Speaking the truth in a forum where it has not been heard for years, and where most of those who hold power are determined to suppress it.
“Haley Defends Israel at U.N.: ‘No Country in This Chamber Would Act With More Restraint,’” by David Rutz, Washington Free Beacon, May 15, 2018:
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley strongly defended Israel Tuesday in the face of international criticism of its response to violent demonstrations at the Gaza border, saying no other country in the chamber would act with more restraint than the Jewish state….
She also noted the report on Hamas falsely claiming to their people that Israeli soldiers were abandoning places along the fence, when in fact they were reinforcing them.
“This is how determined they are to make the lives of the Palestinian people miserable,” she said. “They light Molotov cocktails, attached to kites on fire, and attempt to fly them into Israel to cause as much destruction as possible.”
Make no mistake, she said, “Hamas is pleased with the results from yesterday.”
“I ask my colleagues here in the Security Council, who among us would accept this type of activity on your border?” Haley asked. “No one would. No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has. In fact, the records of several countries here today suggest they would be much less restrained.”
“Those who suggest that the Gaza violence has anything to do with the location of the American embassy are sorely mistaken,” she added. “Rather, the violence comes from those who reject the existence of the state of Israel in any location.”
Haley also said the council should be more focused on the destabilizing behavior of Iran, which launched rockets from Syria at Israel last week.
“In recent days, Hamas terrorists backed by Iran have incited attacks against Israeli security forces and infrastructure,” Haley said. “That is violence that should occupy our attention too. The common thread in all of this is the [destabilizing] conduct of the Iranian regime, a regime that insists on promoting violence throughout the Middle East, while depriving its own people of basic human rights.[“]
Haley said there should be discussions of Iran’s presence in Syria, promotion of violence in Yemen, support for terrorism in Gaza and weapons buildup in Lebanon.
“However, in the minds of some, today’s meeting was not called to discuss any of those examples of violence in the Middle East,” she said. “Today’s meeting was called to discuss the violence that some suggest was connected with yesterday’s opening of the United States embassy in Jerusalem. For some people, the embassy opening is said to be a reason to engage in violence. How is that justified?”…

I applaud. I hope her speech made some reference to the swastikas these Muslims are flying.
Walter Sieruk says
One of the “Palestinian” officials had said that the “two state solution” will not be possible since America’s US embassy has been moved to Jerusalem. Also meaning as long as the US embassy remains in Jerusalem negotiations towards a “two state solution” of out of the question. This is actually just right and fine .This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception , a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.
Even of idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel ,.Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. So those “peace talks” are a hoax. For the “Palestinian”leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. The insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad .Otherwise known as “Islamic Gradualism.” This sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocked attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel . For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]

I share the same views. The web of lies is so vast and there are many fanning the fire of war for financial gains.

If the Palestinians and the Hamas really wanted peace with Israel, they would have had it long time ago. And what I don’t understand is how Hamas encourage the Gazan people to go and fight with israel?

A pleasure to hear one of the Trump administration’s grownups speaking….and on CNN no less!

Nikki Haley’s comment is summed up in this quote from Shakespeare:
“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.”
― William Shakespeare, ‘The Merchant of Venice’

