

@ Sebastien Zorn:
You say Russia is a potential ally to Israel I beg to differ. Russia is supplying Iran weapons including the ability to makes nukes. They are the on the side of our enemies.
Yes Israel can do business with Russia and does. It can come to understandings with Russia.
Russia is not a potential ally in that it would back Israel of its allies Assad and Iran I do not believe so.
Israel needs to sit back take a deep breath and plan a strategy for its security, international business needs, and independence. Managing the conflict has not worked because Bibi concept of outlasting Obama did not work. If no chapter 7 resolution against Israel is passed until the end of Obama’s term then the damage may be limited somewhat in the long run.
Israel now has an opportunity to with the incoming Trump team to forge ahead with the USA as a real partner to establish lots of facts on the ground. Its goal should be annex all land it needs (currently Area C, parts of B needed for security) but not to give up the opportunity to annex Area A in the future. Work to have the USA recognize this annexation, Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights annexation done in I believe 1980.
I believe another goal should be to try and work with the Trump team to try and destroy the UN for once and all. It is the major diplomatic tool used against Israel.
Israel should not working with countries who voted against us because we need to do trade with them. Absolutely we send direct and unequivocal disagreement and displeasure with that. As unseemly as the EU acts towards Israel it still Israels number one trading partner. Israel should not isolate itself in business. That would be playing into our enemies hands.
Israel needs to make a bullet list why the two state solution can not work and explain this to countries who will listen. Israel needs to do this while annexing territory.
But, I do believe that the threat of giving diplomatic support to secessionist forces within these countries unless they reverse this vote — particularly the Cook Islands in New Zealand — I support Crimean self-determination no matter what as a matter of principle — is a very appropriate response. Carrots will work better than sticks with Russia — a “spheres of interest” compromise would be appropriate. Offer to side with Russia against the EU. I don’t see how the EU is particularly an ally. An ally against who or what? Taiwan is China’s weak spot. Trump is taking that on. Probably better for Israel not to antagonize China directly at this point in time. Wait until they are needier and greedier for Israeli tech. know-how.
@ Ted Belman:
True. We don’t want to give them personal reasons to hate us even if I am hating them enough right now to be enjoying these fantasies. This kind of speculation is useful and you are right about China. I’m sure Nikki Haley will be great even if the Methodists have been hostile, as I recall.

@ CuriousAmerican:
Russia is a more complicated case. A potential ally who is playing both sides against the middle. We need to win Russia over and wean her off Iran and playing footsie with the Muslims on votes like this one and the Kotel. If need be, we can exact punishment in some other way. Putin has done a lot to support Israel and the Jewish people and to fight anti-semitism at home. The Ukraine can make no such claim. Just the opposite. Even China is a bit complicated since China is partnering with Israel in the Red-med rail line and a number of other important joint projects are beginning. Despite the vote, the U.S. really has more of an issue with China than Israel does. I just read that a Chinese company just bought the Chicago Stock Exchange. Infowars pointed out — and I verified — that they have been buying a lot of stock in all of the Hollywood Major Movie studios. President-elect Trump has pointed out the theft of intellectual property and manipulating trade through currency devaluation. There is the aggression against allies Japan and Taiwan. Different with Israel. Russia and China are basically friendly to Israel as the EU and Obama’s America are basically hostile. Russia and China are becoming more important markets for Israel than Europe. But, they will go along on these hostile votes in the UN. They aren’t initiating them, but they will go along. Needs to be more investigation, explanation, analysis and speculation on the topic of why they are doing this and why.
There are actions that can be taken from below. And actions that can be taken from above. “As above, so below” (in a somewhat different context*) ha ha.

