So, turns out Palestine has been accepted into UNESCO quite unanimously (107-14). Not long after this the US pulled their funding from the organization (about $80 million annually, aka 20% of UNESCO's entire funding) lol. As a result of Palestine's acceptance into UNESCO, they can enter WIPO, WHO, IAEA as well as 13 other UN organizations.

Israel called the vote a "unilateral Palestinian manoeuvre which will bring no change on the ground but further removes the possibility for a peace agreement".

Nah this place was torn apart over a bunch of islamic and islamic leading students posting vile anti-semitic shit. Discussion of Israel's foreign policy without invoking muslim tropes about the jews goes down fine.

ugh. this just shows how disgusting the USA and Israel are in their treatment of Palestinian people and how they chuck a hissy fit each time they don't get their way. It's also encouraging to see just how many states are favouring Palestine. About time the world woke up and sees what Israel is all about!

Probably only favouring Palestine because they don't want to piss off the Arab oil princes though.

no not really, if anything, they wouldn't want to piss off America who has just gotten rid of their funding and if you read up on it, you'll see how increasingly disillusioned the world is becoming with Israel.
