Because of laws passed in the
early 1990s that bar American funding for any U.N. agency that grants
membership to Palestinians, Washington must now withhold $80 million
from UNESCO, about 22% of its budget.

That
excerpt from today's LA Times editorial Using
the United Nations
"The lopsided vote for
Palestine's entry into UNESCO shows how isolated the U.S. and Israel
are."

The
U.S. was on the losing side of a 107-14 vote in favor of membership,
with 52 countries abstaining, including staunch U.S. ally Britain;
another close European ally, France, voted in favor of the
Palestinians. That result came in spite of a fevered campaign by
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to shore up support in
foreign capitals for the U.S. position (rather absurd theater given the Obamunist
record)..

I'm always annoyed by our
membership in the UN, and lately (since 9-11-2001) even more. Here are
the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are
recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:

Kuwait votes
against the United States 67% of the time Qatar votes against the
United States 67% of the time→ Morocco votes against the United States
70% of the time→ United Arab Emirates votes against the United States 70% of the time→ . Jordan
votes against the United States 71% of the time→ . Tunisia votes
against the United States 71% of the time→ . Saudi Arabia votes against
the United States 73% of the time→ .
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time→ . Algeria votes
against the United States 74% of the time→ . Oman votes against the
United States 74% of the time→ . Sudan votes against the United States
75% of the time→ . Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the
time→ . Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time→ . Egypt
votes against the United States 79% of the time→ . Lebanon votes
against the United States 80% of the time→ . India votes against the

BUT WAIT! Did you catch
that opening excerpt? The one about "... laws passed in the early 1990s that bar
American funding for any U.N. agency that grants membership to
Palestinians ...?"
That means if the UN grant Palestine full UN membership, which
appears more and more likely, it will be illegal for us to give them so
much as a farthing! I think the LA Times caught the significance
of the
law, because in true Liberal "blame the US" fashion, the editorial
ends—

The
anti-Palestine laws should be repealed. |

ReplyDeleteThis is really an exclamation point on the incompetent, non-stop, five-star gluttony, road show that is democrats doing foreign policy. They haven't a clue.
ReplyDeleteThey've lost control of the horses on the downhill side, and we're all in for a wild ride.

This is the opportunity we have been waiting for to eject these thuggish "diplomats" and raise this God-foresaken building.
ReplyDeleteThe UN can relocate to "Palestine", Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia or some other 3rd world hellhole.
Let the diplomats and their family members and other hangers-on enjoy the shopping and theatre in the UN's new home venue.
Instead of getting parking tickets they can ignore, they will get lashes for double parking, speeding, etc.
The way Change has been going with That One's administration, I'm really surprised the United States voted against it. I mean, talk about sending mixed signals.
