Former presidential candidate and ex-ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, has left most of the world in disgust after she signed the phrase: “Finish Them!” on artillery shells on Tuesday during her visit to the border with Lebanon.
Haley’s visit was made public in a social media post by Israeli Knesset member Danny Danon, who was also a former ambassador to the UN, who accompanied her and was also photographed signing an artillery shell.
Haley's signature on the shell included the line: “America [heart] Israel Always,” causing widespread controversy and outrage.
Finish them!

זה מה שכתבה היום חברתי, השגרירה לשעבר, ניקי היילי על פגז במהלך ביקור במוצב של תותחנים בגבול הצפון.

“Finish them” is not something Haley says for the first time, as it is something she often uses in her public speeches to speak against the Palestinian Resistance.
Former Human Rights Watch executive director Kenneth Roth said, “Nikki Haley shows who she is,” while American actor John Cusack said, “Anyone who signs a bomb is a sociopath”.
Nikki Haley shows who she is. As Israeli bombardment has killed far more Palestinian civilians than combatants, she signs a bomb, "Finish them." Why not just sign, "I favor Israeli war crimes." https://t.co/Y6TT5Mzs9t

Dear Americans, Nikki Haley visited us today: She went to the West Bank settlements and then went to sign on a bomb "finish them". Just disgusting. Can you please take her back? We already have one Ben Gvir & we don't need your filthy death promoting politicians as well. Thanks! pic.twitter.com/8nnLxHzNHl

Haley also went to the site of the Supernova music festival and Kibbutz Nir Oz, writing on Instagram with photos: “1 in 4 of their neighbors were murdered or taken hostage in Gaza,” adding, “No other country would accept this, Israel should not either," completely ignoring the 36,000 Palestinians killed at the hands of the Israelis and the thousands more stuck in infamous Israeli prisons.
“America needs to do whatever Israel needs and stop telling them how to fight this war,” she said. “You are either a friend or not a friend.”

It is worth noting that back in 2017, Haley threatened to take away billions of dollars in US foreign aid if sovereign countries didn't vote in favor of the UN resolution to recognize al-Quds as "Israel's" capital and move the US embassy there.
She has been a strong advocate of the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
