The United Nations vote on Monday condemning the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city was ridiculous.

I say that as someone who opposed President Trump’s decision. While U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley vetoed the Security Council resolution, its symbolism was intended to rebuke America. The U.N.’s timing is also unfortunate in that at this very moment, Hamas and its allies are using the Jerusalem announcement as a pivot toward new bloodletting.
