This really makes me mad!

Keep funding UNESCO. If anything cut the money we give Israel so that they are no longer able to bully and steel more and more land. But if we cut the money to Israel, their lobby will cut the $ to our politicians and we can't have that.

The majority of the world supports a palestinian state. "The UNESCO membership bid, which required approval by two-thirds of the agency’s General Conference, passed by a vote of 107 to 14, with 52 abstentions".

"Today’s reckless action by UNESCO is anti-Israel and anti-peace" - rep Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) -Anti Israeli policy does not automatically mean "anti peace".

[edit] I wish God would come down to earth and tell all the nut jobs of the 3 big monotheistic religions that really the birthplace of their religions was in Antarctica. -Let's see how much they fight over geography then.
