דברים לב:כא

הֵם קִנְאוּנִי בְלֹא אֵל כִּעֲסוּנִי בְּהַבְלֵיהֶם וַאֲנִי אַקְנִיאֵם בְּלֹא עָם בְּגוֹי נָבָל אַכְעִיסֵם.

Deuteronomy 32:21

They aroused my jealousy with a non-god and provoked me with their vanities; I will arouse their jealousy with a non-people and provoke them with a vile nation.

The Gematria of "בְּלֹא עָם" a "non-people" or a "non-nation" is 143. (A well-known and accurate description of the "Palestinians")

As it happens, if they get in, the Palestinians will, [more accurately,] be the 143 member to join the UN following the original 51 founding members who founded it.

If you're into Gematriot, then you'll appreciate it, and you can then assume they're likely to get in.
