Palestine to be recommended to UNESCO

China could fund UNESCO with its small change- but it doesn't want to humiliate America- yet . Arab States could too, but the old dynastic regimes are corrupted by submission to capitalism and usury. Perhaps Chavez will step up to the crease.

 

Have to say that is something I have never understood......why a world-wide entity like the UN is still so beholden to the USA.

In these days of modern communications and fast jets, where is there any longer a need to have substantial parts of a world-wide institution cheek by jowl in one country. That alone is bound to give the host country the impression that it is the most important country involved in it, simply because it is so involved.

The existence of the UN in the US is down to the fact that they were by far least financially damaged by WWII....not because the US was the best place for it. Over the years, the US has shown that it is definitely not the best place for it.....if only for the fact that the US seems to have such little regard for the principles of it.

 

Sure. Jerusalem is designated international territory. Perhaps that's a fine location once it can extricate itself from US of AIPAC domination.
Another alternative might be a purpose built ocean-going liner, along similar lines to that floating council estate for rich people that I've seen advertised.

 

Why does it all need to be kept together the way it is in any one place anywhere, though?

Why does the World Bank, the IMF and most of the UN Agencies have to have their main offices in the USA, for example..bar that was where they were founded when no other place had the money to support them.

Given the whining Americans do about paying the costs, and the threats about reducing funding for this, that and the other, then maybe it is time other countries took their share of UN, UN Agency, World Bank and IMF head offices?

 

That will come with America's decline . Of course, America might change course. These hundreds of thousands of street protestors must have an impact sooner or later.

 

Not a snowball's hope in hell....if a million UK punters out of a population of 66+ million couldn't stop UK participation in the war in Iraq, fat chance hundreds of thousands of protesters are going to have in a country with a population of 307million and ruled by the very businesses they are protesting against.

 

It's a toughie, ain't it.

 

Absolutely right. It isn't on just this issue where America not only displays jaw-dropping duplicity, but a clear bias. America should have no dealings in any negotiations which they can manipulate solely to their advantage.

 

The US government left UNESCO before and it looks like it will do so again, because it is horribly and terribly disgusted that Palestinians like science and education. I hear that once the US leaves UNESCO a second time, there will be no going back.

USA fights with hard, with its gloves off, against a Palesrtinian Unesco entry

If there was any doubt that the US regime is heavily bigoted and against peace, then all of such doubt has collapsed. The US position here contains no logic or reason and is nothing but extreme hostility. The US of AIPAC is showing its true colors.

 

America should leave UNESCO, and let it follow the path of the League of Nations.

 

Good........

 

Agreed. The US regime is not a global player, its position is heavily bigoted and it needs the money so that it can donate such to Israel. The US government needs to withdraw from all international matters so that it can focus on serving its master in Tel Aviv.

 

We agree on something. The US government is in no position to be sticking its fingers in foreign affairs. It's only duty is to do what Tel Aviv says.

 

America needs to keep its veto on the UN Security Council so that the UN remains paralyzed.

 

Don't forget the Mexicans. America does pretty much whatever Mexico tells it to do.

 

With time, the UN will figure out how to solve that problem.

 

The League of Nations never figured out how to deal effectively with America's absence. America's absence from the League of Nations made the league ineffective as WWII approached.

The UN can't take any effective action in the face of a veto by America. There is no way around that except for the UN to dissolve and reconstitute itself elsewhere. But that still leaves the League of Nations problem.

The problem for European internationalists is that without American participation the world order they seek can't become chaote. And American conservatives can prevent American participation in your dream.

 

At the going rate, the US of AIPAC will decline and become irrelevant and thus be of no interest or concern for the UN. Maybe Israel will be a veto power, but the US will only have one function, and that is to pay taxes to Israel.

 

OK, that's enough with the US of AIPAC hypocrisy, duplicity and blackmail. A law against recognizing Palestine ? A law ? And this is the country which was supposed to be an honest broker in negotiations ? This was the nest of duplicitous hypocrites which presented Camp David as a venue for justice ?
UNESCO should expel the US of AIPAC.

 

History tells us many things. One of those things is that when there is no hegemon, the era of generalized peace ends, and major wars follow as other powers struggle to fill the vacuum.

America's best bet is to avoid the wars that are coming to the eastern hemisphere.

 

How do the Palestinians like the Obama treatment?

 

You're wrong to persistently attempt to link Obama with this clusterphurk . Obama went into this with good intentions and got his ass kicked by AIPAC. That's right, a sitting US President is powerless to prevent a foreign power from orchestrating events in Washington. It's not Obama that you should be worrying about- it's what is lining up to replace him.

 

Obama had good intentions? The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

 

You can't even see Obama anymore for the threats and treachery which AIPAC has draped over him.

 

Things within America have their own dynamic. AIPAC doesn't operate at all levels in a country as unimaginably vast as America.
