Unfortunately. the strong opposition from the media and many Western governments has not dissuaded UNESCO from going forward with plans to implement the proposal. Taking swipes at Israel is another favorite exercise in the United Nations. Last spring. a bloc of Arab and African nations attempted to have Israel disinvited to an international conference aiding African refugees after a formal invitation had been extended by the conference organizers and accepted by Israel. Only when the United States threatened to boycott the conference was Israel finally allowed to attend. A group that is particularly adept at using the United Nations for purposes in opposition to the United States best interests is the Palestine Liberation Organization.
