"Palestine" Becomes a Member of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

These are the monsters created in Obama's post-American world. The idea that a terror statelet whose entire reason for being is annihilation and genocide would be voted a member of the UN cultural and educational agency says more about the state of the UN today than anything.

"Palestine" is the stolen name of the state of Israel. Its sole contribution to humanity is the scourge of modern-day terrorism. It is also now a full member of The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Just last week, the leaders of the PA said that they would never recognize the Jewish state, and as their reward? Full membership in UNESCO. You just can't make this stuff up.

This is clearly the work of the modern universal caliphate, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Thanks again to Obama, who has successfully rendered America impotent in these matters. What a horror he is.

Every single penny of American freedom-loving, life-loving dollars should be withdrawn from the UN immediately.

This is one to watch. The Republicans should relentlessly beat the O-campaign over the head with this one. Is someone in the GOP making a list of his monstrous failures? Obama has singlehandedly done more to diminish American influence and dismantle the power structure in the world that was in favor of the good and the free than any of our enemies ever could. It is, in a word, breathtaking.

Palestine becomes member of UN cultural body Associated Press (hat tip Carmel)

PARIS (AP) — Palestine became a full member of the U.N. Cultural and educational agency Monday, in a highly divisive move that the United States and other opponents say could harm renewed Mideast peace efforts.

U.S. Lawmakers had threatened to withhold roughly $80 million in annual funding to UNESCO if it approved Palestinian membership. The United States provides about 22 percent of UNESCO's funding.

Huge cheers went up in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization after delegates approved the membership in a vote of 107-14 with 52 abstentions. Eighty-one votes were needed for approval in a hall with 173 UNESCO member delegations present.

"Long Live Palestine!" shouted one delegate, in French, at the unusually tense and dramatic meeting of UNESCO's General Conference.

While the vote has large symbolic meaning, the issue of borders of an eventual Palestinian state, security troubles and other disputes that have thwarted Middle East peace for decades remain unresolved.

Palestinian officials are seeking full membership in the United Nations, but that effort is still under examination and the U.S. Has said it will veto it unless there is a peace deal with Israel. Given that, the Palestinians separately sought membership at Paris-based UNESCO and other U.N. Bodies.

Monday's vote is definitive. The membership formally takes effect when Palestine signs UNESCO's founding charter.

The U.S. Ambassador to UNESCO, David Killion, said Monday's vote will "complicate" U.S. Efforts to support the agency. The United States voted against the measure.

Israel's ambassador to UNESCO, Nimrod Barkan, called the vote a tragedy.

"UNESCO deals in science, not science fiction," he said. "They forced on UNESCO a political subject out of its competence."

"They've forced a drastic cut in contributions to the organization," he said.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton last week called UNESCO's deliberation "inexplicable," saying discussion of Palestinian membership in international organizations couldn't replace negotiations with Israel as a fast-track toward Palestinian independence

UPDATE: As I said, the OIC, which functions as the modern universal caliphate, is behind this.

UPDATE: The UNESCO Opportunity, Editorial of The New York Sun | October 31, 2011

The decision of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization to approve full membership for Palestine provides America an opportunity not only to halt its funding of the organization but to withdraw entirely — and permanently.  The halt in funding is required by a law passed by Congress in the 1990s and signed by President Clinton. Unesco was warned of this consequence by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Secretary of State Clinton, shortly before Unesco took its vote. Her warning had a kind of rueful tone. The better way to look at it is a chance for America to extricate itself once and for all from an agency that has defined repeated efforts at reform.

Saudi Arabia became a member state of UNESCO in 1946, and look how they contribute to education, science and culture.

I expect no less from the Fakeistinian Authority.

Stongly worded letter with indignant scowl to follow! Otherwise nothing, as usual, will happen. I hope the next president will appoint John Bolton as Sec Of State.

And will someone introduce a bill to stop funding that useless UN??

[D'vorah]

The moment Israel decimated the Arabs in 1967 and took back Judea and Samaria and the eastern part of Jerusalem then annexation should have immediately begun before any of these savage Fakestinian factions could have had the chance to start spinning their propaganda. Nothing short of carpet-bombing Fakestan will rectify this situation now which is rapidly spinning out of control. I just want to scream.

[mk750]

I agree with D'vorah and we, Israel, should immediately withdraw from UNESCO if not the UN itself.

[Jamadagnii]

Could anyone translate the statement made in French by the Director General of UNESCO? http://youtu.be/ms58YVsFSdQ ?

[mitten]

We can pretty much take it for granted that Obama aka Cocoa Puff is doing all he can to help the third world Jihadis along with their plans. Egypt, Libya, etc, now just put Palestine on an equal footing with Israel...

Aid cut. The United States won't make a $60 million payment scheduled for November, according to State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

the UN are a JOKE! It has no place the world anymore, as it supports the very thing it's supposed to be in opposition to. COWARDS!

This post by Pamela is so over the top in its racist rhetoric, the only way I can read this is to see it as a parody of itself.

Indeed, a better parody of Geller's work could not be achieved if one tried. This is good, good stuff. Brilliant, even, to a comedic mind.

Kudos, Pamela. Such talents should be celebrated.

Don't know where to start . . .

Didja know that the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is not yet a designated World Heritage Site? But now likely will be?

Didja know that the law you cited referred to the "PLO" -- Palestinian Authority is totally different entity.

Didja know that the name "Palestine" to describe the region was coined by Rome in the 1st century CE?

Didja know that the Obama administration has now cut off funding for UNESCO? (Why you folks are so against science and education I just don't know.) Really looks like Obama wanted this, right?

But I will laud you on the very attractive Web banner. Prolly designed by someone gay.

[Xavier823]

Sixty million dollars denied to a U.N. group. How sweet it is!

[rpwpb]

Didja know any of the above? I suspect not.

Do some basic homework; overcome ignorance; then perhaps you'll be listened to.

[rpwpb]

And what is it with you and yours about the UN? There are no black helicopters. It's a rather ineffectual organization dedicated to preventing the next world war. What's there to object to? Paranoid conspiracy theories only get you into a psych ward.

[KKKK]

this just makes me sick. why should a group of loserheads who terrorize others for the shake of what is rightfully their land be admited to any culutre and/or science international body? tell when's the last time a FALSEtinian was contributing anything but bombs and dead bodies to culture and science?

[Joann]

Preventing the next world war?! Markel Germany's PM has already used that threat about 2 weeks ago. where have you been? Straighten up or there will be war! she and sarkozy are too cozy for my taste or, for that matter, the world's safety.

[Tutor]

Why do we let our government use our tax dollars for bribes??? We have become the laughing stock of the world...
