Why Israel’s massive defeat at the UN isn’t quite as bad as it looks
2017-12-22
[IsraelTimes] Losing 128-9 hurts. But, thanks to Netanyahu's diplomatic outreach and Trump's threats to cut aid to states opposing his Jerusalem move, there's also some good news.

In Israeli diplomacy, everything is relative.

Was the outcome of Thursday’s vote at the United Nations

#16  What “massive defeat”?
It was an opinion vote.


This. And Israel wom’t take any significant hurt from it, either. Her products are too valuable, not to mention her help against Iran.

#13  It's always easier when your enemies make the lists themselves rather than you having to make one.

#6  ^No, but you can cut aid to Turkey and a whole lot of third world gangs masquerading as nations.

#5  Well, Trump (and his chum Jeff Session) seem to be all talk about Hillary, the FBI, etc., etc. So, why won't he be "all talk" about this as well. I guess that means we'll support the U.K., Australia, Germany, etc., less then, huh?

#1  I'm hoping Trump actually cuts funds to the lot of them. Also pulls US Nukes and NATO assigned troops out of Turkey, makes plans to pull them out of SKor and Japan since they dissed us and continues in that path around the globe.
That would do the budget some good and maybe throw the fear of god into some feckless "allies".
