Satmar Wins Big! Palestinian request to fly flag at UN passes General Assembly vote by landslide majority

The two Satmar brothers, who like the brothers Yaakov & Eisav, hate each other, will be unified in their Shalosh Seuda Toirelich to celebrate the raising of the Palestinan Flag at the UN!

There is no question in my mind that as they slurp majes herring and gulp  Malaga Wine they will have the time to slide in some anti-Jewish rhetoric before the Yoim Hadin!

Instead of taking a reckoning and having a little compassion for the 6.2 million brothers and sisters in the land that HKB"H gave us, they will most certainly rant and rave with bulging veins, their hateful  twisted ideas taken directly from Va"Yoel Moshe!

It's time to end this craziness, and realize that the State of Israel is a fact and that most of the Jewish people are very happy about that! 
Time to thank Hashem for giving us a country that you will be able to flee to, when the goyim in Monroe get fed up with your constant annexation of land and will because of your violation of the Biblical prohibition of Hisgarus B'eumois, chase you the hell out of there!

The UN General Assembly voted by a landslide majority on Thursday in favor of a Palestinian draft resolution to raise its flag at the United Nations.

There were 119 votes in favor out of 193 UN members. Eight members voted against the draft measure and 45 abstained.

The United States and Israel were among eight countries that voted against the Palestinian-drafted resolution, which says the flags of non-member observer states like Palestine "shall be raised at (UN) Headquarters and United Nations Offices following the flags of the member states."

Most of the 28-nation European Union were among the 45 nations that abstained, though France and more than half a dozen others voted in favor of the Palestinian resolution after the EU split on the issue.

Israeli envoy to the UN Ron Prosor spoke against the resolution in his last speech before being replaced by Danny Danon as UN envoy.

The resolution affects the Vatican as well, as it applies to all non-member observer states. The Vatican's chief delegate to the United Nations on Wednesday said it was unclear whether the Holy See would choose to fly its flag alongside the Palestinians' at UN headquarters if the draft resolution is approved as expected.

The draft resolution says the flags of non-member observer states "shall be raised at (UN) Headquarters and United Nations Offices following the flags of the member states of the United Nations."

Israel has urged member states to oppose the Palestinian draft resolution. UN diplomats say the measure is expected to pass given the widespread support Palestine enjoys among non-aligned developing nations, the largest bloc of UN members.

Initially, the Palestinians had presented their flag-raising initiative as a joint proposal with the Vatican, but the Holy See's mission quickly made clear it would not co-sponsor the resolution and asked that all references to the Vatican be removed.

Archbishop Bernardito Auza, the Vatican's permanent observer at the United Nations, ruled out the possibility that it would let its flag fly at the world body before Pope Francis' speech before a high-level gathering of the General Assembly on Sept. 25.

"We have no intention whatsoever to do that," he said.

Auza added that the Vatican did not co-sponsor the Palestinian resolution "because we have certainly different priorities." He said the Holy See was undecided about whether to allow its flag to be flown at the United Nations at all.

"Whether or not the Holy See in the future would raise its flag, that question is open," he said.

The Vatican and Palestine are the only non-member observer states at the United Nations.

Washington described the Palestinian flag initiative as "counterproductive."

While the United States and Israel are expected to vote against the Palestinian resolution, diplomats said the 28-nation European Union was incapable of reaching a unified position.

While most EU members will abstain, more than half a dozen EU member states - including France, Sweden and others - are expected to vote for the Palestinian draft, diplomats told Reuters.
