Republican candidate Ted Cruz has vowed that if indeed he becomes president, he is going after the United Nations.
Why? You may ask.
He has decided that he will veto any resolution by the world body to recognize a Palestinian state.
As far as Ted Cruz is concerned, the Palestinian unity government celebrates murder and arson, and he said as much at AIPAC policy conference in Washington:
“It is the Palestinian authority and the so-called unity government with Hamas that celebrates the murder of women and children and incites and even compensates the terrorist attacks.
“If the Palestinians try to push through a United Nations resolution to unilaterally declare Palestinian statehood, America will veto that resolution… I will fly to New York to personally veto it myself.”
Cruz criticized Donald Trump’s opposition to the U.N.-imposed plan, calling it “neutrality.”
“My leading Republican opponent promised to be neutral. I will not be neutral. America will stand unapologetically with Israel.”
Ted Cruz also stated that if elected, the U.S embassy will make Jerusalem its new home as opposed to the current location of Tel-Aviv.
Bringing the message closer to home, he promised to withhold federal funds from any organization, including schools and universities, that are in support of boycotting Israel’s sovereignty.
