UN General Assembly backs Palestinian bid for membership

The United Nations General Assembly on Friday overwhelmingly backed a Palestinian bid to become a full UN member by recognizing it as qualified to join and recommending the UN Security Council “reconsider the matter favorably.”
The vote by the 193-member General Assembly was a global survey of support for the Palestinian bid to become a full UN member - a move that would effectively recognize a Palestinian state - after the United States vetoed it in the UN Security Council last month.
The assembly adopted a resolution with 143 votes in favor and nine against - including the US and Israel - while 25 countries abstained.
It does not give the Palestinians full UN membership, but simply recognizes them as qualified to join.
Under the founding UN Charter, membership is open to “peace-loving states” that accept the obligations in that document and are able and willing to carry them out.
“As long as so many of you are ‘Jew-hating,’ you don’t really care that the Palestinians are not ‘peace-loving,'” Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan, who spoke after Mansour, told his fellow diplomats. He accused the assembly of shredding the UN Charter - as he used a small shredder to destroy a copy of the charter while at the lectern.
“Shame on you,” Erdan said.

Doesn't have to be Babylon but I agree the U.N. needs to be relocated to another 'neutral' county. P.s. the myth about Babylon might have been Jewish propaganda.

Who should get out of the U.N.? The U.S.? You understand that the moment the U.S. gets out of the U.N., the Security Council would put a ton of sanctions on Israel and probably also a no fly zone over Gaza. And maybe even a U.N. force to protect the Palestinians in Gaza. Watch out what you wish.

How can a region that’s never been a state or country be a UN member? Just a legitimate way of funneling money to Hamas and the Palestinian authority otherwise known as Hamas

Because this would legitimize them as a state which would give the civilians rights.

You can find HUNDREDS of documents, maps, and letters from a century or more ago calling that piece of land Palestine. The Israelis had a big problem with that, so they just decided to pretend it didn’t exist. You are parroting that misinformation. And I’d bet you’re too indoctrinated to do any research of your own.
