U.S. Senators Introduce Legislation to Counter UN Actions Against Israel

[Social Media]

 

U.S. Senators Katie Britt of Alabama and Jim Risch of Idaho have introduced the Stand with Israel Act, a bill aimed at countering perceived bias and actions against Israel within the United Nations. The legislation seeks to prohibit U.S. funding for any UN agency that moves to expel, downgrade, suspend, or otherwise limit Israel's participation.  

 

Senator Britt emphasized the importance of standing with Israel, particularly in light of recent events. “The UN should be pressuring Hamas to release every single hostage, not punishing Israel for defending her people and her very existence. There has been a troubling pattern of anti-Israel sentiment across the UN and its affiliated bodies that has undoubtedly undermined their credibility. Not a single dime of taxpayer money should be used to support or fuel antisemitism. It is imperative we use every tool in our toolbox to stand firm with the Jewish people and our great ally, Israel. This includes rooting out and condemning antisemitism in every corner of our own nation,” Britt stated.

 

Senator Risch also expressed strong disapproval of efforts to challenge Israel's status at the UN, describing such attempts as inherently antisemitic. “Any attempt to alter Israel’s status at the UN is clearly antisemitic. If UN member states allow the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization to downgrade Israel’s status at the UN, the United States must stop supporting the UN system, as it would clearly be beyond repair. I am disgusted this outrageous idea has even been discussed, and will do all I can to ensure any changes to Israel’s status will come with consequences,” Risch remarked.  

 

The legislation has garnered widespread support, with Senators Tom Cotton, Chuck Grassley, Bill Cassidy, and others co-sponsoring the measure. In total, 34 Republican senators have signed on, signaling a unified stance against what they perceive as UN actions undermining Israel’s position.  

This Senate initiative parallels bipartisan efforts in the House of Representatives, where Congressman Mike Lawler introduced companion legislation, HR 9374. Together, these bills reflect a commitment by U.S. lawmakers to reinforce their longstanding alliance with Israel and combat perceived antisemitism within international organizations.

The 193 nation members in the UN are free contest and to vote on Israel's behavior, be it antisemitic, ethical or moral.

What is your definition of common sense?

Anyone not giving full support to Israel following the appalling attack on 7 October 2023, by Palestinians on the Israeli people, needs their head examining.

[watchdog2]

the last thing the Jews need is more open-ended support for their genocidal behavior.   the empire continues to enable massive criminal conduct on the part of Jews who increasingly resemble Nazis killers....

People who glorify the horrific attacks of 7th October 2023 need to feel the full weight of the law upon them. 

 

But likewise, those who condone or  enable Israel's relentless slaughter of innocent men, women and children need to also be punished to the fullest extent. But we all know that that wont happen. Israeli soldiers will continue to rape and murder in the thousands and the West will still turn a blind eye.

Are you serious? Are you so ignorant or are you wilfully in denial? 

 

I am not your research service - if you are genuinely unaware of the decades of IDF murder and abuse in general, and if you think that they have been the epitome of restraint and honour over the past year then you are certainly not going to believe me so why bother trying to educate you?

Yes very serious you made claims to documented facts, these ones:

 

Israeli soldiers will continue to rape and murder in the thousands and the West will still turn a blind eye.
