OPINION:
Rep. Elise Stefanik has vowed in her new role as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to take on the global entity that she describes as a “den of antisemitism” and an “apologist for Iran.” She also said the Oct. 7 terror attack “never would have happened” if Donald Trump, now the president-elect, were in the White House on that fateful day in 2023.
And meanwhile, back at the Biden ranch, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield in New York on Nov. 12 said: “There is no need to mince words here. As we heard from our briefers, the situation in northern Gaza is dire. … An unconscionable number of Palestinian civilians, many women and children, have been killed.”
Any questions?
In just a few short weeks, America will go from a terrorist-emboldening, Hamas-Hezbollah-Houthi apologizing, bowing-to-Iran coddling country, where moral equivalencies are daily drawn between peaceful and peace-loving Israelis and brutal, savage murderers — to one where evil is called out as evil.
“I will stand up for President Trump’s America First, peace through strength policies and bring moral truth and crystal clear moral clarity at the United Nations on Day One,” Stefanik said, during a dinner ceremony at EMET, pro-Israel think tank in Washington, D.C., on Nov 20.
“Ever since and even before the barbaric terrorist attacks [from] Hamas on Oct. 7, the U.N. has continuously betrayed Israel and betrayed America, acting as an apologist for Iran and their terrorist proxies,” she also said at this same dinner.
Quite right.
And not just the United Nations.
Team Biden has constantly spoken out of both sides of its White House mouth when it comes to supporting Israel in Israel’s time of terror-tied need, while speaking softly so as not to offend the terrorists who terrorized Israel. It’s been a frenetic, confusing policy at best. At worst, it’s been downright concessionary to evil.
“Colleagues,” Thomas-Greenfield said in New York on Nov. 12, “UNRWA’s role has been vital at the frontline of [the] humanitarian response [in Gaza].”
This is the same UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) that has supported terrorism against the Jewish people for years.
This is the same UNRWA the United Nations investigated for employing Hamas terrorists, post-Oct. 7 — and finding cause to fire several.
“The UN said,” UN News wrote in August, “that nine staff working for its [Palestinian] refugee agency UNRWA will be sacked because they may have been involved in the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attacks against Israel.”
Yes — that UNRWA — that “vital” UNRWA, as Thomas-Greenfield called it.
“Israeli military operation in Rafah ‘cannot proceed,’ U.S. ambassador to the UN says,” NPR wrote of Thomas-Greenfield in February.
“US ‘closely tracking Israel’s actions’ to improve situation for Palestinians in Gaza,” the Anadolu Agency, a news site in Turkey, wrote earlier this month, of Thomas-Greenfield’s remarks. Tracking Israel? Tracking America’s greatest ally? Not the terrorists?
“On Transgender Day of Remembrance,” Thomas-Greenfield wrote on X this week, “we reaffirm there is no place for hate in America. The Biden-Harris Administration is proud to advocate for the safety of transgender and all LGBTQ+ Americans, including at the UN.”
Tell Hamas.
Tell the radical Muslim terrorists who throw homosexuals off rooftops because of their sexual proclivities.
Just a few more weeks, and sanity will return to America’s government — sanity and common sense. Thomas-Greenfield fought for transgenders. Thomas-Greenfield fought for Hamas supporters. Thomas-Greenfield fought against American and Israeli interests.
Stefanik will fight for the human rights of all — for civil society for all — for equality and justice and peace for all — on behalf of American allies, not enemies — and all without elevating terrorists to positions of moral uprightness. It’s a new day, the day of the warriors. All cupcakes, exit doors are on the left.
