We can use this UN vote to drive a wedge between the United States and the United Nations. If the UN starts to support a Palestinian nation, you will see a firestorm in America against the UN and it'll be our job to steer that anger into the United States getting out of the United Nations.

This is our chance.

A week of Washington speeches calling on the Palestinians to abandon plans to take their search for statehood to the United Nations seems only to have increased the likelihood of them going down that path.

Observers in Ramallah say addresses by U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have left the peace process in a deeper hole than before, and see no alternative to going it alone for the Palestinian leadership.
...

With the peace process at a standstill, his plan to seek U.N. recognition of Palestine in September has been criticised in Washington by both Obama and Netanyahu over the last week.
...



Support H.R. 1146, The American Sovereignty Restoration Act. This proposal terminates the United States' participation in the United Nations. (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.1146:)


The United States is currently engaged in another unconstitutional and undeclared war in the Middle East. President Barack Obama explicitly cited a United Nations resolution as his source of authority to wage war in Libya. This acquiescence to the United Nations is and has been for many decades the excuse the U.S. government uses when it wishes to involve itself in regime changes or changes in the form of government in many countries around the world.

H.R. 1146 would terminate all U.S. participation in the UN, repeal the UN Headquarters Agreement (which would leave the UN no offices along the East River in New York), stop all appropriations of U.S. taxpayer dollars for the organization, and most importantly, end the United States’ participation in any agreements or conventions with any UN organ, body, or agency or commission. H.R. 1146 is the best vehicle to Get US out! of the United Nations.

But do you really think that our representatives would vote for HR1146? Especially the democrats?

Republicans tend to be Pro-Israel and if they feel the Muslim nations have hijacked the United Nations or feel the UN betrayed Israel, they would Vote to Withdraw from the United Nations.

I'm cynical. The US regime is one of the founding members of the UN. TPTB would lose a lot in the way of using the UN as an instrument for US imperialism. It'd be nice if this happened though. A good step towards dismantling the American Empire.

I was thinking the same thing, but while this will pass the general assembly, the USA will veto it. there is only one way to get Palestine into the UN. and that would be for the general assembly to give the Israeli seat to Palestine (as they did in 1971 with Taiwan's seat)

It cant hurt for more people to be upset with the UN. And the more the UN does the more people they will piss off. All you have to do is look at any decision and find the dissenting population in american and bring it to their attention.
