Due to recognition of Palestine as a state. Has nothing to do with Obama, it was already a law. Indeed, one of Hillary's people has already mentioned wanting to talk to Congress about overturning that law. Sigh. The United States will not pay $60 million to a U.N. cultural and educational agency after it voted Monday to accept the Palestinian mission as a full member, triggering a U.S. requirement to cut off funds. "We are not going to be able to continue contributing to the budget," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. "Palestinian membership as a state in UNESCO triggers longstanding legislative restrictions which will compel the United States to refrain from making contributions to UNESCO." Washington is required by law to cut off funding to any U.N. agency if the Palestinian Liberation Organization is granted membership in any group at the international body. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization voted 107-14 with 52 abstentions on Monday granting Palestinians full membership in the organization. The U.S. voted against the nomination. Eighty-one votes of the 173 UNESCO members were needed for full membership to be approved.

This is a UN agency....therefore the entire UN is just as guilty. Why not cut off ALL funds to the UN and then withdraw as a member.

It just pisses me off that the Palestinians can get away with all the crap they pull.

The only reason they do, is because the Israelis are the ONE nation and people who will not wage total war on their adversaries. Israel could annihilate the Palestinians, and arguably should have years ago. For obvious reasons, they won't.

Why is it the world gives them a complete pass on this? It�s like everyone just conveniently forgot how we got �Palestinians�.

Israel could annihilate the Palestinians, and arguably should have years ago. For obvious reasons, they won't. And every day rockets land on Israeli towns while we hold them back from retaliating. How much longer is that going to last? The citizens in those towns are getting pretty upset with the IDF for not taking action. Sickening. Ed

Couldn't agree more. The UN is a monkey on our back. I believe we'd be a much stronger country without that monkey.

Breezed through it. What I took away was, it's not "fair" that cultures that thrived continue to, uh, thrive? Well, g-o-l-l-y!

It wouldn't be hard. We are over 60% of the UN.
