Graham blasts UN after Jerusalem resolution

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) ripped the United Nations in a tweet on Friday, dubbing the global body as weak and increasingly anti-Semitic.

“I don’t mind the United Nations expressing displeasure with American foreign policy decisions through a non-binding vote of the General Assembly,” Graham said in a tweet referring to a U.N. resolution condemning U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.

“However, I do MIND sending American tax dollars to: an inefficient UN, a weak UN in the face of evil, and a growing anti-semitic UN. We will deal with these issues in 2018,” he continued.

Graham’s comments come one day after 128 nations, including some of the U.S.’s most loyal allies, voted in favor of a resolution condemning President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.{mosads}

The senator has often been critical of the U.N. in the past. 

Graham partnered with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) earlier this year to introduce a bill aimed at cutting funding to the international body over a resolution condemning Israeli settlements.