Aah, I forgot an important point. Don’t know what it’s like where you are, but here, in big public places, finding urine on the seat in men’s rooms is a normal part of life. Happened to me just the other day at the Brookyn Costco. Except in fancy places with presumably perpetually busy janitorial staffs, like expensive hotels, probably the U.N.
I remember joking that uni-sex bathrooms hurts women because the ladies room is always nice and unless someone is constantly cleaning it, the men’s room is usually disgusting. No accident, I’m sure, that in office buildings, the bathrooms in midtown, and a lot of other places, are among the most high security places to get into — you must request the key or the code from the place to which you are an authorized visitor. Welcome to my world.

Thank you Mayor Giuliani. Thank you for making my town safe for the first time in my lifetime. He would have made a kick-ass Secretary of State. I was sorry to see him decline. I’d vote for him for President if he ran again. Sorry, I was a stupid leftist who didn’t vote for him at the time. Israel needs a Mayor Giuliani at the helm. And, you know he threw Arafat out of Lincoln Center, right?
fool. Let me rephrase. I live in New York. Many years ago, a former friend and neighbor a non-Jewish Leftist who didn’t believe me when I said I got mugged about twice a year on the average for most of my adult life, asked me why he never got attacked like that. I gave him all kind of practical reasons why that might be so but one that hadn’t occurred to me (It hadn’t yet been explicitly thrown in my face, though that’s a tale for another day). We’ve never had a crime problem here. It wasn’t crime we Jews experienced from the 60’s to the early 2000’s. It was low grade terror without a label. It drove us out of many a neighborhood that we opened up to populations who came with their own prejudices, against us, as it happens. It was war. War works, terror works. Kahane was right. But we have to be careful. If we do it, it better be legal, or they will nail us to a wall. Or some other convenient object. Though, if we are lucky, they may worship our corpse. It’s unfortunate that George Carlin became a public anti-Israel anti-semite in later life. He was one of my favorite comedians, growing up. One classic line I remember, paraphrasing from memory, “If Jesus were born today, before you know it, we’d all be wearing little electric chairs around our necks.” Funny, how Mark Twain went from anti-semite to philo-semite at the end of his life. I wonder if, when he penned this line — one of my favorites, I seem to keep quoting it, it’s so perpetually apt — it so beautifully expresses “chosenness” from the perspective of the “chosen,” — he had us in mind.
paraphrasing from memory:
“On the prospect of being, tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail: But for the honor of the thing, I’d rather walk.” Mark Twain
Oh, I just remembered related Mark Twain quote – Don’t know where from. I once saw it on the side of a building as I was riding a bus up Madison Avenue. Also paraphrasing from memory:
“There is no one so universally hated, despised and reviled as a good example.” Mark Twain
Not when it involves urine.
Then it is just infantile.
@ bernard ross:
You are quite probably correct. The only question is who is that “”left” wing represented by.
Not a word about the rights of Jews from Netanyahu… everyone trashes the jews and he defends the peace process, not the Jews. Everyone else makes it about settlement and he refuses to say it is the Jews right to settle on every inch of the Jewish homeland, that others can no longer tell jews what the boundaries of the ghetto are. He says nothing… he and others like him have caused this travesty, he is to blame…with rivlin and the others. Perhaps he wants this tough love so he can move to give it away. No Jew can be so incompetent as to forget that it is the jewish right to live in Israel on every inch…. he must have forgot serially intentionally.
But you wanted also to hurt Russia for voting against Israel.
You are not consistent.
Russia is not good, either.
I would not be surprised if the Israeli left colluded with Obama on this move.
first he whines about peace not coming closer… is he begging for sympathy? Peace is irrelevant to the rights of Jews to settle in the homeland. BB makes the jews look like begging whiners, land thieves and other unsavory creatures.
Second,whining about hurting justice and hurting truth… f*ck justice and truth… its about Jews, about their land, their rights … I dont give a crap about justice and truth. Most of the world doesnt either.
third, he whines about slaughtered jew hating muslims in syria and sudan…. why is he whining about them? I dont care about them, and I would not waste my energy on them when there are Jews to talk about…Jews first… Israelis first….duh?
Fourth, he whines about the bullies ganging up on me, on Israel.
One long whine seeking sympathy, empathy, understanding, justice, truth,…. its fatiguing to hear all this irrelevant whining.
Jews jews jews, settlement settlement settlement bldg bldg bldg
while he is assessing the UN personnel he should tell all non essential UN personnel to leave until he finishes his assessment. He should tell all euro orgs and bds orgs to leave until further notice…he should obstruct all UN movements in Israel including a and b. Every UN person remaining should be approved by Israel… it is important to show who owns Israel, who rules Israel.
Evertyhing BB does is all talk with no meat, always.
Who cares about talking to ambassadors after the horse left the barn… NO french person other than a businessman bringing business or a tourist bringing money should be in Israel the french are attacking the jewish nation and bb just whines.
Israel has only been respected when it took direct action on its own behalf without the talk…now there is only talk. People get tired of hearing whining… Israel looks like a whiner… it has lost integrity….. if Israel does not claim jewish rights through action soon the entire future is in danger… the delegitimization of YS is major… there is no justification to keep israel either if that goes. the same power needed to keep Israel can keep YS. Its only about power… “the world loves a strong horse”… whining ninnies are stepped on without sympathy. BB should only be talking and taking action on Jewish and Israeli interests and ignoring the concerns of others as they have ignored Israel.

