This is as outrageous as it is ridiculous. How can “Palestine” lead the biggest bloc of developing countries when it isn’t even a country? Nor is it developing: it has no industry, no production of anything other than genocidal Jew-hatred and jihad violence. This is yet another example of how the UN is no longer committed to anything but condemning and harassing Israel.
“Palestinians win UN backing to lead developing country bloc,” i24 News, October 16, 2018:
The Palestinians won backing Tuesday to lead the biggest bloc of developing countries at the United Nations, raising their profile at the world body despite opposition from the United States.
Story continues below advertisementThe General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to grant the observer-state of Palestine temporary rights to act as chair of the Group of 77 plus China, a bloc that has grown to 134 countries at the United Nations.
A resolution drafted by Egypt was adopted by a vote of 146 to 3 with 15 abstentions. The United States, Israel and Australia were the only three countries to oppose the measure in the 193-nation assembly.
US Ambassador Nikki Haley branded the decision a “UN mistake,” recalling that the “Palestinians are not a UN member state or any state at all” and should not be granted privileges reserved for full-fledged members.
“Today’s UN mistake undermines the prospects for peace by encouraging the illusion held by some Palestinian leaders that they can advance their goals without direct peace negotiations,” said Haley in a statement.
The result came as no surprise as the G77 had agreed last month to give the Palestinians the chair and could easily garner enough support in the General Assembly to win approval for the measure.
The resolution gives the Palestinians, who take up the year-long chair in January, additional rights such as the authority to submit proposals on behalf of the G77 and request that they be put to the vote.
The measure does not, however, change the status of the Palestinians, considered a non-member observer state at the United Nations without voting rights at the General Assembly….

Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. See how long it lasts without the USA.
The UN has become a clown organization that is destructive of peace. Place the worthwhile activities of the UN under a different umbrella organization.

Trump did pull out of the U.N. Refugee program. The U.N. is nothing more than a global people trafficking business. Their plan is to level us all down, so there is no where to go. Poverty and violence will be where ever you go. They want a one world government to then control it. They have the WTO (World Trade Organization) this is supposed to settle trade disputes. The International Criminal Court is used by the EU that sits in The Hague in the Netherlands. While there is no outright International Human Rights Court, the do have something similar in place. So far the U.S. has not capitulated our sovereignty. They do get around our Constitution through treaties.
International human rights law (IHRL) is the body of international law designed to promote human rights on social, regional, and domestic levels. As a form of international law, international human rights law are primarily made up of treaties, agreements between sovereign states intended to have binding legal effect between the parties that have agreed to them; and customary international law. Other international human rights instruments, while not legally binding, contribute to the implementation, understanding and development of international human rights law and have been recognized as a source of political obligation.

Of course the elites will not live with the mess they created. Life will be good for them and pure hell for the rest of us. The U.N. peacekeepers are nothing more than murderers and rapists and will remain that way.

The sooner the better that after this new U.N. insanity Trump kicks the dis-United Nations out of the United States, for symbolic reasons quickly demolishes the U.N. building and then leaves the resulting heap there for a while (with a Christian Cathedral built alongside to celebrate the victory) and other than for its own U.N. mission defunds anything that eventuates.
Canada’s ding-dong-bell Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, would quickly volunteer to have the U.N. re-established in Ottawa (with Canada rewarded with a permanent seat on the utterly useless Security Council), the Canadian parliament building surrendered to the U.N. and this then in fact Canada’s parliament as part of the U.N. one-world government

“How can “Palestine” lead the biggest bloc of developing countries when it isn’t even a country? Nor is it developing: it has no industry, no production of anything other than genocidal Jew-hatred and jihad violence.”
The sneaky assumption is Palestine is a country. They have no history, language or culture. The Palestinians are parasites and do nothing for themselves. Compare the Palestinians to Israel since 1948. Look at what they have done with their country and economy. Palestinians have no industry and totally dependent on aid, remaining uncivilized and impoverished by choice! They still claim to be “refugees” . Since 1948 they have claimed that status. So for 70 years they have taken aid from the U.S. to be “refugees”. They should have moved back to Syria, Egypt, Lebanon where they came from. These are Muslim countries but they won’t do that and now Muslim countries don’t ant them either. The Palestinians will settle for nothing less than destroying Israel and other Muslim countries want that too!

Please refrain from referring to this collection of Egyptian and Jordanian Arabs as Palestinians. Doing so only perpetuates the misconception that Palestine was at one time, or is now, a sovereign state.

I’ll have you know that these Arabs who some called Palestinians, do have industry and do produce things. They constantly build bombs and rockets, and they build tunnels leading underneath the Israeli border. These worthless parasites originally came out of Arabia in 634AD, their forefathers invading the Levant round 636 and 837AD after first over-running then Byzantine-ruled Syria.

No real reason to hate Jews. But only proves there is a SATAN who rules this present age. Again, no real reason to hate Israel, but every reason to hate Palestinians who want WAR.

Another reason for the US to get out of the UN and to kick the UN out of New York.

This vote outcome is not surprising. Consider that the muslem along with the muslembrotherhood controls most of the “un”. I hope America continues to vote AGAINST the muslem controllers.

Where the hell was Canada in this vote ? Prime Minister Trudeau and his government is so far left they are in bed with communists, socialists and the Canadian lefties ! So I’m guessing his believing this is a good idea shouldn’t surprise. It does fit in with his love affair with Islamism !

You can bet that Canada supported this action. Just earlier this week Justin-ass pledged $32 million to a UN organization that supports the Palestinian Arabs, but Justin-ass cannot find anything remotely equivalent for Canada’s wounded veterans.
