Signs of good progress to arrest militant Zionism and downright racism in the holy land! One of the PA's rare but appreciated good moves.

Education in violation of Oslo. No culture. End of story.

Abbas and his Fatah thugs want this as their victory. This isn't a victory for Palestinians. He won't commit to peace but he wants us to form a country? I am to be married in three weeks. Am I to raise my children in a country thats at war with Israel? I don't want that. Work on peace and ending the corruption first, then talk about a state. We don't need 60+ more years for war.

The UN has long outlived its original purpose since it represents an Arabist voting bloc and does not reflect true world opinion. UNESCO by inventing politically-motivated historical narratives has renounced its credibility. It should be dismantled or merely renamed OIC or something similar.

And it's time about we start doing something again those who say that been recognize as state won't harm the peace process, but the less thing they want its negociate and sit in a table to discuss the matter.

Is to foster education and preserve the cultural assets. This body shall have to adapt to palestinian standards: an education with a single purpose: raising children to hate jewish dhimmis and destroy their existence through martydom, an archaeology whose only program is to destroy any evidence of the millenary jewish presence in Israel.

What is the point of negotiating with Israel? One only has to read the posts here to know without doubt that Israel will never agree to a Palestinian state. Maybe US funding to Israel should be halted.

will UNESCO check the history of Rachel's Tomb and other similar places or they just except whatever the palistinians ask or say UNESCO should ask the palistinians to show thier history books

As for the Us - less than 1% of our GNP, so what? Our economy would improve without US aid. Not much of a threat, nor is some Australian in position to tell the US what to do with their own money.

to establish a state, A state establishes itself on the basis of well-defined criteria in international law. It must be capable of governance over all the territory it claims, be able to carry out international obligations related to issues such as humanitarian norms and have viable institutions of government. That the P.A. would even come to the UN claiming to be a state while unable to do anything about a rival Palestinian faction, Hamas, which held an Israeli citizen hostage in Gaza, is an example of how Abbas' govt. controls the state it is claiming,

In the General Assembly Abbas will easily get the numbers but in the Security Council unless sufficient members vote against then Obama will have to use the veto which will destroy the image of a friend of the Islamic world which he has worked so hard to build up ( at Israel's expense ). Overnight Abbas, the man who Obama wanted to be a friend to will have destroyed all Obama's credibity and all that sucking up to Muslims will be for nothing. As for UNESCO the US should encourage its allies in the EU & elsewhere to vote against because it will only make a bad situation worse. when UNESCO start declaring every Jewish holy site to be a mosque as they did with Rachel's Tomb despite the fact that Rachel is not even an islamic prophet. The Muslims already claim the Kotel to be an Islamic holy place because they claim its where Mohammed tied up his horse. Just watch UNESCO claim the Kotel actually belongs to the Muslims and is of no significance to Jews. Its time the US stopped funding the corrupt UN institutions like UNESCO & UNRWA anyway considering they never do anything thats in America's interests anymore than they do anything that's in Israel's interest... all they do is waste money.

UNESCO supported arab complaints when Israel began the digs at David's City, but ignored Moslem dumping of Jewish artifacts when they expanded Solomon's stables.

Can someone please recount for me exactly what educational, scientific and cultural contributions to civilization and mankind have been made by the ersatz "Palestinians?"

You are the one who has to be joking. How many wars started by the Arabs must Israel win before the point gets through? How many decades of terror must Israel combat before the point gets through? How many bites at the apple should the ersatz "Palestinians" be granted before it becomes clear that they are not interested in peaceful co-existence with Israel, but rather in supplanting Israel? Six wars and seven decades of terror have been more than enough. It is time for the ersatz "Palestinians" to disappear from the world stage. They've played their last card .... and lost. Sometimes, it just really sucks to be an ersatz "Palestinian."

If UNSECO accepts the Arab Palestinians as a state, the US will withdraw from UNSECO and cut all funding - this is US law. Congress will see to it that this law is enforced.

Hamastan in Aza or AbasLand?

Forget about UNESCO. They're just another bunch of imbeciles like the so-called Palestinians who are nothing more than a bunch of Nomads from the Zaharan deserts somewhere. The so-called Palis were washed up and out at the time of Abraham. Read the Bible. They never were heard of again until the tribes got together and decided they were "Palestinians"... Palestinians, my ass! Nothing more than nomads from all sorts of strays!

Arabs vote in Israel and are represented in the Knesset. An arab judge sits on the supreme court. Israel has Muslims, Jews, Christians, Vietnamese. These include Jews who were thrown out of arab countries. Abbas has stated that any "Palestine " will be judenrien. Hamas' goal is to kill all the Jews. Who is the racist? (Hint: it ain't the Jews.)

for a perspective we don't always hear from someone from Ramallah. May your wishes come true very soon.

ach! hang them out to dry!

I am glad to read that you are laughing your ass off. You'll be doing it from Amman or Gaza City soon enough, of course. Jolly good!

The Israeli government has voiced support for the two-state solution many times. Hamas stated goal is to annihilate Israel and kill all the Jews. Abbas has shown he agrees with this concept and has also stated that any "Pal" state will be judenrien.
