(Commentary) Jonathan S. Tobin - While the vote at UNESCO went against Israel (24-6), more nations abstained (26) than supported the vicious assault on truth.

Ten nations that had voted for a similar resolution in the past abstained this time. The manipulation of UNESCO by the Israel-haters is a warning to the world that the Palestinian goal isn't really a fair-minded two-state resolution, but rather to deny Jewish rights and history and ultimately force Jews out of Jerusalem, if not the rest of the country. This effort demonstrates that Palestinian opposition to coexistence is a far bigger obstacle to peace than anything Israel has done. Much of the rest of the world is beginning to understand their true goal.
