Impose Costs for Being Against Us on Jerusalem

Today, the United Nations will demonstrate the behavior that has long reduced it to a playpen for totalitarians, tyrants and terrorists. The UN General Assembly will vote overwhelmingly to condemn President Trump’s decision to recognize that Israel’s capital is Jerusalem, relocating our embassy there.

As Amb. Nikki Haley declared in vetoing a similar condemnation in the Security Council, this was a sovereign U.S. decision. Its critics nonetheless seek to induce as many nations as possible to demonstrate their solidarity with America’s jihadist enemies – and those of the Jewish State.

President Trump has rightly signaled that there will be costs for choosing to be against us, rather than with us. He should start with the Palestinian Authority, which has over the years, received billions in U.S. taxpayer-underwritten aid. Ditto the UN and especially its corrupt welfare agency that enables the Palestinian victimhood narrative.
