    US has plenty of money to pay UNESCO. If they need more they'll print more.

    Then the US government needs to print more to pay off the national debt, but such would cause the dollar to become worthless and UNESCO would then use it to make paper drinking cups or recycled toilet paper.

    All three. Do the Palestinians offer post-graduate training in bomb making, rocket launching and suicide bombing?

    Post-graduate suicide bombers are extremely rare.

    Once you use up all of the women, children and the dregs that populate Gaza then I'd reckon they'll turn to the post-grad suicide bombers.

    Ah, a bit of competitive peeing. OK, my money's on the Gaza dregs to kick the asses of your dregs.

    Considering the large number of "asses" which populate Gaza, it would seem an appropriate venue for the first international dreg ass kicking contest.

    Such comments are in need of some education, science and culture. If you live in American then maybe America needs to become more involved in UNESCO to better challenge problems at home. Denying Palestinians the right to be engaged in education, science and culture only helps racists in America to blast them with racist hatred.

    Yes, that's correct. In 2003 President Bush decided that we should rejoin UNESCO.

    "The United States joined UNESCO at its founding but later withdrew in 1984 because of a growing disparity between U.S. foreign policy and UNESCO goals. After an almost twenty-year absence from the organization, the United States rejoined the organization in October 2003 in an effort to express America's firm commitment to uphold and promote human rights, tolerance and learning worldwide."

    The US foreign policy seems to be at odds with UNESCO goals once again ...

    Possibly, but I doubt that will affect our contribution to UNESCO.

    ' Your ' current contribution to UNESCO is to try to stamp on its neck.

    No, it's to deny validation to Hamas' terrorist front.

    Hamas is certainly a controversial group of hated Semites, but you'll find that not all hated Semites are Hamas. In fact, not even all Palestinians are Hamas. So, denying hated Semites education, science and culture simply because one unconditionally opposes the Semites that one generalizes against, is more something that America used to fight against. Has America thus somehow become led off of its original track?

    No, we haven't. We oppose terrorism and Hamas is a terrorist organization which has the avowed intention of destroying our ally Israel.

    Ah, you don't want UNESCO to recognize Palestine because some Palestinians violently object to being occupied by European invaders. Makes moral sense in the rubber room, I suppose.

    Only a terrorist organisation in relatively few countries though! :mrgreen:

    Wasn't the USA the country that had still had Mandela on a terrorist watch list in 2008?

    And wasn't the USA the country that never classified the IRA as a terrorist group at all?

    So what does the USA know about anything?

    Your 'ally' thinks you're a bunch of easily manipulated and gullible useful idiots. The leader of your 'allies' is on record as saying so.
    How long would a 'friend' who speaks about you like that remain a friend?