just posted a long comment, told me to go back then everything disappeared again.
again, “does not bring peace closer” more whining…. whining about dead syrians blah blah blah… I dont give a crap about dead syrians who always marched to kill Jews. Israel should also stop talking about everyone elses issues like peace, etc. BB needs to talk less and do more. He always sounds like he is whining for somthing these days… whining for sympathy rather than taking action which brings respect. I even saw a whiny Israeli spokesperson. Ok, obama is an ahole, a back stabber a piece of shite…. so stop whining and do something.
first, ask all UN personel except bare essentials to leave while you have your assessments. BB needs to replace talk and symbolic actions with actions that hinder those attacking Israel… On obama have mossad dig up dirt on his bath house cocaine days, his BC and feed it to trump… obstruct everyone trying to help the pals.. UN, euros… ban them until you can assess things… assessing is just talk. I dont know if BB whiny talk is real or just a red herring to do nothing.. its almost embarassing. the last people i give a crap about are all the enemies.. syrians, russians euros chinese, starving venezuelans…. bringing up dying syrians is whiny… bring up issues only of importance to the jews…SETTLEMENT BUILDING… dont talk, build, action, all euros out of the west bank. I am so sick of all these bullshiiite whiny speeches… most people dont like whiners.

@ CuriousAmerican:
Trickle-up economics. If the staff are uncomfortable, the ambassadors will be. Another great idea. Try to schedule must-attend conferences for dates that conflict with important personal dates for ambassadors and staff like children’s birthdays, wedding anniversaries, sensitive stuff. Make their lives difficult on every level within legal boundaries. War is total or it is nothing. These bastards better learn to toe the new line or else.

@ CuriousAmerican:
You are mistaken. The Crimean Soviet Republic was created in 1921, then Stalin assigned it to the Ukraine in 1945. In 1990, Crimea chose to federate with Ukraine which later had a Eu/Obama inspired coup installing Neo-Nazis, who unilaterally changed the Constitution stripping Crimeans of rights. Crimea is legally independent and can federate with whoever. see the wikipedia article among others. Before 1990, the Ukraine has never been independent of Russia. Ukrainian separatists have always been mass-murderers of Jews. We should support self-determination for Crimea because it is right and because it hurts the Ukraine. Russia is a potential ally.

