The Palestinian Authority's admittance to UNESCO as a full member is an achievement Israel should be pleased with – or at least that's what Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erekat thinks.
"This is a victory for peace and a victory for the human race," he stressed while threatening: "Israel might find itself as the only authority from the Jordan River and to the sea". Palestinian officials have claimed that this is just the beginning.
Meanwhile, in Geneva the Palestinian envoy in Geneva said he believes that joining the UN agency for culture, education and science will "open the door" to joining 16 other UN agencies within weeks.
Ibrahim Khraishi told the Associated Press that Palestinian diplomats are now planning to capitalize on Monday's landslide vote to allow the Palestinians into UNESCO by preparing papers to join 16 other UN agencies without detailing which agencies were involved.
Israel has previously expressed concern over the possibility of the Palestinian Authority joining the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
I think a lot of third world countries voted in favor of this, not meaning it to be anti Israel.
However, I don't care. This will be used as a vehicle to remove the Jewish history from the worlds memory.
UNESCO will allow the Palestinians to rename Jewish locations as Muslim locations.
This is enough, forIsrael to remove UNESCO from our land.By this I mean from the river to the sea all land is Israel.
Then Israel must declare war and end this farce of the Palestinians Authority forever.
