The United Nations General Assembly has voted in favour of granting “new rights and privileges” to the state of Palestine, paving a pathway for full UN-member status.
At Friday’s emergency session at the 49th meeting of the UN General Assembly, 143 countries voted in favour of upgrading Palestine’s status at the United Nations, with nine voting against and 25 abstentions.
Israel and the US voted against the resolution.
Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said on Monday, that if the measure was approved, he expected the US to cut funding to the United Nations and its institutions, in accordance with American law.
Like seriously. Rip it up with your hands like a person. Put some vigor into your vigorous denouncement.
To bring up a tiny shredder to tiny shred things is basically a farce.
