| [israelTimes] Washington retakes membership of body amid concerns China is filling the vacuum it left behind when it quit over alleged anti-Israel bias. The Biden administration has requested $150 million for the 2024 budget to go toward UNESCO dues and arrears. The plan foresees similar requests for the ensuing years until the full debt of $619 million is paid off. That makes up a big chunk of UNESCO’s $534 million annual operating budget. Before leaving, the US contributed 22 percent of the agency’s overall funding. Israel has long accused the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... of anti-Israel bias. In 2012, over Israeli objections, Paleostine was recognized as a nonmember observer state by the General Assembly. The Paleostinians claim the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip — territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War — for an independent state. Israel says the Paleostinians’ efforts to win recognition at the UN are aimed at circumventing a negotiated settlement and meant to pressure Israel into concessions. The US previously pulled out of UNESCO under former US president Ronald Reagan’s administration in 1984 because it viewed the agency as mismanaged, corrupt and used to advance Soviet interests. It rejoined in 2003 during George W. Bush’s presidency. |

| #6 So you want information on UNESCO funding, say for 2021. Here's what you get: "Contact us In order to obtain information about our ongoing partnership projects, specific cooperation possibilities and modalities or inquire on how to become a partner for the conservation of World Heritage, please contact us." Transparency, eh wat? |

| #4 Ref #2: Trump was right. Right about the wall, China, Supreme Court Justices, crude oil production, and UNESCO as well. |

| #3 And the niagra of money to the corrupt friends of the Puppet Show continues, with the graft undoubtedly flowing right back through the Dark Money cutouts. |

| #2 UNESCO has long been the playground of a unified Marxist-Islamist arrangement. Trump was right. The Congress can block this payment, if it has the guts. |

| #1 The LSD's, while calling the followers of the US Constitution and Trump supporters Nazi's. The Liberal, Socialist Democrats actually are the ones actively using National Socialist Brown Shirt Tactics, and are engaged in a increasing Anti-Israel and Jewish agenda. |
