so supportive and attracted to evil? French culture is pure degenerate, so I can understand their feeling connected to the corrupt Arabs occupying the Holy Land. Any honest French person would say much of the same. Sarkosy must be told he is not welcomed in the Middle East.

This farce is the 'total devaluation of the UN/UNESCO. I wonder when the FARC, the KURDS, the ARMENIANS, the CHECHINS, the BASKS, Northern Ireland and Kashmir will become 'full members of this 'educational sciense fiction forum.

So few countries nowdays stand for what is just and moral and are NOT SCARED to state it loud and clear as it is! I am a so proud to be Canadian.

Thank rather the millions of Arabs who have invaded France and whose votes are needed by the boneless French politicians. Shame on them. They could learn a lot from the Dutch and the Germans, who have so many Turks in their countries but still prefer to stand with what is right.

The United States by law can no longer fund UNESCO which has been hijacked from it's main purpose of promoting econonomic, scientific and cultural progress. Those that voted for the admission of the palestinians to full membership before negotiating a Peace Treaty with Israel will now have to pay more to support this politicized organization.

Union as members, while consider the IslmicJihad, PFLP and DPFLP as legitimate opposition within "Palestine": All components, coalition and opposition, of "Palestine", call for the demise of a member state of UNESCO, that is Israel, and the demise of any trace of Jewish existence in this cradle of Jewish civilization and the national home of the Jewish people for the past 4,000 years with Jerusalem/Zion at its center. This is the decision reached by an organization that considers itself a promoter of culture and education as well as the heritage of peoples and civilizations... What a cynical world...!!

to the enemies of Israel when disaster strikes. And it will.

The submoronic vote by the cabal of communists, criminals and canibals of UNESCO means that they have now lost the free meal pass and ticket to ride at any cuepon discounted event at which Israel is involved. Past time for the major load of verbal and written donkey dung to be richly heaped upon their flea nibbled but totally empty heads. The mere mention of the term UNESCO should be met with open dirision and snidley sneering scorn, placing them where they earned their place close to the whale poop, at the bottom of the deep blue sea.

Truth hurts, doesn't it? I'll offer up my question to you, then .... Please tell me what the ersatz "Palestinians" have contributed to civilization in the way of science, culture and education. Terrorism doesn't count.

UNESCO is an alleged cultural, educational and scientific organization. What is the Pal. educational contribution? How to teach kids to strap bombs on their backs? Scientific? How to light a rocket fuse? Cultural? How to dance on Jewish graves? This and the entire UN are a farce.

their is no such place as palestine, MABROOK FOR WHAT.

The PA are culturally just the ones needed to provide chairmen for three new UNESCO committees: The UNESCO Committee to Promote Elitism, The UNESCO Committee to Promote Mendacity, The UNESCO Committee to Promote Violence. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

full member of the UNESCO, actually. Since 09.06.1992. Why not? It's the independent country with the millennial history, unlike "Palestine".

Jews are not Europeans. They are Jews.

the jig is up. You arabs now have to fund unesco. In the next while, Hamas will be exterminated, PA will disband, arabs will move to jordan. with allah's best wishes

Well said my friends, and said enough.

We need to stop dictating the Palestinans. They could do what ever they want that is not harming Israel & I fail to see how this is harming us.

i don't know when you , arrogant Zionists, will ever learn. With the majority of the World standing with Palestinians, doesn't that tell you anything? why do you still live in denial? wake up and go back to Europe and US, leave the land for its real owners before it's too late!

our next door Neighbours.. its really worth it to come and visit Ramallah,, i am pretty sure you know nothing about us other than what you see on TV and hear over the news.. i will not be surprised of what you believe .. all the people came from the states, Europe and even Arab countries do not believe their eyes.. its not as what they used to watch or imagine about Palestine ..or Palestinians ... we are much civlized than many others, our cities are clean ,beautiful and our people are peaceful and simple.. ask the Israeli journalists who come over here, ask your friends who came here even if they came over a tank some years ago.. once you see what we are,, you will tell your goverment that we deserve our freedom and peace .. you may have been through this in 20's and 30's and suffered from others the same we we suffer now..

Abbas might be making a bid for UN membership but they haven't got it yet all they have is an observer status so how does the UN justify granting them UNESCO membership. UNESCO recently declared Rachel's Tomb as a mosque and with the palestinians as members how many more Jewish sites will be declared as islamic ones? The arabs claim that the Kotel is an Islamic holy place because its where Mohammed tied up his horse so it really wouldn't surprise me if UNESCO declared the Kotel an Islamic site or one that is equally holy to Jews & Muslims and Israel should not have sovereignty over it. Obama should also be congratulated on this one because he has made it possible to reduce the US national debt by $80 million.

You're right. My mistake.

And,Chris,I wonder where you think that the Jews who went to Israel after being kicked out of Mohammedan countries in the Middle East and North Africa should go back to? Perhaps you haven't thought that far or simply cannot face that uncomfortable fact,you anti-Semitic bastard. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Symbolic vote and UNESCO gets defunded. Palestinians afraid to deal with Israel so they take everyone down with them. UNESCO is a waste. How's the weather in your virtual Gaza hovel?

The people on this forum are nuts.

Dear Chris... you make such a good jokes! you should work as a comedian... THREE CHEERS FOR CHRIS THE GAZA CLOWN!!!

Membership means paying membership fees. Where are the funds coming from? Iran, Venezuela or UNRWA? Many important religious sites are on so-called Palestinian territory and under their custody, e.g. Hebron. I wonder what will be left for the descending generations. Probably very little.

Yes,its wonderful what you can do with massive aid from EU,US,Japan,,,,what's left after the PA crooks have taken their cut. It could be that Israelis aren't keen on seeing for themselves because they don't fancy being lynched by savages. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Denial is believing that you are the true Palestinians. Arafat was an Egyptian. The Jews are at home in Israel and they are not going anywhere. Quit your crying and get used to it.

Very well said, Ian. Kudus friend,

Thanks for the invite, but no thanks, I have no desire to be lynched by your people.
