Why does the US supply 20% of the budget of an organization with 170 members. As it can clearly be seen in this instance, its not like the US's vote is any more powerful then any other nation's in the UNESCO, so it should be funding 0.5% of the organization. Countries complain and complain about the US trying to influence the world but instantly accept any assistance given to them.
While I'm all for a two state solution, this doesn't help with anything. I guess its a symbolic victory, but the price is too high. It will only set back current negotations, because it will embolden Palestine.
