This is unbeliveable!
Instead of Israel suffering sanctions from the UN, for its sistematic disrespect of United Nations resolutions, it's a UN agency, Unesco, that is going to suffer sanctions from the USA, in the name of the interests of Israel!!!!!!!!!!!
The world is upside down!!!
Israel OWNS the United States????
This is an unbeliveable attack against the United Nations, from the part of the US government, just to defend Israel's interests!!
Read the news:
The Obama administration has cut off funding for the UN cultural agency after its member countries defied US threats and approved the Palestinian Liberation Organisation's bid for full membership.
The vote to admit Palestine as a member of Unesco, which only the United States and 13 other countries opposed, triggered a long-standing congressional ban on US funding to UN bodies that recognise Palestine as a state before an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal is reached.
The State Department said a $60 million (£38m) payment to Unesco scheduled for November would not be made as a result.

I can't believe it's happening!
Instead of sanctions against Israel, sanctions against the United Nations!!!!
What is more important for the government of the United States: the United Nations, or just one foreign nation, named Israel?
So, will everyone remain silent?
How can the people of the United States accept such an absurd?
Where is the OUTRAGE?
Can't you see how this is ABSURD?
