It is highly unusual for an ambassador to ask his superiors to attack the very forum where he serves. But Israel's ambassador to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Carmel Shama Hacohen, has done just that, and he says he has no doubt that Israel must follow the U.S.'s lead and quit UNESCO.
According to Shama Hacohen, UNESCO has turned into a theater of the absurd, held hostage by the Palestinians and extremist countries. He accuses the institution of adopting political decisions that are unprofessional and borderline anti-Semitic.

Another exchange documented the practice by Palestinian activists of "anti-normalization," or a refusal to speak with or participate in ordinary conversation with those they believe to be pro-Israel.
A Palestinian female student is seen cutting off the discussion on Palestinian politics she was leading in a public hallway, when she noticed that a male student wearing a traditional Jewish skullcap and ritual tassels known as tzitzit had started to listen.
"You are not welcome into this conversation," she told him, prompting praise from other students on "the strength" it takes to "say that to someone's face."
A man, who said he was Muslim and supportive of the divestment motion, later approached the group and asked if his friend was sent away because he's Jewish.
"No, it's because he's Zionist," he was told.
She later instructed someone to tell the Jewish student that he is "welcome to ask permission to stand and listen and not ask questions."
Conditionally invited to ask permission to be an observer of the discussion, the Jewish student is granted permission to listen.
"You can’t ask me questions though," said the Palestinian student. "I’m not going to have a conversation with you. Those are my guiding principles."
The Palestinian student who steered the exchange could not be reached for comment.
The footage was taken on the night of the eight-hour student government meeting last week, during which student representatives debated and ultimately passed in a secret ballot vote the SAFE anti-Israel resolution. The motion asks the university regents to create a committee to "investigate the ethical and moral implications of our investments" with Boeing, Hewlett-Packard, and United Technologies, which are accused of being "involved in human rights violations against the Palestinian people."
SAFE leaders are also seen in the footage repeating the group's public stance that the resolution is not intended to harm Israel, even as the SAFE co-president then admits the goal is to "put economic pressure on Israel," and is aimed at "people in the government," naming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
It was the first ever successful divestment vote at the Ann Arbor campus, after 15 years of SAFE campaigning and 10 failed motions.
Hours after the vote, the UM administration released a statement saying it would not allow political considerations or the student vote to influence its investment decisions.
