The Palestinian flag now flies over UNSECO as they have been recognized as a full member:

JPOST – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas attended a ceremony at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris on Tuesday for the first official raising of the Palestinian flag after the PA was admitted to the organization as a full member in late October.

“It is moving to see our flag raised and for it to be flying in this beautiful city of Paris among all the other states. This bodes well for Palestine becoming a member of other international institutions,” Abbas said. …

For Israel, the move was part of a concerted Palestinian campaign to bypass peace talks and achieve statehood through unilateral moves in UN bodies. Its UNESCO membership came on the heels of a failed bid for full membership in the United Nations General Assembly, which faced the threat of a US veto should the issue have come to a vote in the Security Council.

Rep. Allen west condemned the membership on his Facebook page today, saying it was a backhanded slap at the State of Israel:

UNESCO’s formal recognition of “Palestine” as a full member is a backhanded slap to the State of Israel. This action fully circumvents the peace process with Israel. I vehemently condemn this action. There is no Palestinian statehood without full recognition of Israel and a denouncement of Islamic terrorism.

      Speaking of Jerusalem, did you hear that Jews and Christians are again banned from going to the Temple Mount over fears of violence? http://www.bibleprophecyblog.com/2011/12/jews-christians-barred-from-temple.html

    I hope everyone remembers the Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, and Samantha Powers R2P, now that they are a recognized state they are entitled to the Right to Protection. I hope I am wrong!

      If they are a recognized state, Israel could declare war on them too, I would think.

        Yes, and that is my question, are the Palestinians now covered by that mandate, that we could be put in a position to side with Palestine over our greatest ally Israel.

        A part of my first comment was deleted, I accidently deleted the question of possibly a conflict where this administration would be compelled to side with Palestine over Israel. Sorry about the confusion, there was an American Thinker article awhile back I was reffering to but I can’t find it.

              Interesting. Thanks. They want to focus on Israel like a laser but ignore Syria? That’s some stomach-churning inconsistency huh? We really, really need a conservative administration. I will enjoy the banshee cries from the left when we once again wipe the floor with a lot more democrats. This job is a must accomplish. The world must hear the hue and cry from American Citizens striving to put things aright.

      That R2P thang was a Canadian invention from the Jean Chretien years when he was our Prime Minister in the early 90’s and it was introduced in the UN.

      Sorry… I had to get that off my chest… the guilt was just killin’ me. Now I can breathe easier with a clear conscience.

      Confession is good for the soul!

        Oh good grief- I remember him. Why is it that any Prime Minister from East of Ontario (namely Quebec) have to be pathetic?

    I can hear the laughter,the high-fiving, and the Yesssssses coming from the Whitehouse. And I live way over here in Illinois.

      Yes, it’s too bad for all the secret service agents around Pennsylvania Ave. If it weren’t for them, the high fiving and shouts for joy, they’d all be shooting their guns up in the air.

      The study of Eschatology is fascinating and quite difficult to fully comprehend , I try to keep in mind the parable of the thief in the night and live accordingly. Thanks for the links.

        I’m glad you appreciated the links, 4H.

        I think the parable of the thief in the night is powerful and if fully understood and embraced by the population would have a profound effect on mankind. Bravo to you to abide by it and live accordingly.

          Interesting reading. I find it surprising that most people believe that the pending middle east fireworks is preventable, only if we do something about it beforehand. However, it IS prophecy and will be fullfilled. All we can do is watch and prepare.

      It’s nothing we don’t already know, but it’s good to read in anyway.

    While I agree with Allen West on this, he was too mild- this wasn’t a slap, it was a kick in the teeth of Israel. The “palestinians” can enjoy this little victory for a little while, but in the bigger picture, they’re toast.
