Are the Palestinians an Occupied Nation?



No they are not...and they should be defunded!



Laws? – We don’t need no stinkin’ laws!
(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration’s envoy to the United Nations argued on Capitol Hill Tuesday that defunding the United Nation’s cultural agency because it admitted “Palestine” hurts America’s interests more than it does those of the Palestinians.


Appearing before the House Appropriations’ subcommittee responsible for foreign operations, Susan Rice was questioned about the administration’s fiscal year 2013 request for $79 million for the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.


She described UNESCO as “essentially an anti-extremist organization,” saying that it does “essential work, from girls’ education to tsunami warning, that serve U.S. interests.”


“It’s not in our interests for these critical programs to go without 22 percent of U.S. funding.”

Just months after defunding UNESCO last fall — in compliance with U.S. laws dating from 1990 and 1994 – the administration is now seeking a waiver to enable it to resume the funding in coming months.

If we get Rice out of there, it would make one hell of a difference...Michael Savage for UN Secretary!
