Cruz to UN: Stop demonizing Israel

Source: The Resurgent | May 2, 2017 | Tim Thomas

Texas Senator Ted Cruz has joined Florida Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in a statement condemning the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural organization (UNESCO) for another expected anti-Israel resolution.

From the joint statement:

“These anti-Israel resolutions should be unequivocally rejected whenever they are proposed. It is long past time for Members of UNESCO to stop being complicit in this international campaign to delegitimize Israel”.

The resolution in question is expected to be passed next Tuesday, which not coincidentally happens to be the 69th anniversary of the official establishment of the Jewish State by the United Nations, according to the Hebrew calendar. The Gregorian calendar date of the nation’s independence is May 14.

The statement comes fresh off two rare moments of unanimity in the US Senate this spring regarding Israel. In March, all sitting Senators signed a letter to President Trump to move swiftly to address dozens of threats against various locations of interest to Jews in the United States, including a number of synagogues.

Then in April, the Senate voted unanimously to send a letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to “ensure that Israel is treated neither better nor worse than any other U.N. member in good standing.”
