(VINnews) — GOP candidate Nikki Haley penned an op-ed in the Jerusalem Post, slamming the UN for its flagrant and incessant antisemitism, often masked as “anti-Zionism”.

As Trump’s former ambassador to the UN, Haley has a unique level of credibility. She said that “anti-Zionism is just a modern name for the ancient evil of antisemitism”. In addition, Haley called out President Biden for not being strong enough in his condemnation of Jew-hatred. She called for the US to “pull the tax status of universities and nonprofits that engage in Jew-hatred”.
She also observed that “last year, the UN General Assembly passed 15 resolutions condemning democratic Israel. It passed 13 resolutions condemning all other countries combined, in a world that includes murderous tyrannies like North Korea, Communist China, and Vladimir Putin’s Russia.”
Here are excerpts from Haley’s scathing op-ed:
“I’ve seen antisemitism. I confronted it every day at the United Nations. And I know that the Jew-haters try to hide it by saying they only hate Israel.
“All it takes is 24 hours at the UN to realize that anti-Zionism is just a modern name for the ancient evil of antisemitism…”
“They think Israel is a pariah, different somehow from every other country. But what, exactly, makes the world’s only Jewish state different? When you put the question like that, it answers itself…”
“…while I covered real threats and crises, other countries singled out Israel for things it doesn’t do. It’s accused of oppressing Palestinians, despite being the only democracy in the Middle East – one that respects the rights of Arabs, Jews, and anyone else who lives within its borders…
“Israel is singled out for things that every country does. Only Israel is denounced for choosing its capital. Only Israel is censured for defending itself from rocket attacks and suicide bombers. Apparently, it would be better if Jews let themselves be killed. The double standard clearly indicates something deeper at work – something far more hateful…”
Haley blasted President Joe Biden, saying: “We don’t need a leader who promises to fight antisemitism while failing to condemn anti-Zionism, like the current president. We shouldn’t have rejoined the UN Human Rights Council and UNESCO or restarted funding for UNRWA, which happened in the past three years. And under no circumstances should we be silent or timid in the face of antisemites in elected office, like Joe Biden has been with his fellow Democrats. Evil is evil, and it must be called out or else it will spread.”
“The Jewish people – and the Jewish state – are at greater risk today than at any point in the past 75 years. They need America to lead the fight against antisemitism, in all its forms. It’s time to make clear in federal law that anti-Zionism is antisemitism, pull the tax status of universities and nonprofits that engage in Jew-hatred, and permanently end all taxpayer support for international bodies that stoke this evil.”
Thank you! Haley has nailed it. The LIE has been exposed. Jewhaters say they hate “Zionism” but they hate ALL Yidden, and attack shuls, Jewish stores, Jewish people in the streets. It drives them nuts to see a strong JEWISH ARMY destroy its enemies!
She is right. Pity not all Jews see it. The Zionists of the past century are not the same as what the world calls a Zionist today. In their eyes, we are all Zionists. There is no diff. Between one Jew and another.
We need to be clear about the definition of anti-Zionism though. Because anti-Zionists say “from the river to the sea” and “Destroy Israel” and then “I was just cwiticizing the Iswaeli govewment.”
Nikki has simply drank too much of the Methodist Kool-Aid concerning Palestine. I liked it better when she worked at AM/PM.
Many Jews here hate Israel.
