It was not only Israel that Ukraine Dissed in the UN It stabbed the USA also in the UN — despite receiving $175B

 


Despite receiving hundreds of billions of dollars in critical military aid since Russia’s invasion in 2022, Ukraine has made a habit of rejecting US interests at the United Nations, according to a review of State Department data by The Post.

After years of skirmishes, Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 — initiating a bloody ongoing conflict which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

The invasion also marked the beginning of a gusher of US military and government aid, with at least $175 billion so far being allocated, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.

That same year, however, Ukraine voted differently than the US on 31% of measures brought before the United Nations General Assembly, according to the data, which shows that the US was in closer alignment with Albania (27%) Iceland (30%) and Micronesia (22%).

As the war raged in 2023, Ukraine’s record slightly improved — voting differently in 24% of cases.

But many of Ukraine’s actions have been in direct opposition to the United States’ position in powderkeg regions, such as the Middle East.

Just days after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, the UN passed Resolution ES-10/21 calling for an “immediate and sustained” humanitarian truce.

The US led a bloc of 14 nations to oppose it. Ukraine abstained — and did so again in a follow-up resolution demanding a ceasefire in December 2023, which was also opposed by the US.

In November 2023 the United Nations voted to demand the United States lift its trade embargo on Cuba —  with only Israel and the US voting against it. Ukraine abstained.

“I think its disgraceful that a country that is so reliant on the largesse of the United Sates to keep them viable as a nation-state refuses to back our plays in the United Nations and shows that they would rather kowtow to . . . somebody else when we’re the ones keeping them safe,” Jim Hanson, a international affairs consultant in D.C., told The Post.

Among the nations, Israel’s voting record was most closely aligned to the United States with a voting coincidence of over 90% in both years.

Last year’s data is expected to be released by the end of March.


MSNBC host Joy Reid went “on a vile antisemitic rant,” in which she blamed Orthodox Jews for the spread of COVID-19 in New York City

 

Former MSNBC host Joy Reid went “on a vile antisemitic rant,” in which she blamed Orthodox Jews for the spread of COVID-19 in New York City, a former production assistant at the network claims.

In the summer of 2020, the lefty former “TheReidOut” host allegedly ripped Orthodox Jews, saying they “only care about themselves” and are “in their own bubble,” and accused the group of reckless behavior during the pandemic, according to the PA.

The ex-PA, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said she is speaking out now that Reid’s been axed because “people should know what her character is.”

“They’re the reason why COVID is spreading across New York,” the former staffer claimed Reid said unchallenged during a morning conference call. “They don’t care about COVID or spreading it to others.

“I was shocked she called out a group and generalized them,” said the ex-PA, who is Jewish, who said it was even more shocking that the “other people on the call went along with it as if it’s a normal thing to say.”

About 20 people from the production team were on the call, she recalled.

“No one called her out [saying] ‘Maybe we shouldn’t generalize.’ Imagine if you said that about any other group of people – even if it were true – saying that any other group didn’t care about COVID?

“I remember feeling shocked – shocked by her ignorance and how antisemitic it sounded.”

The source, who felt too “intimidated” as a young staffer to speak out at the meeting, sent a Slack message later that day to her boss, then-senior producer Lorena Ruiz.

In the messages, shared this week with The Post, she expressed her deep concern over the “100 percent antisemitic” comments.

She asked her boss to consider “collective responsibility” since many Orthodox Jews were “part of the many doctors creating the COVID guidelines and restrictions, and risking their lives every day to treat COVID patients.” 

Ruiz replied that the young staffer had a “good point.”

“Joy can be very careless with her language,” she wrote, adding, “Luckily, she is generally better on air than on the calls” before she thanked the junior staffer for “bringing it up,” according to a copy of the messages seen by The Post. 

At the time of its debut in July 2020, the much-hyped 7 p.m. show, “TheReidOut,” was hailed by the left as a fresh voice, covering “the intersection of race, justice and culture.”

From 2016 to 2020, Reid also hosted the weekend political show “AM Joy.”

“It was a very hypocritical atmosphere. It was completely contradictory,” said the source, noting that Reid’s shtick was speaking up for so-called marginalized groups but had no problem blaming Jews for spreading the virus.

“It was very targeted racial issues [on the show] but other discrimination went ignored,” said the former staffer.

She was so “turned off” and stung, she wanted to quit, even going so far as to compose a note of resignation over the inflammatory incident. “I was writing out a text like I don’t feel comfortable continuing on the show,” she said, adding that her family “talked me out of it.” 

The staffer — who worked on Chris Matthews’ “Hardball” show until it was canceled early in 2020 — is now 28 and still works in media. She admitted she felt “very alone and like I was working with people who don’t understand.”

