Trump threatens to cut aid to U.N. members over Jerusalem vote

Dec 20, 2017 8:38 pm By Robert Spencer

The outcry over this tonight is predictable and immense. “International bullying,” tweeted Linda Sarsour. Yes, but Trump is the one who is standing up to it. The idea that the U.S. should subsidize its enemies and ideological foes is a hallmark of the failed foreign policy establishment that needs to be thoroughly repudiated.

“Trump threatens to cut aid to U.N. members over Jerusalem vote,” by Roberta Rampton and Michelle Nichols, Reuters, December 20, 2017:

WASHINGTON/UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that vote in favor of a draft United Nations resolution calling for the United States to withdraw its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

“They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we’re watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We’ll save a lot. We don’t care,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

The 193-member U.N. General Assembly will hold a rare emergency special session on Thursday – at the request of Arab and Muslim countries – to vote on a draft resolution, which the United States vetoed on Monday in the 15-member U.N. Security Council.

The remaining 14 Security Council members voted in favor of the Egyptian-drafted resolution, which did not specifically mention the United States or Trump but which expressed “deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem.”

U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in a letter to dozens of U.N. states on Tuesday seen by Reuters, warned that Trump had asked her to “report back on those countries who voted against us.”

She bluntly echoed that call in a Twitter post: “The U.S. will be taking names.”

Several senior diplomats said Haley’s warning was unlikely to change many votes in the General Assembly, where such direct, public threats are rare. Some diplomats brushed off the warning as more likely aimed at impressing U.S. voters.

According to figures from the U.S. government’s aid agency USAID, in 2016 the United States provided some $13 billion in economic and military assistance to countries in sub-Saharan Africa and $1.6 billion to states in East Asia and Oceania….

    I long ago learned from experience, both mine and others, that actions speak louder than threats. Bought friends go away as soon as the money stops. There is no reason to waste time and money on people or countries that must be bought.

          Write to him. Tell him. **Encourage him**. Especially encourage him to follow through: to *move* that Embassy, ASAP. And encourage him to follow through on the matter of cutting ‘aid’: propose that Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, and the ‘palestinian’ arab muslim pseudo-‘state’, should be first on the list to lose their subsidies and favours. And say – “Think of the money we’ll save!”

        That’s exactly how I feel. It doesn’t make sense. Even the money we give to Israel should be reconsidered. I am all for Israel, but why do they need 4.5 billion dollars a year from us? That’s a lotta matzoh balls!

        I’m not even sure about starving people. North Koreans are starving, Venezuelans are starving. It is their own fault. Why should we subsidize these failed Communist systems? We have hungry people wright here in the US. Saw a homeless man yesterday. We need to help our own and let the Pakistanis, etc. fend for themselves and trust Allah to send them food.

        • Karen says

          Dec 21, 2017 at 4:17 pm

          I agree w this. I’m sorry for the starving people in N Korea, but sending money or even food would do no good. Sadly, it’s pointless, and wastes scarce resources to try to help dictatorships. The corruption at the top diverts all the aid.

      “When does Linda Sarsour have time to worry about President Trump since she spends all her time bullying Asmi Fathelbab …….”

      Richard – you are doing Sarsour an injustice here; after all, she found time to set up a charity collecting money on behalf of a Jewish organisation that had been targeted by her co-religionists.

      Maybe one day she’ll also find the time to actually hand it over to them, since last I heard, they still hadn’t seen a penny of it…..

        All Safe out wanted was to APPEAR to be a friend to Jews, which is exactly what happened.

        As you correctly pointed out it was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

        Hats off to Trump for this move.

        Even as a young boy – who knew exactly NOTHING about politics or world affairs – I wondered the following:

        Why does my country give hundreds of millions of dollars to countries that hate us, our way of life and would like nothing more than killing every last American citizen?

