Despite US Opposition, Palestinians Seek UNESCO Membership

[Hamadm6311611]

The Palestinians MUST go through UNESCO and the UN because the terrorist state of Israeli continues to build settlements, which only proves that they do not want peace. Why would anyone, who calls themselves a member of UNESCO, react so bitterly toward the legitimization of a real culture and contribution to the group? I'm sick of the games, as are the Palestinians.

bull crap Israel got statehood through the UN now it is Palestine's turn.

AHAHAHAHHA! SO VOA goes and pick an analyst from the AMERICAN ENTREPRISE INSTITUTE, known to be a piece of conservative think tank! Amazing. How about VOA giving the word to some organization who thinks otherwise too?

Thank you Unesco this is democracy , stop the propaganda from zionists

[Obasiliasfilosofos]

Palestine does not need Israel or U.S permission to get statehood,Anymore then Kosovo needed Serbia's. The colonization of the occupied territories & continued spread of Jewish colonies in the west bank gives them no other choice but to act now, Israel is using the west bank settlers as part of a strategy of covert forced displacement.

@Obasiliasfilosofos agreed. how the jews, who have spent decades infiltrating USA and its global influences have been outdone by Palestinians who thankfully have used their heads and sidelined the zionist trash. they must be spitting blood knowing the Palestinians have managed this despite all their best efforts to continue to suppress. congrats to all those who voted for the Palestinians, and who rapturously applauded this vote.