Good One Buraq.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
It is lies by apartheid evil united states Ambassador to UN saying It is palestinians who trigger the violence and that fascist evil zionist state exercises restraint. wicked idiot!!
Geoffrey Britain says
You sir are full of sh*t.
Mark Swan says
Absolutely Geoffrey Britain.
Rod says
“You sir are full of sh*t.”
That’s what never fails to impress me about the warriors of JihadWatch. Intellectual rigour, strict adherence to the facts, exhaustive understanding of the historical context, a willingness to hear and understand other opinions.
Well spoken, Geoffrey, Your analysis is quite comparable with Haley’s, no less convincing, and more concise. You earn a Knights Cross with Oak Leaves for your service to the cause of intolerance and hatred. You are clearly one of the intellectuals of the movement, but you must take care not to offend others by exhibiting your superior mental powers.
David says
Intolerance and hatred? Tell me, Rod, who manifests these qualities more fanatically than Hamas (and its constituents storming the borders of Israel)? Geoffrey Britain (“GB”) can hardly be blamed for giving short shrift to Ibrahim muhammed (sic, “Im”). Im is an intellectually challenged troll given to emotionally charged, name calling outbursts, hysterical to the point of evidencing clinical emotional disturbance.
However, by the very maintenance of his comments here he underscores the difference between the freedom of speech encouraged by sites like JW and anything available from the likes of Hamas. In accordance with the tenets of the KKKoran, Muslims would prescribe death for such blasphemy were GB to post analogous insults of Muslims on a site controlled by them. Not that they would ever be published.
Accordingly, before you summon up more of your puerile sarcasm to mock a response in kind to the hysterics spewed by Im, think about whether a more measured, intellectual response is necessary or appropriate. Do you really think one is?
p.s. Your sarcastic choice of the Knights Cross with Oak leaves is curious. Surely, you know it was awarded to Nazis in WWII for exemplary behavior consistent with the ethics of that regime. Are you a big fan of Hitler?
Mark Swan says
Absolutely David–thank you!
Keys says
Only a fool would eloquently keep explaining things again and again to itace, Rod.
Rod, you obviously have not consistently read the numerous rational replies to itace and unanswered requests for itace to respond.
Finally one sees that respectfully telling him that he is full of shit, Sir, is not the the worst one could say about him.
How about a little humility for many posters here at JW who exemplify “Intellectual rigour, strict adherence to the facts, exhaustive understanding of the historical context, a willingness to hear and understand other opinions”. Hunh ?
Wanna support and tolerate itace ? Take your own advice.
Rod says
Abuse, insults, intolerance, hatred. On and on it goes. Challenge a comment and what do you get? Abuse, insults, intolerance, hatred. As surely as day follows night. And you actually take yourselves so seriously!
Well, carry on. You aren’t taken seriously by anyone else, so you certainly do no harm.
Mark Swan says
Rod, you insult everyone here with your condescension about decorum—graciously lowering yourself to the level of people less important or intelligent, that is mighty
kind of you—thanks.
David says
(Not sure if this thread will be read anymore, but in case it is, especially by one who has contributed, I want to add this. I invite Rod to reply.)
So let me see if I have this right…In a thread reporting the remarks by Haley at the UN, Itace m writes the following words:
It is lies by apartheid evil united states Ambassador to UN saying It is palestinians who
trigger the violence and that fascist evil zionist state exercises restraint. wicked idiot!!
Geoffrey Britain responds to Itace m with a pithy “you’re full of shit.” Those of you who are regular readers know that Itace’s hysterical, name calling rant is typical of the kind of unsupported, unreasoned, rants he has come to contribute lately. He really strikes me as emotionally disturbed.
Then follows Rod who mocks GB for not being sufficient tolerant and kind and/or thoughtful in his response to Itace m. Rod makes no reference to the rant of Itace m, just to the absence of kindness, tolerance and thoughtfulness of GB. Rod furthers demeans all JW readers by sarcastically alleging that GB’s pithy retort is typical of the lack of intelligence demonstrated by JW contributors and further excoriates the JW readers as lacking “a willingness to hear and understand other opinions” as if the rant of Itace was itself an intelligent, well-reasoned opinion worthy of something more than GB’s full of shit abbreviated retort.
Then Keys and I reply to Rod. I think a fair reading of our comments is that we were not abusive, hateful or intolerant to Rod. Yes, we criticized Rod’s remarks and explained why there was no need to reply to Itace any more seriously that GB had done. However, for our replies to Rod, he once again alleges that we and other JW contributors are abusive, hateful, intolerant and insulting…as “surely as day follows night” (sic).
Rod doesn’t really think Itace m’s rant is worthy of a sincere reply. That would be laughable even for someone who misquotes elementary Shakespeare. Further, his accusations about the lack of intelligence, kindness, tolerance and abuse, to the extent he means to characterize Keys and my remarks are unsupportable. His thinking strikes me as convoluted as his recitation of the bard’s famous line.
In short, this Rod fellow doth protest too much, methinks. What I mean by that, Rod, is that I doubt your sincerity or in other words, you are full of shit, so to speak. If you are, in fact, sincere, I have an adage you should consider before insulting the intelligence of JW contributors. It’s not from Shakespeare, but I think it’s apt. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
gravenimage says
Rod considers countering his bs “hatred”, but is fine with the destruction of Israel. Very telling.
Kevo says
All of you are afraid of the truth. Lies and violence seem to suit your evil agendas. Satan has such a stronghold on all of you and Hamas and Hezbollah are his precious seeds