    A thoroughly commendable approach by the President. This is all about a change of address for the U.S. Embassy in Israel. No-one is compelled to follow suit but if they play the old rouse of systematically frustrating and embarrassing the U.S. through the U.N. then they should expect to face consequences such as a reduction in foreign aid. Americans should hold their ground, let’s see in a new era and jettison the incoherent diplomacy of recent administrations.

    This is a great idea, that I hope comes to pass. It is sheer vanity to think that we can moderate the behavior of radical brutes through UN payments, voluntarily submitting to blasphemy laws in our free Western societies, allowing Sharia to creep in via courts, laws, and financial institutions, and a host of other activities designed to appear ‘nice’. Accommodating Islam is a losing battle, because, as Robert Spencer would say, there is always more Islam to accommodate.

    The time for open and honest engagement has come. Let’s deal honestly with our friends, and with our enemies. The chance for a positive outcome increases if we stand up for our values and interests, and draw some lines.

    Machiavelli wrote on the question of whether it is better to be loved or to be feared that if a monarch is loved, other monarchs will still act in their own best interests, whether it is damaging to their friend or not; whereas if someone is feared, that itself is the others’ self-interest.

They park where they like, even in the middle of the street and there is no consequence. They take our money and try to destroy us. Not to mention the Real Estate taxes New York would get if that valuable property were developed to commercial or residential use. Kick them out. They are our enemies.

    The U.N. is now a spurious shambles since it has been hijacked by a gaggle of jumped-up nouveau riche nonentities who couldn’t tell the difference between a moral principle and a Wal-Mart advertising slogan, so Mr. Trump is absolutely right in telling them what they can go and do if they think they can dictate US policy and still expect it to be Santa Claus for their convenience. And talking about jumped-up nonentities with a clapped-out moral compass, why are we wasting time on the verbal pollution emanating from that hideous motor-mouth Sarsour, whom Mr.Trump should be charging for oxygen consumption on US territory as a designated walking waste of American space?

      I’ve left messages here and elsewhere for the New York planning people, suggesting that they could use that nice site more profitably. If the U.N. wanted a location that best reflected its current identity, then the wonderful city of Doha (aka Mickey-Mouse-Ville-on-sand + too many mosques) would be ideal, with its pretentious, oil-subsidised 21st.-century Disneyland architecture vainly attempting to conceal a 7th.-century social infrastructure that rightly belongs in a sociology museum. If that lot in their over-baked paradise can (with their characteristic honest integrity – sic) succeed in winning the bid to host the 2022 soccer World Cup (= running an ice-skating championship in a sauna), then they could also justifiably bid to host the permanent headquarters of the civilised world – according to their definition of the term, that is. And then their vast international airport might actually get a bit more business!

      Last year it was a whopping $357 million, and an additional $355,177,827 to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNWRA).

      Not that these Muslims are grateful, of course:

        There is now or there hopefully will soon be in America the “Taylor act” named after Tayler Force, an American who was murdered by a Palistinian in Israel in 2016. This encompasses a reduction of funding for the PA if the PA persists in paying “salaries” and compensation to terrorists and their families. It does so to the tune of # 355 million dollars per year, I read.

    ‘Freedom from War…Total disarmament in a peaceful world…State Dept doc 7727…a 3 stage long range plan to increase the UN military strength til no force (including the US) can prevail against it… Ratified by Congress and presented to the UN in 1962 by JFK…It may be old, but it is still official US policy…
    The US should get out of the UN, and get the UN out of America…

    I agree with pres. Trump 100%. Actually, for a very long time I was calling for cutting off our membership all together to this useless Islamic inflicted body the UN.
    Muslims are invading our country and taking and keep taking from the ‘infidels’ and give nothing in return, but rape, kill and destroy . ironically with our blessings. Simply catastrophic and does not make any sense.

    Not to be pedantic, “mike9a”, but a “light-year” is a measure of distance, not time.

    That said – your point was succinctly made. Yes, it has been far too long since the humble USA turned its collective head, looked at the bullies and pushed back. Hard.

    Okay, you’ve got me. Perhaps that was a bit pedantic.

