Israel turns to Vatican for help at UN
INN ^ | 10/13/16 16:33 | Gary Willig

The government of Israel has taken the unusual step of asking the Vatican for help in preventing a UNESCO vote denying any Jewish connection to the Temple Mount or the Western Wall. […]

Israel’s Ambassador to the Vatican, Oren David, contacted Antoine Camilleri, the Vatican’s Undersecretary for Relations with States to ask that the Vatican work to convince UNESCO’s member states to vote against a Palestinian initiative which would refer to the Western Wall and Temple Mount by their Arabic names and only use the Hebrew terms for the sites in quotation marks.

Israel has tried to make the point that such a resolution would harm Christian interests in Jerusalem as well as Jewish interests. …

If there is no Jewish connection to the Temple Mount (aka Mt Moriah, where Abraham offered his son Isaac in sacrifice) then there is no Christian connection, either

Islamic “tradition” holds that Abraham offered Ishmael and not Isaac.

The UnitedNazis are a meeting hall of the enemies of USA ( and Israel and free peoples everywhere). The new Vatican under the new communistic Pope ( alas! Please pray for the church) has now invited the islamonazi enemy to keep invading and taking over Europe, so it won’t help Christians or Jews anywhere. Even in the holy land. Jerusalem, forget about the UN. It’s a lost cause. Hopefully Donald Trump can at least get it out of USA

The only real history that we have on the Temple Mount is not from the Johnny-come-lately Musselmen. It is in the Bible, and it is about Abraham and his descendants through Isaac to Jacob. Let the Vatican urge that UNESCO be required to read out loud in public 1 Kings 6 and 1 Chronicles 28, which was over 1,500 years before Mohammed. Hebrews have been there a long, long time. Islam has no claim to the Temple Mount, especially when based on flying donkeys.

Remember when Israel could turn to us?

It’s hard to believe that once upon a time it was one of our best allies.

Wow. This is mind-boggling.

Israel turns to the Roman Catholic church for assistance. Considering the persecution, torture and slaughter that the Jews have endured for hundreds of years at the hands of the "holy" church of Rome, the irony of this situation is positively monumental. Talk about making a deal with the devil...

Somewhere in hell, Torquemada is laughing his ass off.

The current narrative amongst the SJW hipsters, who support BDS/IAW is that all of today’s so-called “Jews” are fake imposters, i.e. the ‘AshkeNAZI’ Khazars, and that the ‘real’ Jews all died out long ago and/or were all converted to Islam. So, now that that particular narrative has been widely accepted (as has the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, which has been rescued from the historical trash heap, dusted off and given a new coat of paint), the next phase is to ‘remove the lies of the AshkeNAZI Khazar fake ‘Jews’ from Occupied Palestine’...

...And here we are.

The left is always going to call God a liar.

(The left also includes Islamic Socialists, who represent about 99.9999999 percent of Islam.)

If those bastards pass this resolution, then Israel should simply pull out of the UN.

By doing this, the UN is saying that Jews have no connection to Israel, and thus that Israel has no right to exist.

How do you stay in the same room with people who don’t recognize your very right to BE? Other than being in the same room to kill them before they kill you, I can see no reason.

For literally thousands of years, Torah said something else. Every Apostle died a violent death except John, for the Christ they witnessed perform miracles and raise the dead. He rose from His grave and walked among men for 40 days before ascending to Heaven. Islam says Isa, their name for Jesus, was just a prophet and not the Son of God. To explain His resurrection, They say He was never killed. The Jewish conspiracy gave Him poison on the cross and gave Him the anecdote when taken down and placed in His tomb. They can't explain the appearance of Jesus after His Crucifixion any other way.

To allow Mohamed to destroy the Truth, thousands of years after witnessed FACT is ridiculous. It's time to call out this false religion and uncover the provable lies they tell.

I know that
Thank you

But the point is the UNESCO action recognizes ONLY the muslim version and ONLY the muslim religion as having religious significance at that site- mostly the muslim story about muhammed riding his horse creature Buraq to heaven from the very rock atop Mt Moriah on which Abraham attempted to sacrifice ISAAC millennia before then, according to my religion, and that of hundreds of millions if not billions of others, thank you

I have been there and seen the rock, which now sits under the Dome of the Rock

So what does that say about the Christian and Jewish beliefs? It’s not just the JEWS being disrespected and disenfranchised

If the muslims get this site they will block access to it and destroy any archeological evidence of the history of the site that doesn’t conform to their relatively modern religion

Then they will go after all of Jerusalem, in which this is the center

Very possible that Israel is offering the Vatican a deal it can’t refuse. Israel likely knows stuff the Vatican needs kept confidential.
