Senator
Ted Cruz (R-Texas) vowed Saturday to not allow the U.S. to give money to the
United Nations until it reversed its Friday decision forcing an end to Israeli
settlements.
Cruz
tweeted: “Spoke w/
Israeli PM @netanyahu tonight to wish him Happy Chanukah & assure him of
strong support in Congress. No US $ for UN until reversed.”
The
U.N. voted 14-0 Friday to stop Israel settlements in areas of the West Bank and
East Jerusalem. President Obama authorized the U.S. to abstain from voting on
the measure, drawing backlash over the decision to break from the longstanding
U.S. policy of shielding Israel from U.N. reproaches.
Sen.
John McCain (R-Ariz.) called the resolution “conceived” and an “outrageous
attack.” Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed anger and
frustration with the vote, saying he was looking forward to working with the
Trump administration to “negate the harmful effects of this absurd resolution.”
The
announcement came at the start of Hanukkah. Netanyahu
says he will not abide by the UN Security Council resolution demanding an end
to the Israeli settlements.

I would
just call this latest screw-up the last straw and withdraw from the UN, move it
to Brussels and deport Soros for treason.