    Before cutting foreign aid based on UN votes, I urge President Trump to reread former President Obama’s landmark 2009 address in Cairo.

    American foreign aid is essential, Pres. Obama shared, to address the tragic effects of Western “colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations.”

    “As the Holy Koran tells us,” Pres. Obama reminded Americans and Egyptians alike, we should follow this guidance: “Be conscious of God and speak always the truth.”

    “That is what I will try to do,” promised the former President: “to speak the truth as best I can, humbled by the task before us, and firm in my belief that the interests we share as human beings are far more powerful than the forces that drive us apart.”

    President Obama was reminding us that all faith traditions echo the wisdom of Isaiah: “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”

    Foreign aid under the Obama Administration aspired to these values. The FBI too is white as snow. I truly believe that. What’s more, if only Valerie Jarret were representing the United States in the UN today, there would be world consensus and not discord. Therefore, let us treasure Pres. Obama, Sec. Clinton, Robert Mueller and Andy McCabe: they have such beautiful souls in these troubled times.

    Thank goodness for Trump. About time this sort of action was taken. If only the UK had similar leaders instead of the EU’s doormat May and her equally useless predecessor Cameron, who railroaded through a ridiculous law committing the UK to a certain level of overseas aid, regardless seemingly of either it’s necessity or how it gets spent.

    • Carolyne says

      Dec 21, 2017 at 11:09 am

      Or the difficulty with which the UK faces in providing such aid since so much of its GNP goes to the dole for Muslims.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Dec 21, 2017 at 8:07 pm

      Have you heard of the British Pakistani Christian Association? They have actually stepped up and urged the UK Government to *cease* giving ‘aid’ to Islamic Pakistan because of Pakistan’s institutionalised and horrible abuse of non-Muslim indigenous minorities. Their campaign, in this regard, should be joined by all Islamoaware Britons; and not dropped or scaled back. If anything, extended: demand that *all* UK ‘aid’ to any Islamic country – they’re *all* dreadful violators of human rights – should cease. The whole OIC should be as isolated as North Korea.

    If I understand correctly, Mr Trump, you want to buy people’s conscience with your money. Shame on you!

      I fear you do not understand correctly. Mr. Trump wishes to stop buying people with our money. Whether or not we buy their conscience is not even debatable. We do not. Our money gets us nothing beneficial..

      • Frank Anderson says

        Dec 21, 2017 at 8:12 pm

        Carolyne, the money the US pays to ( fill in the blank) does not buy respect or friendship. It buys contempt. Cut the money off.

    The U.S. has been misused and abused for many years by U.N. members. We spend more money than many other countries combined, but get little in return. Except for watching different countries’ spies in New York, we realize almost nothing from it. Let’s take some names and kick some countries’ rears.

    Secret ballot!! No one should ever dare threaten a UN vote with anything, never mind financial support? What kind of hellhole has Trump supporters gotten the world into?

    • Karen says

      Dec 21, 2017 at 6:22 pm

      Motions at the UN are not by secret ballot, and shouldn’t be. UN elections are, and the complaint is that the secrecy leads to ‘clubiness’. Why shouldn’t a nation withhold funds from nations that oppose it routinely? Makes a lot of sense.

      • Karen says

        Dec 22, 2017 at 9:34 am

        And, what’s so sacred about a UN vote anyway? It’s really just an organization of 3rd world dictators trying to use democratic principles against a few real democracies.

  38. Stuart Browning says

    Dec 21, 2017 at 12:09 pm

    About time Australia follows President Trumps lead in the U.N, even better ditch the U.N. altogether.
    All foreign aid must stop to Indonesia who are committing genocide in West Papua and have illegally taken the land from the Melanesian Christian population!

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Dec 21, 2017 at 8:04 pm

      YES. I’m another Aussie. I would like to see us gradually but inexorably disentangling ourselves from our *extremely* unhealthy relationships with 1/ Islamic Indonesia and 2/ despotic China, and re-aligning toward the free and semi-free countries in our neighbourhood – India and Singapore, particularly.

