1. That's OK. Soon Al Qaida boss will take over useless UNESCO.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.18.14)
2. Why?
joseph ,   Malta   (01.18.14)
Because the Arabs are afraid of the truth coming out; that is Eretz Yisrael belongs to the Jews and not to the Arabs.
3. Proof again how easily the United Nothings
A ,   Belgium   (01.18.14)
can be blackmailed by the arab bloc, as is the US. Time for Israel to pull out of this useless organization of bigotry and deceit.
4. UNESCO
Nadya ,   California, USA   (01.18.14)
If the US stopped paying dues and is not a voting member of the organization stop the pressure tactics. Israel put us in this position, let them pay the price.
5. Exhibit endangering the ''peace proces"
tiki ,   belgium   (01.18.14)
They are absolutely right. By showing 3.5000 years of Jewish ties & presence with Israel, the whole Palestinian farce will burst open to expose the lies that poison the world against Israel. From Arabs to NGO's, from Western leaders to journalists, from UN to UNESCO, all will be exposed as liars & manipulators and racist Jew haters. And the Palestinians? They will have to go back to their roots = Arabs. Is it going to happen? No, because LIES RULE THE WORLD!
6. Who makes the decisions at UNESCO?
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (01.18.14)
They obviously haven't read "the smoking gun arab immigration into palestine" scientific article from the MEForum for a balanced insite. Ils sont rien que des putains.
7. Pawn of the Arab League
Max ,   Washington DC   (01.18.14)
UNESCO under Irina Bokova has become the Pawn of the Arab League and has cast shame on the entire United Nations by delaying the Exhibition showing the ties of the Jewish People to their Homeland. Would Ms. Bokova delay an exhibition of the Arab League showing Muslim ties to Mecca?
8. UNESCO is another corrupt tool of the corrupt OIC run UN GA
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (01.18.14)
9. white house
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (01.18.14)
The white house should be getting their friends (if it has any) around the world to stop giving money to the UN for anything. Cut them out and throw them out of the US the property is worth a lot more than we're getting from it.
10. Either its a land without people for peope without land
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.18.14)
or its A God given rights of Jews to the Holy land. Gotta stick to one bs story
11. US and Israel stopped paying dues to UNESCO
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.18.14)
Why can't the Wiesenthal Center do it own exhibition without demanding the Int. Organization bestow respectability to the on 'Jewish' fairy stories/ history in the ME
12. Expect nothing from the UN
Ron ,   oc us   (01.18.14)
Expect nothing from the UN and you will not be disappointed. UNESCO is useless, the UN is run by the Arabs and their supporters and they hate Jews.
13. When everybody is wrong
Daniel   (01.18.14)
First and foremost, UNESCO is absolutely wrong to give in to Arab pressure, and it's disgraceful to pull the exhibition. At the same time, Israel and the US were wrong to withdraw from UNESCO. If you're not part of the club, you don't have a say. Even more important, what message does it send? We demand (rightly) that Israel be recognized as a Jewish state. But what do we do if someone recognize the Palestinians? We boycott them. Not the right way to go, as it opens us up to criticism for double standards.
14. leave the UN to the Third World despots
Steve   (01.18.14)
So the Arab League wishes to rewrite three and a half millennia of recorded history because the peace talks would be compromised should any truth seep in and corrupt this ridiculous dog and pony show. I no longer think it would be over the top for Israel to leave the Arab centric UN and focus on a series of direct relations with a few critical countries. Israel's strategic value coupled with its advanced technology sector will bode well for stronger relations with a host of forward thinking nations beyond the influence of the repugnant Arab League and the craven and increasingly anti Semitic EU.
15. Time to defund the U.N.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.18.14)
There is no reason to continue showering this evil undemocratic and Jew hating organization with money. Time to defund the U.N.
16. UNESCO can't handle truth.
Ben ,   Free World   (01.18.14)
17. Maybe Obama told them to do this!
Reader ,   Land of Israel   (01.18.14)
After all, his name is Barack HUSSEIN Obama!
18. Arab bullies
(01.18.14)
Arabs, with their land mass, their 22 nations, their oil, their weath and influence vs. teeny tiny Israel. You got it - Arabs the goliath bullies vs. tiny Israel. Shame!!!!
19. #11
Harold ,   USA   (01.18.14)
Moses is the one who created and mentioned PROMISSED LAND so that Jews follow him otherwise they would have stayed in Egypt.
20. #15
Harold ,   USA   (01.18.14)
Do you know that this evil organization named the United Nations created the state of Israel. Leave the UN if you are against their policies.
21. #3
Harold ,   USA   (01.18.14)
Pulling out from this useless organization named the UN that created Israel is the best idea.
22. Can't handle the truth, eh?
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.18.14)
Arabs simply can't accept the fact that Jews and their ancestors were there before anyone else and that God gave them that land to live on. Oh well.
23. At times the feeling is indeed that the world is all against
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (01.18.14)
us, Jews, as it has been for centuries. But Mr. Kerry, along with his boss, Mr. Obama, want us to bow further down and expose ourselves to the ill intents of those eager to bring about Israel's demise and the "cleansing" of the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people of its Jews. And, Mr. Kerry is a friend.....
24. It is great that the world is starting to
Ordinary American   (01.18.14)
isolate the zio-nazi country. All products from israel should be banned from USA. Just my feeling and the members of the American Legion.
25. #13
Harold ,   USA   (01.18.14)
Arabs' population is almost 700 Million and the Jewish population is 13 Million and that is the reason one of the ten recognized laguages at the the UN is Arabic. So UNESCO prefers to listen to the Arabs.
26. #20 harold
DavidR ,   USA   (01.18.14)
By saying that the UC "created" the State of Israel, you are insulting the only true Creator of the Universe. And you call yourself a Christian? Don't you think you should read the Book from page 1 and find out who is the True Creator of the State of Israel? Just keep dancing around your golden calf harold.
27. Close unesco no need this biased organisation
Dr Daniel mostrel ,   Paris France   (01.18.14)
And shame on EU members to say nothing,France doesn t take my money for this infamy
28. # Lydia
eli ,   Yerushalayim   (01.18.14)
The E in UNESCO stands for Educational & the C for Cultural. To show the connection of a people to a land has to do with education and culture. The organization refuses to meet its self-imposed targets, for fear of the Arab states that deny the historical facts. The UNESCO deprived of its raison d'ĂȘtre.
29. To Lydia in Occupied Australia.
Joe Bliksem ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (01.18.14)
I would love to visit "your" lovely country. Please inform me if I still need a criminal record to get in. Also , did you know that your baby Jesus was born to a Jewish mother AND father....no matter what they tell you...and yes, he was born in the land of Israel. ( I can assure you he didn't look like a Bondi beach surfer as well when he grew up....probably more like my Rabbi here in the land of the Jews).....and to top it off he was born in Bethlehem......which wasn't ocuppied by any so called "Palestinian" at that time.
30. Give me a break . . .
Mike ,   NZ   (01.18.14)
Of course the Arabs would prefer to have it cancelled . . they are busy rewriting history ... they have adopted the policy that if you repeat a lie often enough then hopefully people will start believing it . . isin't that right Lydia . . just like the history of the Abo's in Australia that have been treated so disgustingly (and still are). So Lydia ... Please tell us when did the Palestinians become an entity ... was Jesus a Palestinian ? . . I think not, did the Palestinians lay the foundation stones of Jerusalem . . I think not, did Palestinians write the dead sea scrolls ... I think not, time to give up the wacky dacky Lydia . . .
