You should watch the video! It highlights some of the other momentous occasions which have prompted Palestinian celebration!
There is no such thing as Palestine. Nobody cares what the UN declares except for a few terrorists. The US could save billions by withdrawing from the UN, throwing them out of the country and converting Dag Hammerskold Plaza into commercial retail and condos. The United Nations is as big an enemy to the United States as the terrorists.
You should watch the video, and look at some of the other things which the "Palestinians" have decided were celebration worthy; feel free to re post elsewhere.
Obama gave Palestine a Billion $ right after he took office... a few months later Israel intercepted a whole shipload of arms from Iran... that's where the money goes... Makes me want to work hard and pay more taxes.. no really...
In the same way as there was no such thing as the USA before the colonists claimed it, nearly wiped out those who were living there before the Europeans, and named it. Imagine you are living in a Police state, your land disappearing, your movements severely restricted, civil discussions ignored. What would you do. Defend yourself or accept it. Don't be such a scare monger. The UN is practically impotent.
Withdrawing from the UN would only make the world hate us more and increase terrorist acts against the US.
