On the recordDecember 5, 2016
Last week, the United Nations General Assembly passed six anti-Israel resolutions, including yet another one that denies and distances Jewish and Christian ties to the Temple Mount. In fact, Madam Speaker, the General Assembly will have taken up 20 anti-Israel resolutions by the end of this session and will have only brought up four--one, two, three, four--measures against some of the world's worst human rights violators like Iran, China, Russia, North Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba--combined. This just underscores, Madam Speaker, the need for systemwide reforms at the United Nations. With the new administration, Madam Speaker, we have an opportunity in the upcoming Congress to wield our considerable influence and leverage to promote and enact reforms by reassessing how we contribute taxpayer dollars to the corrupt U.N. system. The U.S. must stop legitimizing this farce at the United Nations. It is time for us to take action and bring much-needed reforms. ____________________
