Simple. I won't eat French Fries. I won't French Kiss. I won't look at pictures of French women. I won't...








Waitaminute. This isn't turning out like I thought.

I still don't understand why membership in the UN is not up to the UN General Assembly.

Well I do understand but I don't agree with it.

Once again the UN shows to be as hilarious and untrustworthy as possible. By its own statutes and rules the UNESCO is not legitimised to accept anyone/anything as a full member that has no unsidposuted status as a soverign nation. What a spoverign nation is, usually has four criterions that most political theoretists agree on: there must be

1- a closed social communal cultural entity (=population, people) claiming to be a nation
2- a clearly defined terrain that said grouip claims to be its national soil
3- sovereign ruling over and control of that soil
4- and international acceptance and recognition

The Palestinians have 1), they have a roadmap to be negotiated for 2) but refuse to do so, they definitely do not fulfill 3), and 4) is only partially fulfilled as well since some nations accept them as a nation, others don't, but formally the UN has not recongised them as a nation for the time being.

So the Palestinians by the statutes of the UNESCO are not qualified to demand full membership in the UNESCO, and the UNESCO does not have the legal right to recognise them as full members.

But hey, it is the UN. Every bad hallucination is possible to turn into reality here - especially on behalf of pro-Islamic distortions.

I like that Obama Big Mouth, who in the not so long ago past said he would solve the Middle East issues within one year, is brought into a Catch-22 by this.

I'm surpised by the Germans. I would have sworn that German foreign caspar Guido Westerwave would have followed the French example at the very last second - and jump onto the Palestinian rodeo cow.

I wish we would also stop sinking our money into the UNESCO. But that would hurt our tourist UNESCO titles, which are so very dear to us, and it also is not kind behaviour.

Unfortunately - yes. Women who neither bathe nor shave. It seems they all moved to the region where I live and have taught the local women the same "earthy" traditions...

BOOOOOO!

Eh, they clean up well enough. If you want real female funkyness nothing beats a good old American hippy chick.

The Palestinians never wanted autonomy under the Jordanians. This thing started with Arafat, and I believe it really is just one more way to "get Israel".
You should know well enough that that simply isn't true Steve. Palestinians issues with the Hashemites taking over started the day Abdullah didn't go to Damascus.

I love how the US boycotted this, and still want a peaceful solution in the region ending (as they see) in a two state situation. This shows, yet again, the US do not want peace in the region.

Superb German comment from Der Tagesspiegel: Palästina rast mit Volldampf in die Sackgasse.

Yes, and I meant to indicate that it is in German when saying "German comment". Maybe I picked a wrong phrasing to indicate that. Sorry.

Interesting, given that even the European Union classifies Hamas as a terrorist organization. Perhaps the French believe that the enemies of peace should be placated at all costs. Wouldn't be the first time they've thrown in the towel.
