3 cheers for Donald Trump who just gave Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo the middle finger and for which I as a Palestinian American am deeply greatful…
President-elect Trump announced yesterday that neither former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley nor former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be a part of his new administration. That was a wise move by Trump. Let’s examine the reasoning behind Trump’s savvy decision.
* First of all, most of Nikki Haley’s campaign funds came from the defense industry and the pro-Israeli lobby.
* During her campaign for President, Nikki Haley was willing to go on her hands & knees for the Jewish vote and money by pledging to cut all US aid to foreign nations that are Israel-unfriendly.
* Haley spent her tenure at the UN Assembly passing the anti-Palestinian and anti-Iranian resolutions where Israel has been condemned more than 400 times against the US wishes.
* Miss Nikki urged Americans to spy on their fellow American citizens by publishing every name and picture of the pro-Palestinian protesters in cities and universities across America. Reason? They are opposing the Israeli genocide and don’t want their tax money going into slaughtering Palestinian women and children.
* Haley flew to Israel, met with the IOF soldier, and scribbled with a sharpie on artillery shells, “FINISH THEM! Not Hamas, or Jihad, but all 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza. What do you expect from shameless Nikki who changed her birthname to appease her white surroundings?
* Haley told America that Trump is too old to lead America and that she is young and better fit.
* Mike Pompeo is another Republican who sold his soul to the devil. He does not put America first. He put Israel first and thereby threatening US citizens abroad. He spent the last 4 years attacking Palestinian defenders. He has forgotten that he is an American citizen.
* Mike Pompeo was the first US secretary of state to visit an illegal Jewish settlement in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, practically giving Israel a stamp of approval of the right to steal and repossess Palestinian lands.
* On November 19, 2020, Pompeo overturned a state department’s legal opinion that said the settlements were “inconsistent” with international law, according to BBC report.
* Pompeo spent his last weeks in office as a Sec. of State hopping from one country to another in the Middle East and Africa, coercing them to recognize the so-called “only democracy in the Middle East.” He used entrapment, intimidation, and blackmail to force other countries in the region to recognize Israel.
* One month before he left office, Pompeo classified any criticism of Israel’s war crimes as anti-Semitic. So, according to him, it will be an offense to support human rights and international law. The new plan will equate any criticism of Israel with antisemitism as an attempt to silence pro-Palestinian advocates. That takes a very twisted mind to come up with such a plan. I was happy for Sec. Pompeo when I learned that he has lost 90 lb., but I believe this man has lost his marbles too.
It’s time for hawkish people like Haley, Pompeo, and other Israeli cheerleaders in the US to accept the fact that the occupied people of Palestine have a right to resist the occupation in every way possible. Resistance is not a crime! It is a duty! Under UNGA Resolution, 37/43 Palestinians have the right to resist foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggles.
Finally, President Trump’s savvy move illustrates that neither Haley nor Pompeo are “the brightest lightbulbs in the chandelier.”
