The Palestinian Authority filed paperwork with the United Nations requesting entry into eight global treaties.
And the United Nations, ever the anti-Israel body, is considering the requests.
If approved, this move would give the “Palestinian” people more voice in U.N. affairs, as well as more legitimacy with global leaders. And remember: The Palestinian Authority is led by a man who just went on an angry, anti-semitic rant against the Israelis — the latest in his ongoing angry, anti-semitic calls to wipe the Jewish state off the face of the map.
Giving Mahmoud Abbas more influence on the world stage is not good for America, not good for Israel.
And yet, the United Nations is seriously looking at applications that give him a larger presence, a louder voice in international politics.
The Algemeiner has more:
The Palestinian Authority has filed official requests this past week to join eight international treaties, including the UN’s International Convention against Apartheid in Sports and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty according to a report in Israel’s Hadashot news.
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon said the latest attempt by the PA to raise its status within the international community and delegitimize Israel is a campaign to “establish facts on the ground by making detours and unilateral moves.”
In April 2014, the PA applied for membership to 15 international treaties, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Fourth Geneva Convention and the UN Convention Against Corruption. Then UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon accepted the Palestinians entry into 10 of the treaties as non-state members. PA leader Mahmoud Abbas has vowed to apply to 22 international treaties, including 18 of the United Nations in December 2017, following the official recognition by US President Donald Trump of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The most recent applications were reported just a day after the UN Human Rights Council adopted a slew of five resolutions in condemnation of Israel, including one which called on Israel to give the strategic Golan Heights to civil war-torn Syria. All of the resolutions were presented under “Agenda Item 7” by member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
Israel is the only country that has a permanently dedicated agenda item at the council.

it’s mohammad’s will. even in USA people are already being jailed for criticying islam or bringing bacon into mosques, just like in saudi arabia or iran.
Quran > USConstitution
Islamic way of life > American way of life
mohammad > george washington, king arthur, william wallace
western civilization as you know it is over, gone, kaput. welcome to the new islamic era of the world. Islam will be part of your daily lifes years after years, decades after decades, century aft……..
I don’t know who you are but I do know what you are. That will suffice.
Lives spent in societies the product of Western culture are preferable to slavery in the guise of religion.
You will end your life as an animal in a cage, despised by everyone, with nothing to look forward to except your execution.
She is being sarcastic, she does this all the time.
piss-lam will be wiped off the face of the earth. it is written…..
Quran < dog sh-t Islamic way of life = path to Hell mohammad : see above
“legitimacy”, Abbas and tha PA are the bastard children of the ME. F- ’em.
F- pisslam.
I cannot remember when that ranting arm waving lunatic stood at an election last, does he have a democratic mandate or is he one of those “leaders” serving the twelfth year of a four year term.
Drop something into his drink.
The u.n is totally irrelevant, a useless waste of time and money, by looking at palestine as a member, a non existent people in a non existent nation with no common anything other than hate to bind them, the u.n.makes itself look even stupider than normal.
It is time the US invite the UN to leave the country, because the US cannot correspond to the special level and needs of the other members and therefore are not appreciated.
Teheran or Riad, Kuala-Lumpur or Islamabad, Kairo or Rabat may be much more convenient and matching to the level of the members.
Of course US wouldn’t continue to financially contribute, since the US is not appreciated at all and it is a question of honor not to continue offending the UN by offering money.
I don’t think the PA is ready for any acholades. Damnation maybe. As it is now they are a bunch of savages
