Trump Overrules UN, Fires Shot Heard Loud And Clear In Israel
President Trump has made it very clear that he stands with Israel.
America and Israel are close allies who share an interest in peace in the Middle East and
upholding democratic values.
Now Trump just showed the world that he means what he says, after the State Department announced
that the United States will be withdrawing from the United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
UNESCO is involved in heritage preservation at environmentally and culturally sensitive
sites around the world.
It is highly disliked by Israel because Israel says UNESCO caters to the viewpoints and agendas
of Arab countries who are against the Jewish state.
Trump agrees.

"On October 12, 2017, the Department of State notified UNESCO Director-General Irina
Bokova of the U.S. decision to withdraw from the organization and to seek to establish
a permanent observer mission to UNESCO.
This decision was not taken lightly, and reflects U.S. concerns with mounting arrears at UNESCO,
the need for fundamental reform in the organization, and continuing anti-Israel bias at UNESCO,"
the State Department statement reads.
The withdrawal won't be complete by Dec. 31, 2018, but this decision is very important
as it shows that America is taking Israel's side in a big way and leaving the lies and
hypocrisy of the UN in the dust.
The US will still serve as a "non-member observer state" to UNESCO where it can help
share the US perspective on "some of the important issues undertaken by the organization,
including the protection of world heritage, advocating for press freedoms, and promoting
scientific collaboration and education," according to the State Department.
UNESCO is currently voting to choose a new leader of its organization.
Its decision to include Palestine recently was seen by many as proof that UNESCO is anti-Israel.
The decision to withdraw comes as UNESCO is voting to choose a new director this week
amid funding troubles and divisions over Palestinian membership.
Trump has reportedly been planning to ditch UNESCO for months but didn't make it official
until now.

During the reign of Obama the US cut $80 million per year in aid to UNESCO due to it letting
Palestine in as a member.
Last year Israel withdrew its own UNESCO ambassador when UNESCO had the nerve to say that one
of Jerusalem's most sacred sites — including to Jews — is only a "Muslim holy site
of worship."
The US also left UNESCO for a period of time during the Cold War under President Reagan.
This is another example of how Trump is more and more like the second-coming of Reagan.
The US rejoined UNESCO in 2003 but now it's leaving again.
The message is very clear: stop being unfair to our friends in Israel or we're not going
anywhere near participating in your charade.
What do you think of this story from the New York Post?
Is POTUS on the right track or do you disagree
with his decision?
