The Guardian:

Israel is to expedite the construction of about 2,000 homes in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in response to the Palestinians' successful bid to join Unesco.

Israel also imposed a temporary halt on the transfer of tax revenues which it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority (PA) pending a final decision on whether to impose a long-term freeze. Israel collects about £630m a year in VAT and customs revenues which it passes on to the PA.

So what is new, Israel does what it wants and when it wants, knowing nothing can be done against it.
UN motions etc. don't mean anything regarding Israel. What is the point of the UN where the jews are concerned? no point whatsoever, thanks to America, who in the long run will be the losers.

And while The Huffpo conceals this story in the bottom pages(U.K), the U.S Huffpo makes sure not to give it any exposure at all, and the main stream media continues to 'lie by omission' i.e making sure it doesn't see the light of day in print or television. Israel, again, punishes millions of people for gaining recognition in a cultural body(while considering other measures of retribution), and the media stays silent, prefering to shower us with tabloid tales and celebrity gossip. Why? What kind of human-beings have we become? We are reprehensible.

How a tiny, illegitimate country which consistently breaks internal law has the most powerful country in the world by it's balls– (not to mention, voting against its own self-interest) is a mystery to say the very least...

I hate no one and no country... But I do detest injustice and tyranny.

So sorry, you'll have to come up with a better objection than that.
