<\/a><\/p>\nFormer UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is the most ardently pro-Zionist GOP politician and surely Israel\u2019s Choice for president.<\/em><\/p>\n By Philip Giraldi<\/strong><\/p>\n In late June, President Donald Trump flailed away with his own particular brand of nondiplomacy at the G20 Summit in Japan, but it is worthwhile noting on the plus side that his administration is so inept that it could not even plan and execute a proper coup in Venezuela. Nor has it been able to concoct sufficient lies about Iran effective enough to create a\u00a0casus belli<\/em>\u00a0and unleash the B-52s. There is a certain comfort in knowing that the United States is now governed by the Three Stooges\u2014\u201cLarry\u201d Trump, \u201cMoe\u201d Pompeo, and \u201cCurly\u201d Bolton\u2014which means that starting new wars might just be beyond their cognitive ability to make mischief.<\/p>\n The real irony is that stupidity is both bipartisan and contagious in the federal government. The Democrats have not quite figured out that instead of playing identity politics, talking about reparations, gay rights, \u201cundocumented migrants,\u201d and free college, they should instead be discussing more important issues, notably the impending nuclear holocaust being stumbled into by the Trumpsters, which just might bring to an end life on this planet as we know it.<\/p>\n A college friend recently asked me what my nightmare scenario for a totally dysfunctional foreign and national security policy might be. I responded without thinking that it really is all about war and peace, that the worst case would be the impeachment of a bumbling Trump and his replacement by a much more capable and vicious Vice President Mike Pence, who actually wants to end the world so he can be raptured up to heaven.<\/p>\n But my answer was wrong. Trump is unlikely to be impeached by a Senate in which the GOP holds a majority, so Pence\u2019s ascent to the throne is not currently plausible unless the president suffers a cardiac arrest after ingesting too many cheeseburgers. The real danger is what comes after Trump, in 2024. The preferred candidate by Israel and its lobby, and therefore the prohibitive favorite, is Trump\u2019s former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. If you think Trump is blindly and blatantly pro-Israel at the expense of American interests, just wait until you see Haley\u2019s naked self-interest at work.<\/p>\n Haley resigned from her position at the UN last October. Like many others in the foreign policy establishment, she was all for Israel because she understood that leaning that way provided instant access to money and plenty of positive press coverage. Completely ignorant of possible consequences, she declared that Washington was \u201clocked and loaded,\u201d prepared to exercise lethal military options against Syria and its Russian and Iranian allies, seen as enemies by Israel. Immediately upon taking office at the United Nations she complained that \u201cnowhere has the UN\u2019s failure been more consistent and more outrageous than in its bias against our close ally Israel\u201d and vowed that the \u201cdays of Israel bashing are over.\u201d Not surprisingly, she was greeted by rounds of applause and cheering when she spoke at the annual meeting of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) last March, saying, \u201cWhen I come to AIPAC I am with friends.\u201d<\/p>\n Haley\u2019s embrace of Israeli points of view was unrelenting, including blocking any investigation of the Israeli army\u2019s slaughter of unarmed Palestinian demonstrators in Gaza. She also led the effort to cut funds going to the agency providing critical food and medical assistance to millions of Palestinian refugees. In February 2017, she blocked the appointment of former Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to a diplomatic position at the United Nations because he was a Palestinian. In a congressional hearing she was asked about the decision: \u201cIs it this administration\u2019s position that support for Israel and support for the appointment of a well-qualified individual of Palestinian nationality to an appointment at the UN are mutually exclusive?\u201d Haley responded yes, that the administration is \u201csupporting Israel\u201d by blocking every Palestinian.<\/p>\n Not surprisingly, Haley consistently took a hard line against Iran, aggressively supporting Trump\u2019s abrogation of the agreement to control its nuclear weapons, and she famously warned that Washington would be \u201ctaking names\u201d of countries that don\u2019t support its agenda in the Middle East. If Haley were a recruited agent of influence for the Israeli Mossad she could not have been more cooperative than she apparently was voluntarily.<\/p>\n When Haley resigned,\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0predictably produced an astonishing editorial headlined \u201cNikki Haley Will Be Missed.\u201d Other praise of her upon her impending departure from the UN was related to whom exactly she managed to please while she was in office. The ubiquitous neocon-in-chief Bill Kristol has long been promoting Haley for president. One leading member of Kristol\u2019s neocon chorus, Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, tweeted, \u201cThank you @nikkihaley for your remarkable service. We look forward to welcoming you back to public service as president of the United States.\u201d Dubowitz is a Canadian Jew, and it would be nice if he could be deported to a remote Internet-free spot on Baffin Island where he can cease interfering in American politics, but that would mean putting an end to the $560,000 in salary and benefits that he enjoys for being one of Israel\u2019s most reliable Fifth Column traitors in the United States.<\/p>\n Nikki was also praised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. \u201cI would like to thank Ambassador @nikkihaley, who led the uncompromising struggle against hypocrisy at the UN, and on behalf of the truth and justice of our country. Best of luck!\u201d The Israeli Army itself had nice things to say, tweeting, \u201cThank you @nikkihaley for your service in the @UN and unwavering support for Israel and the truth. The soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces salute you!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
