Slowly but surely this country's foreign policy is being "completely" taken over by the Neocon agenda.

How many enemies did we make of our allies when we denied funding to this respected organization that helps the most desperate people in obtaining fresh drinking water, and simple shelter for refugees fleeing disaster?

How callous must you be to support these Israeli neocons?

Mighty quiet in here, I guess you can't rant about Jon Stewart being anti-semitic so what's the point.

Default Israel

This is the theatre of the absurd, so now they will punish those in need becuase of this. Unesco supported literacy of Afghan soldiers, Tsunami warnings and we are pulling our support. Time to remove this ridiculous legislation.

This is beyond comphrension, how does funding for Palestine harm US interests, maybe Israel's but certainly not US interests and only harms the good work UNESCO accomplishes.

That was brilliant. I know it's comedy, but that is Peabody level of well done. Curious to see this thread so quite. Nah, just kidding! Not surprised at all.

Out of all of the things we can hate on the UN for it's ineffectiveness, UNESCOs education, cultural and natural preservation, and humanitarian efforts nearly validates their existence.
