US PRESIDENT WANTS SPECIAL WAIVER FROM CONGRESS TO FUND UNITED NATIONS AGENCIES THAT RECOGNIZE PALESTINE

Allen West - April 2, 2014 - The Obama administration is requesting Congress allow it to support UN agencies that recognize and admit "Palestine" into the body.
 
Palestine is a region, like Appalachia, not a definitive country. It does not have an indigenous culture, currency, or language. If any ethnic group should have their own country, it should be the Kurds. With such an action, Obama administration would undermine Israel and support the establishment and recognition of Palestine, regardless of the security ramifications for Israel.
 
When the U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2011 became the first U.N. body to recognize "Palestine," the Obama administration reluctantly cut the funding and UNESCO lost 22 percent of its operating budget.
 
This time, the administration has not included a funding request for UNESCO, but the fiscal year 2015 request includes "conditional transfer authority should the waiver be enacted." "The ability to make such contributions is essential to advancing U.S. interests worldwide and strengthening U.S. global leadership, influence, and credibility," says the Obama administration.
And how do US taxpayer funds to UNESCO advance our interests and strengthen our global leadership, influence, and credibility?
