UN Overwhelmingly Approves Raising Palestinian Flag

The United Nations voted in favor of allowing the Palestinian flag to be raised at its headquarters in New York.

Unsurprisingly, the resolution passed with an overwhelming majority, with 119 countries voting in favor, 8 voting against, and 45 abstaining.

Among the countries that voted against were Israel, Canada, and the United States.

The draft resolution presented last week to the General Assembly would allow the flags of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and of the Holy See to be hoisted alongside those of the 193 member states.

Both the Vatican and "Palestine" have non-member observer status at the United Nations. But while the Vatican has largely supported the PA and even the concept of Palestinian statehood, it has vehemently and repeatedly opposed the PA's inclusion of the Vatican in its fight to have the flag raised in the UN.

The UN now has 20 days to implement the move, which would be in time for a visit by PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas on September 30.

Had to do something to celebrate 911, and flying a small plane into the building just wasn't in it. Budget constraints, you know. So they agreed to raise a terrorist flag instead.

Maybe the GOP should make it official and give them nukes.

May as well raise the ISIS flag. Morons, all of the UN.

Well, this is a puzzle piece of things to come. Not that we are surprised.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Other steps to celebrate 9/11:

1. Raise the Israeli and American flags and burn them;
2. Have CNN run a beheading video marathon, from Daniel Pearl to Boy Who Wouldn't Bow; call it Islamica's bloodiest Home Videos;
3. On CATV: Replay sanitized videos of 9/11 events over and over and over, with commentary about how it was really America's own fault;
4. Have exhibit in UN main lobby of pics of blown-out busses in Jerusalem from first and second intifadas;
5. Holiday sale on UN Charter toilet paper.

Palis didn’t cause 911. Saudi Arabian citizens did.

[Eleutheria5]

But they were the first to celebrate it.

"For behold, in those days and at that time when I shall reverse the captivity and restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there will I deal with and execute judgment upon them for their treatment of My people and of My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations and because they have divided My land."
