US condemns UNESCO over Palestine vote |
Washington stops payment of $60 million in annual funding to UN heritage body after it admits Palestine as full member.

This is why people don’t like you, America.

Fucking hell. Why?

Dear My Country,

Stop being a petulant child.

Sorry to those upset by this, but objectively speaking, this makes sense to me. You can’t really expect that if the US makes a stand and an action is done to contradict that stand, they just shrug and go “well, I guess it’s okay”.

And similarly, you have to admit, that’s the UNESCO “picking a side”. Do you think that if the whole world says “We choose Palestine”, Israel will just shrug and go “oh, okay then, at least we tried”? No. So IMO there’s logic in the US wanting them both to settle it themselves first.