Perhaps acting from revenge backfires? Better to focus on pushing votes for UN membership, using Unrecognized Nations and Peoples, UNPO.org. Taiwan and Tibet are both members of UNPO. All pledge non-violence.
I do NOT recommend any focus on Tibet because China will NEVER budge as the Tibetan Plateau is the ultimate watershed for 18 major Asian rivers. Also, China is too important to Israel to antagonize at the UN. I remember when Naftali Bennett returned from a trade delegation to China, and he kept saying ‘They never mentioned settlements!’
Chinese people genuinely respect Jews, even if China votes otherwise at the UNSC.
Few months ago, the Saudis called for self-determination for UNPO member Ahwazi, one of the many UNPO members located inside Iran. Ahwazi are Sunni Arabs. Israel could join the Saudis on the Ahwazi.
Israel already recognizes UNPO member Somaliland. The USA pushing statehood for Somaliland at the UN would expose the hypocrisy of the African Union’s bizarre insistence that nations must retain colonial borders; only South Sudan escaped that trap because the USA pushed the AU.

Also best to look at the members of UNSC as of January 1, 2017. Bolivia, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Sweden, Italy sharing seat with the Netherlands;
will replace Venezuela, Angola, Malaysia, Spain, and New Zealand.
Current non-permanent members Japan, Egypt, Senegal, Ukraine and Uruguay terms extend through 2017.

Also best to look at the members of UNSC as of January 1, 2017. Bolivia, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Sweden, Italy sharing seat with the Netherlands;
will replace Venezuela, Angola, Malaysia, Spain, and New Zealand.
Current non-permanent members Japan, Egypt, Senegal, Ukraine and Uruguay terms extend through 2017.
Anyone want to wonder what the UNSC will be like when it is ‘Nikki’ Nimrata Randhawa Haley, the ‘NO BDS’ Sikh who converted to Methodism in 1997, sitting in Samantha Powers’ chair?
Others may buy the speechster’s mountainous clap trap. I got his number long ago. He makes a superb second hand furniture salesman all right. And that is all…
Netanyahu contorts like a sick juju doll as he again tries to finagle his way through the disaster he himself causes to this day by assaulting and expelling Jews from ALL OF ERETZ ISRAEL, which does not end at the Kotel. Please read the fine print of what the liar says.
With him is working at equal ends the gruesome caterva of self elected trash passing as “judges”.
Netanyahu is the main cause for the actions of our enemies without. He froze our rights, he destroyed Jewish homes, families, farms, synagogues, parts of villages, villages and will destroy Amona and much more.
He is false as a wooden tooth, a betrayer and underhanded mole.
He in person blocked the Judge Levi Report. No one else.
His actions against Eretz Israel go back to even before him joining Sharon in the nefarious “disengagement” which he continues to this day.
I reject him, his associates and his idiotic speeching in lieu of true defense of our National rights.
The worst PM ever to soil that post.

Sebastian: Perhaps acting from revenge backfires? Better to focus on pushing votes for UN membership, using Unrecognized Nations and Peoples, UNPO.org. Taiwan and Tibet are both members of UNPO. All pledge non-violence.
I do NOT recommend any focus on Tibet because China will NEVER budge as the Tibetan Plateau is the ultimate watershed for 18 major Asian rivers. Also, China is too important to Israel to antagonize at the UN. I remember when Naftali Bennett returned from a trade delegation to China, and he kept saying ‘They never mentioned settlements!’
Chinese people genuinely respect Jews, even if China votes otherwise at the UNSC.
Few months ago, the Saudis called for self-determination for UNPO member Ahwazi, one of the many UNPO members located inside Iran. Ahwazi are Sunni Arabs. Israel could join the Saudis on the Ahwazi.
Israel already recognizes UNPO member Somaliland. The USA pushing statehood for Somaliland at the UN would expose the hypocrisy of the African Union’s bizarre insistence that nations must retain colonial borders; only South Sudan escaped that trap because the USA pushed the AU.

Under the circumstances a speech for the moment. The big guns will come out when politicians take up their positions in 2017. Considering the political snakes who went against Israel, most of the ring leaders will be leaving their jobs soon, certainly with shit on their shoes….