    Many years ago Ben Kinchlow explained it like this:

    It’s like there’s two dogs on the porch. There’s a tiny little chihuahua standing there making all kinds of noise, yipping away as loud as it can, and that’s the UN. And there’s a huge doberman sitting there doing nothing, and that’s America. And everybody knows no matter how much noise the little dog makes, as long as the big dog doesn’t do anything, you can safely go on the porch.

    7 Countries + 35 Abstainers who support Israel / USA
    — we can travel to visit these places, and not the rest of the un-deserving world!!!

    The seven countries that sided with the United States and Israel on a U.N. General Assembly resolution declaring “null and void” President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital are all small and obscure as world players.

    Here’s the list:

    1. Guatemala

    2. Honduras

    3. Marshall Islands

    4. Micronesia

    5. Nauru

    6. Palau

    7. Togo

    If you haven’t heard of most of these nations, it’s because they are tiny islands in the Pacific.

    Four of the countries — Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau — have combined populations less than Boise, Idaho. Nauru, for example, has a population of 10,000.

    Put another way, the combined land mass of all seven countries puts it between that of Illinois and Florida.

    Another 35 nations abstained from the 128-9 vote. Two are the United States closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico. The others are allies across the globe.

    Here’s the list:

    1. Antigua-Barbuda

    2. Argentina

    3. Australia

    4. Bahamas

    5. Benin

    6. Bhutan

    7. Bosnia-Herzegovina

    8. Cameroon

    9. Canada

    10. Colombia

    11. Croatia

    12. Czech Republic

    13. Dominican Republic

    14. Equatorial Guinea

    15. Fiji

    16. Haiti

    17. Hungary

    18. Jamaica

    19. Kiribati

    20. Latvia

    21. Lesotho

    22. Malawi

    23. Mexico

    24. Panama

    25. Paraguay

    26. Philippines

    27. Poland

    28. Romania

    29. Rwanda

    30. Solomon Islands

    31. South Sudan

    32. Trinidad-Tobago

    33. Tuvalu

    34. Uganda

    35. Vanuatu

      Of the countries that had the decency and guts to vote NO: I would just like to mention that Palau is particularly well worth people’s tourist dollar. It has some of the most spectacular scenery and coral reefs in the *world*. World Heritage listed, if I recall correctly. Wonderful place for post-retirement tourist trip, or honeymoon, or just visit. So: reward them by booking your next holiday there!

      Micronesia would also be a place worth visiting – beautiful and off the beaten track.

      Give them some encouragement.

      As far as the abstentions go – I am glad Australia abstained, but deeply ashamed that we didn’t have the guts and the moral clarity to step up and stand beside Israel in the midst of the shrieking mohammedan-led virtual lynch mob.

      Abstentions need to be seen by the counter-jihad as a first step. They indicate a country that should be seen as ‘potentially-educable’. It is instructive that the Czech Republic and Hungary and Poland were among the abstainers; and that *South Sudan* was there as well.

    • Linnte says

      Dec 23, 2017 at 3:10 am

      Thanks for this list of nations. I was wondering who abstained and who stood with us. I don’t understand why Poland, Hungary and Czek Repub didn’t vote WITH us. Do you think it’s maybe because they are in deep doodoo with the EU, and don’t want to make waves?

    From the article “we’ll save a lot”.

    Yes, indeed!

    Imagine if all those millions and millions that are being poured into assorted utterly ungrateful resentful mohammedan maws – notably Islamic Pakistan, and the so-called ‘palestinians’; and here’s a radical idea – cut off *Turkey* AND kick them out of NATO – AND cut off the abominable House of Saud, and the equally-vile Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain, none of which need *any* ‘aid or special deals of any kind’ at all, they’re rolling in petrodollars – stopped.

    The US would be able to clear a LOT of its national debt; and money that wasn’t redirected to clear debt, could be used as ‘seed money’ within the USA, to benefit Americans; and *that* would mean more money to pay for the necessary self-defence against Jihad.
