   UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -The United Nations General Assembly on   
   Friday overwhelmingly backed a Palestinian bid to become a full U.N.   
   member by recognizing it as qualified to join and recommending the   
   U.N. Security Council "reconsider the matter favorably."   
      
   The vote by the 193-member General Assembly was a global survey of   
   support for the Palestinian bid to become a full U.N. member - a move   
   that would effectively recognize a Palestinian state - after the   
   United States vetoed it in the U.N. Security Council last month.   
      
   The assembly adopted a resolution with 143 votes in favor and nine   
   against - including the U.S. and Israel - while 25 countries   
   abstained. It does not give the Palestinians full U.N. membership, but   
   simply recognizes them as qualified to join.   
      
   The resolution "determines that the State of Palestine ... should   
   therefore be admitted to membership" and it "recommends that the   
   Security Council reconsider the matter favorably."

   The State of Palestine is currently occupied by an entity which is   
   treating the Palestinian civilian population the same as the German   
   occupation forces treated the civilians of Belarus during WWII. Where   
   are the UN peace-keeping forces?
