Talkbacks US Ambassador to UN delivers speech following resolution

she, like the arabs, claims that the territory referred to as the west bank,
has been occupied by israel since the six day war;
she, like the arabs, claims that this territory is palestininan;
she, like the arabs, claims that the presence of jews in this territory
is illegal.
she, like the arabs, claims that the armistice lines of 1949 are the
borders of israel.
she, like the arabs, claims that there is a city called "east jerusalem,"
by which she means arab jerusalem.

in all she says, power is lying.
the territory of the west bank is disputed, not occupied.
there never was a palestinian sovereign, ever in history, anywhere
in the middle east.
jewish presence in the territory of the west bank cannot be illegal
since the territory is at most disputed, and has never been sovereign.
israel liberated this land occupied by arab colonialists when combined
arab armies attacked her with an intention to destroy the jewish
state.
power's claim that the 1949 armistice lines are the borders of israel
is mendacious. neither the un, nor any other international actor,
has the authority to determine unilaterally the borders of a
sovereign state.
the holy jewish city of jerusalem, city of david, seat of zion, will never
belong to the arabs who are colonial imperial powers who have
no legitimate legal claim to this city, the holy city of the two
jewish temples.
israel will protect the rights of religious minorities, but she will not
give any part of jerusalem to illegal muslim squatters.

we remember that samantha power at one time suggested that
israel be invaded and forced to abide by the dictates of her
masters. it is no wonder then that she is still singing from
the arab playbook.