After Reid was canned recently, the former staffer emailed MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler, expressing her “sense of relief” after witnessing firsthand Reid’s “deeply troubling behavior, particularly her vile antisemitism.”

“All these years, I never spoke up about it, except to my closest friends and family,” she said with regret. “I always felt like it was something heavy on my chest.

“I think maybe I should have spoken out to someone higher up or even to her [Reid] herself, that I should have spoken up more.”

NBCUniversal declined to comment.

Neither Reid, her agent nor Ruiz returned messages.

PA ‘Pay-for-Slay’ Fueled 7,000 Terror Attacks Against Israel in 2024

 

Seven thousand attacks That’s how frequently Palestinian Arab terrorists attacked or attempted to attack Israelis in Judea and Samaria during 2024, according to a sobering new report from SSF Rescuers Without Borders.

The emergency aid group’s findings, released Tuesday, paint a picture of relentless violence that claimed 27 lives and left 306 wounded, all outside the more publicized conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, or within Israel proper.

Most prevalent were rock-throwing incidents with 3,668 followed by fire bombs and Molotov cocktails at 843. Innocent Israelis were shot at 179 times across Judea and Samaria and targeted with 526 bombs. Nine stabbings and 12 ramming attacks were listed as “successful” in the clinical language of the report.

Last month, three Palestinian terrorists opened fire on a bus and civilian vehicles traveling on Route 55 near the village of al-Funduq, close to Kedumim. A police officer and two Israeli civilians were killed. Hamas claimed responsibility and called the terror attack a “heroic operation.”

In another incident, a 16-year-old Arab girl from al-Midya attacked an Israeli civilian at a car wash. She stabbed him in the stomach with a knife before the owner and bystanders intervened. Israeli security forces launched a manhunt, and she was eventually transferred to Israel by Palestinian Authority security forces in a move that the Islamic Jihad condemned as dangerous “security coordination” with the Jewish State.

A particularly insidious tactic emerged in 671 reported cases where Arabs used laser devices to blind Israeli drivers leading to fatal crashes. Security experts warn that unless Israel and her allies completely choke off the PA’s notorious “pay-for-slay incentive” program, the toll of Israeli casualties will likely continue to rise in 2025.

Blinken had decided to impose sanctions on an Israeli intelligence unit that interrogated terrorists and called civilians to warn them to evacuate.

 

Blinken attempted to impose sanctions on a crucial Israeli intelligence unit, former Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Herzog revealed in an interview with Israel Hayom this week.

The ambassador told Ariel Kahana that Blinken had decided to impose sanctions on Unit 504 of the Military Intelligence Directorate, which was involved in investigating the October 7 massacre, interrogating captured terrorists, and making thousands of calls and sending millions of messages to warn civilians in Gaza to leave dangerous areas.

"He had already decided [to impose sanctions on the unit]. We managed to prevent him from bringing down the axe at the last minute," Herzog said.

He noted that “there are a lot of anti-Israel people in the State Department who put obstacles in the way" of Israel's response to the October 7 massacre.

"There were difficult moments, and there were cases when the Americans went crazy," he said, describing the tensions between Israel and the US during the war. "More than once they really attacked me and said, 'You're crazy, you've fallen on your head, how could you do something like this that would lead to an escalation? You'll drag us into war because you didn't think it through to the end and then ask us to come and rescue you.' There were tough arguments about things Israel did that, in their eyes, was one step too far."

Herzog criticized the US for withholding 2,000 bombs from Israel over Israel's plans to attack the last remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah last year. The operation in Rafah did not result in the humanitarian disaster the Biden Administration claimed it would. "Who even remembers Rafah today?” Herzog said.

Despite these disputes and problematic actions, the ambassador said that there was more good than bad in the US-Israel relationship during the war because Israel continued to receive smaller munitions and because the US assisted in shooting down the hundreds of missiles and attack drones Iran launched at Israel in two massive attacks in 2024.

Fireworks in the Oval Office ..Trump and Vance Destroy Ukrainian President Over Being “Unthankful for Hundreds of Billion in U.S. Taxpayer Aid”




A tense exchange erupted in the Oval Office as President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance confronted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of being ungrateful for the $350 billion in U.S. taxpayer aid sent to Ukraine. 

Vance pressed Zelensky directly, saying: 
“Do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” 

 Trump doubled down, warning Zelensky about the grave consequences of his stance: 
“You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards … You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people! You’re gambling with World War III!” 

 The heated confrontation underscored the Trump administration’s hardline stance on foreign aid and the expectation of accountability from U.S. allies.
