Sestak favors US giving up use of Security Council veto to protect Israel
Jennifer Rubin has yet another reason why people who consider themselves pro-Israel cannot in good conscience vote for Joe Sestak to be Pennsylvania's next Senator.Sestak filled out a questionnaire for an extreme Leftist group called Citizens for Global Solutions (CGS). CGS promotes a UN-centric group that would tie the United States and other western powers' hands behind their back in favor of the international collective at the UN.
In particular, this ought to greatly disturb Israel's supporters.
But of all his answers, the most troubling may be his unqualified yes to this one: “Will you support the call for the U.S. to refrain from the use or threat of a veto in the UN Security Council regarding situations involving ongoing genocide, crimes against humanity, or war crimes?” So, without knowing the context and without regard to the UN’s perpetual efforts to cast Israel as a criminal state, Sestak would call for the U.S. to tie its own hands. He’s ready — in advance — to throw away the one effective tool in its arsenal that allows it to defeat noxious UN Security Council actions. Good to know.Imagine that a Security Council resolution is presented that calls for Chapter 7 (mandatory) sanctions against Israel as a result of the 'war crimes' accusations of the Goldstone Report. Sestak would have the United States waive in advance its right to veto such a resolution.
Good to know indeed.
There's more in that post that ought to disturb Americans in general and supporters of Israel in particular.
Read the whole thing.
