[Peace-discuss] Philip Weiss: Mueller Report says 'multiple members' of Trump transition approached foreign officials to stop UN resolution against Israeli settlements

[Robert Naiman]

I bet you a dollar you won't hear anything about this on NPR today. Members
of the Trump transition team, led by Jared Kushner, acting at the direction
of the Israeli government, worked assiduously to undermine the Obama
Administration's policy of allowing a UN Security Council resolution
condemning illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank to pass. And they
partially succeeded: Trump called Egyptian "President" Sisi [he took power
in a military coup] and got Egypt to withdraw the resolution. Other
countries then brought it forward, and the resolution passed. According to
the people currently running America, there are foreign influence attempts
we should be very concerned about and foreign influence attempts we should
not be concerned about at all. Russian and Chinese foreign influence
attempts should make us froth at the mouth. Saudi, UAE, and Israeli foreign
influence attempts should not concern us at all, even though they have been
far more consequential. 85,000 Yemeni children starved to death as a result
of the successful Saudi-UAE foreign influence attempt in Washington.
