I never said that I have something against Israel!
I like Israel!
Albanians are fighting with Russia not Serbia.
Serbia same as Albania can't compare with Israel. Israel is a world power that can change the world balances while we are insignificant. We are chees pieces on others hands. Both of us!
And honestly I would like that my contry being Israel friend not Israel enemie, I know what Israel is able to do. I really admire them! Really! They are great people!

@avni - what about Albanian war criminals? Can they be part of UNESCO?
(, 14 October 2017 20:37) -
Good move. Israel said it will do the same. By the way if Serbian war criminals can be in Unesco then to hell with Unesco.

dear joni,
you narrative doesn't fit with colonel Peter Kukulj's assessments of kosovo. but that's not really topical.
from what i could gather you're trying to equate serbia to isreal somehow in response to the usa acting like a petulant child when they don't get their way.
well, lets be clear here. serbia is no way comparable to isreal when it comes to matters of democracy (a historical perspective has nothing to do with this topic, sure, both serbia and isreal make territorial claims that are based around genesis), however serbia is a new democracy, a learning democracy. america is one the oldest democracies in the world and can't handle democratic results, as we can clearly see here.
however, it is unclear as to why you're being particularly prejudiced towards isreal? i realize your rants against serbia, but what have you against isreal? do you not believe that kosovo is unique, its not palestine? if so, what does serbian vote for palestine have to do with anything regarding this topic? or are you perhaps feeling a bit uneasy about this uniquness concept, and noticing striking similarities elsewhere, and well, if isreal can hold palestine down, you might worry that if global political tides shift (and they always do), kosovo might be held down by serbia under the same pretense?
i don't know what your beef with isreal would be, but alas this is an article about america leaving unesco over palestine for isreal, not about serbia and kosovo.

Hahaha, this cracked me up! You Serbs are such losers. Holding down the fort that sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Good job, good job, Serbia. Now that the US that was paying 30% of the costs is out, you'll see the rest of the countries bolting out of the door.
Now please tell me, dear Serbs, did the USA and Israel just became non-countries, because they are no longer part of UNESCO?
(You YugoTurds, 12 October 2017 19:48)
No Alboarsewipe they did not become non-countries but the US needs to cut costs and what better excuse mate LOL.

you are totaly brainwashed and seems you donot understand anything.
the empire of this world (USA) is no longer a unesco member. you will see time by time every european state and much more states will leave unesco.only dictator states will remain members such as north korea,iran LOL unesco has become now totally useless. this is great news for kosovo now kosovo does not need unesco membership anymore. 100:0 for the Republic of Kosovo this made my day. thank you USA!

The State of Palestine was also voted into Interpol. I wonder if the US will withdraw from there? Somehow I think not.

(You YugoTurds, 12. oktobar 2017 19:48) ,,,,,,, Your information is as dumbed-down as your moniker. The US has not financially contributed to UNESCO since 2011. Their lack of financial support has not caused UNESCO to fold six years on. No one cares so the US is having another temper tantrum.

Good riddance. Those who assess wealth beyond simple monetary criteria, will realize the appreciation in UNESCO's value.

i find it humourous how the self-appointed, self-anointed, and self-declared champion of world democracy can't handle it when democracy contravenes their dictatorship.
palestine was voted into unesco, and because usa can't handle not getting every vote to go their way, they're gonna take their ball and go home.
(iron knee, 12 October 2017 21:00)
Now, I wonder what Israel will do?
Wasn't Serbia same time before who told that Jerusalem is for Israel what Kosovo was for Serbia?
Even thought we all know that in Kosovo never lived Serbs more than Albanians...
And Serbia voted for Palestine! 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
Now, tell us the moral of the fable on Serbian stile, please!
I just don't wait good things in Balkan with all the mess created.
All I know is that Israelits are dangerous and vindictive people, and don't forget easily.

dear 'You YugoTurds', i think you might wanna check the bottoms of your feet, because you've kinda stepped in it.
unesco is not un.
so usa and isreal being or not being part of the unesco organization has nothing to do whether or not usa and isreal are countries.
a country is determined either through declarative, or constitutive theories, but international recognitions of said declarations come not from within, but from outside. it is other countries, and specifically organizations of countries that determine if the country is recognized. it is that very recognition that makes a country a country.
unesco is an education, scientific and cultural organization. no where in there does it allude to engine or recognition.
i suspect your handle simply should have been turd, but i'll let you mull that one over

There goes Kosovo's sponsor.
(Navi, 12 October 2017 15:37)
Navi, it was the largest UNESCO sponsor!

- With this (propaganda) move the US loses the opportunity to defend Israel when needed.
Apart from this, Washington regards itself as 'friend and saviour of the oppressed' -- in this case the Palestinians...

Good decsion. Bad reason. Last time this happened they, and others, left because UNESCO was corrupt and inefficient. It is still inefficient.
