US gives 'Palestinians' a pass on UNESCO
Republicans and Democrats in Congress have reached an agreement that will ignore the 'Palestinians' joining UNESCO and permit funding in 2012 so long as they don't join any other United Nations bodies. The proposed spending plan was released by congressional Republicans, who say it was agreed between Republican and Democratic appropriators as a spending plan for fiscal 2012. Their agreement has until now been kept secret.Of course, the 'Palestinian Authority' and the 'extremist groups' have the same goal - they just differ in how to go about attaining it.
It was unclear how soon a vote would be held, or whether details of the plan would change. Republicans are pushing for a vote as soon as possible.
The plan does not specify any particular amount of aid for the Palestinians for fiscal 2012, apparently leaving it to the Obama administration to set the level in consultation with Congress.
"The bottom line is that US aid to the Palestinian Authority can continue, which is good news," said Dylan Williams, director of government affairs at J Street, a liberal advocacy group in Washington that says a two-state solution is essential to Israel's survival.
J Street argues that continuing US aid to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank benefits Israel's security. "That is because the alternative to the Palestinian Authority being able to assist Israel in maintaining order, and provide basic services to the Palestinians, is for extremist groups like Hamas to deliberately destroy that order and take control of the West Bank," Williams told Reuters.
What could go wrong?

When have they missed an opportunity to bow down in front of the pals and to apologize with LOTS OF MONEY and/or weapons whenever they did not?
Does anyone remember that the Jerusalem Embassy Law was passed MORE THAN SIXTEEN YEARS AGO by the House with over 4/5 of the votes and by the Senate with 98/100, that is one of the highest approval rates of any law in Congress, yet it was NEVER implemented, to avoid displeasing the pals?
There's always a lot of friendly TALK in the US toward Israel, however when it comes to facts...Jewish blood is cheaper than oil...
To hell with " J Street". This is a shameful act by the congress. Can't wait to vote some of these bastards out.
