Palestinian submit bid for statehood at The United Nations

[SOBY]

Aid? From western world? Why can't the A'rabs help them? Do you see the problem is from same arabs who can't even help their fellas. It is shame and sad for arabs to look for aids from Kafirs.

You know iot's hard to get in to Gaza!!.... remember the mavimara!.. the flotilla that was raided?

PARIS (Reuters) - Palestinians moved a step closer to full membership of the U.N. cultural agency on Wednesday when its board decided to let 193 member countries vote on admission this month.
The latest move in a Palestinian quest for statehood recognition drew a swift rebuke from the United States and Israel, which both argue that the way to create Palestine is through negotiations, and a cool response from France.
In September, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas applied to the Security Council for full membership of the United Nations, ignoring a U.S. warning that it would veto the move, as well as threats from members of the U.S. Congress to restrict American aid to the Palestinians.
At UNESCO, the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 40 representatives of the 58-member board voted in favor of putting the matter to a vote, with four -- the United States, Germany, Romania and Latvia -- voting against and 14 abstaining, a source at the agency told Reuters.
That set the scene for a membership vote at UNESCO's General Conference, a meeting that runs from October 25 to November 10 and involves all 193 members of the agency, based in Paris.
It also raised questions about whether Washington might be required by U.S. law to cut off funding for the agency if it were to accept the Palestinians as a member. The United States pays 22 percent of UNESCO's dues, the State Department said.

U.S. CONCERNS
The maneuvering at UNESCO also angered U.S. lawmakers.
Kay Granger, chairwoman of the House subcommittee that oversees foreign aid, said U.S. funding for UNESCO could be cut if full membership was granted.
"Since April, I have made it clear to the Palestinian leadership that I would not support sending U.S. taxpayer money to the Palestinians if they sought statehood at the United Nations," Granger said in a statement.
"Making a move in another U.N. agency will not only jeopardize our relationship with the Palestinians, it will jeopardize our contributions to the United Nations," said Granger, who recently held up some $200 million of aid for Palestinians.

What is the size of Gaza strip? Maybe we can give them something in Tanganyika. There is a free land in Tanganyika.

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa linaloshughulikia Elimu, Sayansi na Utamaduni UNESCO limeibuka na kuunga mkono jitihada za Mamlaka ya Palestina kuweza kupata uwanachama wa kudumu wa Umoja wa Mataifa UN.
[/h]

Uungwaji mkono huu unakuja wakati ambapo Marekani yenyewe imeshatangaza kutumia kura yake ya turufu kuzuia Palestina kuweza kuwa mwanachama wa Umoja wa Mataifa licha ya mataifa mengine kuunga mkono hatua hiyo.
Rais wa mamlaka ya wa Palestina Mahmud Abbas alifikisha ombi la kutaka Palestina ipewe uanachama kwenye mkutano wa 66 wa baraza la usalama la Umoja wa Mataifa. Kabla ya kufikia hatuwa hiyo kiongozi huyo alipata misukosuko kutoka mataifa kadhaa ikiwemno Marekani kumtaka aachane na mpango huo.
Licha ya vitisho hivyo, kiongozi huyo wa mamlaka ya wa Palestina alikataa kubadili kauli yake na kusema kuwa hawezi kuwa kigeugeu, na kuwakilisha ombo hilo lililoungwa mkono na mataifa mengi.