Every thing she said is true prove her wrong
alex smythe says
Ibrahim: if Israel wanted to do so, it could kill every single Palestinian in Gaza and the West Bank right now, but it doesn’t. If the situation were reversed, then most of the Palestinians would kill every Jewish Israeli if they had the opportunity to do so. You call Israel a “fascist evil state,” yet it is the only true democracy in the Middle East (arguably more democratic than Turkey, which has been moving more towards political Islam in recent years), and Israeli Muslims and Christians have more rights and prosperity in general than anywhere else in the Middle East. They are even represented in the Israeli Parliament, and are not forced or even pressured to convert to Judaism, on the whole. Compare that with how Christians and other non-Muslim minorites are often treated in Egypt, Pakistan, Iran and even Turkey.
Rodney Green says
Look at Israels achievements. Look at the achievements of Palestinian people. Look at Israels God. Look at Palestinian god. There is no doubt who the Real God is. When God is with the nation of Israel, who can go against it. Hamas is likely to be a spent force soon. Israel COULD take your land all of it if it wants to. Turn to and serve the Real God. Thee God of Israel. Then you too will prosper.
gravenimage says
What claptrap from Ibrahim itace muhammned.
He *himself* has said that he wants to see the destruction of civilized Israel and personally take part in the genocide of the Jews.
Ric says
Nikki Haley, the American UN Ambassador, does not mince words or attempt to deflect the truth; her words are fact-based, not bowing to the Socialist Progressive worldview of castigating Israel. The UN is a front for the Rogue States, sponsors of terror and themselves evildoers. While the UN continuously lays the blame at the foot of Israel while the true transgressors are the above mentioned. The so-called protesters were cogs within the malevolent machinations of Hamas, armed with weapons and paid to murder and maim Israelis. Supposedly, protesting the moving of US Embassy to Jerusalem. The fact is, the Palestinians, Hamas, and others of this fetid assembly of terrorists affirm, The State of Israel has no right to exist.
Leftists concur with the UN, designating Israel as the villain; deeming the murder of Israelis, the firing of missiles from Gaza or Syria as deserved. Moreover, denying that the so-called protesters were peaceful, yet supplied with weaponry by the terrorist faction, Hamas, and others. Thankfully, President Trump chose a stalwart, hard-nosed woman, Haley, as America’s UN Ambassador; not backing down to the anti-Semitic/Israel lobbyists within this duplicitous organization and others. The cult, some may call the religion of peace, is a Nihilistic Cult, no more no less.
Mark Swan says
Yes Ric, more Hamas cruel theatrical mischief, taking advantage of opportunity to apply it.
The sad part is all the heart strings that will be pulled by the media coverage, showing
the one-sided footage of little children that were brought to the border by these deviants,
that were allowed to be harmed some how in the commotion.
Outrageous behavior.
Mark Swan says
Absolutely Jay Boo.
Matthieu Baudin says
Israel defends it’s borders because no one else will. Nation States need to galvanise and protect their borders and use force if necessary; the alternative action ‘throwing in the towel’ allowing outsiders to just march in and set up shop may appeal to hardened anarchists and other dreamers but the end result would mean much higher levels of violence and instability for communities that had previously taken security and cohesion for granted within an organised state structure.

