(Kansas City Star) Charles Duncan - Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, speaking at the Shaar Hashamayim synagogue in Montreal on April 10, called her veto vote that paved the way for the U.S. Embassy in Israel to move to Jerusalem "one of my proudest moments....I felt like I was fighting for the truth and for what was right. And I was mad. Every country has the sovereign right to put their embassy wherever they choose. The U.S. always chooses to have its embassy in the capital. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. The rest of the world can't hide what we know as fact." She noted, "If you actually go into the quiet corners of the UN, most countries don't hate Israel, most envy Israel." She said of UN resolutions, "I don't think they matter." Member states are not actually required to abide by UN resolutions.