Beyond rage what can I do? Donate to Israel. Visit. Israel. Read pro Israel materials. Call my politically handicapped Jewish Dem. Congressmen. Burt Roseman MD
@ Sebastien Zorn:The Ukraine belongs to Russia, and the Ukrainians belong in hell with the Arabs. So we support Crimea and all the other breakaways.
The Ukraine does NOT belong to Russia. Russia seized the Crimea from the Ukraine, so to hurt Russia, you should give it back to the Ukrainians. Since you want to hurt them both you might consider giving it back to the earlier Turkish overlords.

Israel and the United States should back internal forces of division within these countries. Diplomatically, where they happen to be terrorists. For example, diplomatically championing the cause of Basque Separatists in France and Spain. I googled: separatist movements:

Cook Islands
Proposed state: Sovereign Kingdom of the Cook Islands
Initiative by the Cook Islands Ariki which considers both the Cook Islands’ previous status as a British protectorate and its current status as associated state of New Zealand to be illegitimate. Aims to set up the Cook Islands as a sovereign state independent of both the United Kingdom and New Zealand.[14]
China has Tibet and Taiwan as we all know, at a minimum.
The Ukraine and Crimea belong to Russia, and the Ukrainians belong in hell with the Arabs. We can just say so and be done with it.
So we support Crimea and all the other breakaways. Do everything we can to make them pay more for gas now that we know that the coup was engineered by the EU with Obama’s help to screw the Ukraine out the better deal on gas they got from Russia. Exacerbate inner social tensions, economically. Take a page out of the Alinsky/Soros/Obama book.
Leave NATO.
Make those countries wish they had never been born in every way possible.
Flood the security council and every other body with resolutions against the nations who voted for this monstrosity. Veto everything unconditionally. Paralyze the U.N.
President-Elect Trump has already taken a step in the right direction with his phone call with the Taiwanese President.
And dirty tricks would be good too. Inundate them with pizza and Chinese takeout deliveries that nobody ordered. Find a way to screw up their deliveries of paper and toner. Send in temps who steal all their pens and paper clips, misfile everything. Use up all the toilet paper, clog up the toilets. pee on the seats, spill water everywhere. Randomly hide the coffee, milk, tea, sugar, cups, spoons, (only one at a time) sugar substitute [find out if there are any diabetics, that one is priceless.] Make them use up their breaks having to go outside to get refreshments.
The Monty Python sketches from 1968: “How to Irritate People” would be an excellent guide as well where applicable. The principle is the same. Some are on youtube.
The best way to do this and not get caught is to just find out who the temps or revolving employees are who just do these things normally and then find somebody in the chain of command who will systematically send these in. Especially good if they are minorities, because then the operative can get huffy and invoke political correctness when challenged. I remember doing word-processing and filing at a Swiss Bank in the 80s or 90s where people kept walking off with pens. Finally, the management said it would come out of their Christmas bonus budget. Ha Ha. Extra perk there.
Not enough.
KAPO Sissy Feigele Dan Shapiro should be kicked out of the country and told to go home to his boyfriend Obama. He has constantly parroted the Obama line and has always shown a proclivity of putting his increasingly anti-Semitic Democratic Party above any modicum of being a Jew or an American. Bibi would be wise to tell him to go home – and that any discussions with the Nazi administration of Obama will be put off until OUR REAL PRESIDENT takes office and a new ambassador – a REAL JEW AND AMERICAN arrives.
And no forcible evacuation of Amona now and forever. That is more effective than ass wipe sanctions placed on Senegal.
very weak usual no balls chatter. no balls should have removed all illegal occupation by the u.n. close down all their buildings, agencies. just allow them one low level secretary without CD recognition. remove all u.n cars, truck autos from ISRAELS territory. u.n troops on the GOLAN must arrive-depart without touching ISRAEL, no more leave in ISRAEL.