Lanfranc says
What do you do with invaders that threaten your borders? You shoot them.
Just think how much death, pain and misery would have been averted if the first boat of “refugees” had been met with machinegun fire instead of rescue, thereby discouraging others from following their example.
The islamic claim to Jerusalem is spurious, anyway. Mohammed never set foot there, except in a dream, mounted on a winged donkey.
FYI says
The Israelis are perfectly entitled to protect their God-given homeland.
hamas want “martyrs” for their lost cause, so of course they are happy to sacrifice their own young people.
Do you want to stop the violence?Palestinians should stay away from and stop attacking the Israeli border.
The IDF,has I believe a good system{Tohar ha-neshek}.

God bless Nikki Haley!
Karen says
Nikki Haley is the finest UN Ambassador since John Bolton, and quite fearless. I can easily picture her as Vice President under President Pence, then as President of the United States.
madpatriot says
Ah take it easy there…see over time who she sides with…and what her real agenda is.
If she is true to the UN, she could be a disaster to this nation, given power! Tread VERY
carefully and trust no one until they PROVE what and who they are. For the most part
she seems to be okay…but of late she has said some things that were not of a true patriot.
Karen says
“Tread VERY carefully and trust no one until they PROVE what and who they are.”
Wise advice.
Dennis says
Ambassador Nikki Haley is just plain awesome!
Great speech.
The nations of the world have for too long been hypocrites by not recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s Capitol.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Rodney, your satan god (holy spirit) in yahweh and his wife Ashera hero gods is the real criminal and unjust who inspires fascist evil zionists to spill the bloods of palestinians pursuant to obnoxious talmud.
madpatriot says
No, you are ignorant of true history that are the facts and your made-up ramblings in the quran are the rantings of a mad man, that was a violent soldier who killed his way through the world of the time! No peace or love in him. Sorry for that, as that is all you have known, BUT the Bible and Jesus are the truth and He loves you all and wants you to know Him! That is the answer to all of your problems, on BOTH sides! God, the real one, and the truth of the Word of God; the Bible is to guide you. Muslims have been lied to by satan forever.

Give it a rest, moron. Tell your co-religionists to stop cutting off people’s heads, raping women and children, throwing gay people from rooftops,
flying planes into buildings, driving cars into people, blowing up marathon runners and their children, stoning people for falling in love, cutting out women’s clitorises, flogging women for not wearing the slave-rag, killing people for drinking alcohol, burning churches and temples, etcetera, etcetera, et bloody cetera.

6woods –
itace pretends he has no idea where his co-Mohammadans could get the ideas to do the evil things you listed.
He’s stuck on mithraism and the holy spirit. He’s got nuthin’.

What Ibrahim itace muhammed means is that Israel does not have the right to defend against Jihad.
madpatriot says
Well let’s see now, it has only been over two thousand years-ish that the land was given to the Jewish by the God…SO who is ANYONE to say anything against that? Oh yes, the muslims– who have been jealous that they were of Ishmael, the illegitimate son of Abraham and thus NOT favored of God- as Isaac was. All they were told was they would be a large nation and they are. The feud has never been and never will be over until the Lord returns and puts those muslims of satan, in hell where they belong. They do NOT GET IT that they HAVE NO PLACE THERE, no matter how many times they invade and push their rubbish. So why the heck do they not just go to the lands they wandered in somewhere else, living and let others do the same? THERE IS PLENTY OF SAND FOR THEM TO MAKE THEIR OWN PLACE. NO TWO WAY SOLUTION IS NEEDED- AS THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO ISRAEL AT ALL. HOW can they be so ignorant? They do nto even know real history or care……
