#2 I wasn't trolling - why the redacted crap?

The palestinians want membership of Unesco to get their heretic site into some global protected list.

Its Israel, Bethlehem is ours. If we want to destroy the heretic's church, it is our right. You or Unesco aren't going to stop that.

IsraelForTheJews: you're a hateful, hate-mongering asshole who in the end is no different from the Palestinian terrorists you despise.

That's why you were sink trapped.

Now go away.

#5 article says, "U.S. legislation stipulates that it can cut off funding to any U.N. agency that grants full membership to Paleostinians."

nope

the 1990s legislation requires the funding cut off

#6 That would hold, Lord Garth, if were were under 'rule of law' - that is not necessarily so under Emperor Obama who has demostrated time and again that he will rule by decree and simply ignore any law which he finds inconvienent.

#7 crazy

I was looking at this some more. The law has various bits of fuzziness, e.g., about how quick funding is to be cut off. As you imply, Obama will likely use all possible ways to slow the funding cut off or to compartmentalize it to reduce the scope.

#8 Cut funding from one area and they'll just slush it over from another. Unless you cut funding to the entire UN operation you've done nothing.

#9 I'm ready to listen to Rick Perry. Let's discuss ending all U.N. funding.
