| Hizbullah Slams U.S. 'Racism' in Vote against Palestinian UNESCO Seat |
| 2011-11-03 |
| [An Nahar] Hizbullah has congratulated the Paleostinians on winning UNESCO membership, slamming the United States as "racist" over its decision to vote against the move. "Hizbullah congratulates the Paleostinian people on gaining full UNESCO membership, which is their natural right," the Shiite group said. "The United States' decision to vote against this natural right... reflects its historic policy of racism... as well as its support for and identification with the Israeli enemy." Paleostinian membership in the U.N.'s cultural arm, which comes as they seek to become a full United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... member state, was approved Monday in Gay Paree despite strong opposition from the United States and Israel. Angry U.S. officials said Washington was withdrawing its share of UNESCO funding, which amounts to almost a quarter of the cultural body's overall budget, and warned of a "cascade" effect should other U.N. bodies follow suit. Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's liquidation. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too. has also hailed Paleostine's entry as a full member of UNESCO. He said the diplomatic victory "constitutes the first result of the long and painful struggle of the Paleostinian people, and the first step of the brave initiative last month to obtain full recognition" at the U.N. |

| #4 Neither is 'Palestinian'. It is a political invention of the U.N. and Arab countries which did not exist prior to (I believe) 1948 or so. |
