this is not what we are

It's been a couple of days and I still can't believe my country voted against Palestinian membership in UNESCO. Despite the fact that both the majority of my countrymen and Parliament support Palestinian state building, and contrary to the wishes of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, our right-wing government decided to vote against membership. If they also oppose Palestinian membership in the UN later on, which seems more than likely right now, I think I'll go bald from tearing my hair.
