Dershowitz: UN is a 'Place of Hate' for US, Israel

Ambassador Nikki Haley's work to cut millions of dollars from the United Nations' budget sends an important notice that has become a "place of hate" when it comes to the United States and Israel, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Monday.

"As far as what Nikki Haley has done I think it's terrific," Dershowitz told Fox News' "Fox and Friends" program. "It's about time we sent a message to the U.N., which has become a place of hate when it comes to the United States and Israel."

On Sunday, the United States applauded a $285 million cut that had been made in the U.N.'s core budget, after the General Assembly adopted a $5.396 billion budget for 2018-2019, just below the $5.4 billion that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had sought.

The United States provides for 22 percent of the U.N.'s core budget, and Haley commented in a statement that "inefficiency and overspending" were "well known" at the world agency.

"You know that Israel's representative to the U.N. once said that if Algeria introduced a resolution that the Earth was flat, and that Israel flattened it, it would win by a vote of 120 to 63, with 28 abstentions," Dershowitz said Monday.

"There has to be consequences for this kind of voting."

Nikki Haley is showing some real chutzpah at the UN. It was a good choice putting her there.

Some are speculating about her in a Presidential run.. I think that might be a less effective use of her skills. Perhaps Secretary of State would be another great place for her to serve.

I do appreciate her service to our country. She is doing a GREAT job!
