UN organization declares Israel 'occupying power' of Old City, denies Israeli sovereignty.

UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee passed a resolution condemning Israel for its policies in the Old City of Jerusalem Tuesday.

Ten member states voted in favor of the resolution, three voted against it, and three states abstained.

The resolution refers to Israel “the occupying power” in its capital and denies Israel's claims to the Old City and eastern Jerusalem.

The wording of the Jordanian-sponsored resolution was softened compared to a similar resolution which was passed in 2016, with references to the Temple Mount removed. However, the resolution explicitly denied Israel's sovereignty over parts of its capital for the first time.

The text of the resolution states that UNESCO “regrets the failure of the Israeli occupying authorities to cease the persistent excavations, tunneling, works, projects and other illegal practices in East Jerusalem, particularly in and around the Old City of Jerusalem, which are illegal under international law.”

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon condemned the vote.

There is no such people as a Palestinian, they are from Syria , Jordon , Egypt , Iraq and Arabia . They are the murderous , covetous invaders. The UN is now run by a voting block of 57 muslim countries bent on stealing Israel's land . God has other plans though and the people that side against him and against Jersalem are going to be consumed .

We need to kick the UN out of the US . They do nothing for us but take our money and do mischief with it . We need to kick to them all out of the country.

[Rurudyne]

Anything past the third sandbar into the Med.

UNESCO is at it again , see article.

(Zechariah 12:2) Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

(Zechariah 12:3) And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

(Zechariah 12:4) In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

(Zechariah 12:5) And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

(Zechariah 12:6) In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

(Zechariah 12:7) The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.

(Zechariah 12:8) In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

(Zechariah 12:9) And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Ouch ouch ouch
6000 years of archeological history right under the streets of the city and a nearly unchanged written and spoken language ( Hebrew) in caves and carvings all excavated

But the Jews are occupiers?

[onedoug]

Eff the un and their families.

How much longer?

[faithhopecharity]

We need to kick the UnitedNazis out of America...(and Isarel needs to kick the UnitedNazis out of Israel too). Hopefully, the UnitedNazis will, like the sick weed it is, wither and die. But if it continues, at least we need to get it the hell out of USA (where it also serves as a conduit for thousands of enemy spies getting into USA under “diplomatic visas” from Moslem and Communist countries seeking our destruction).

[ssaftler]

Can you imagine how the deficit would drop if we were to stop funding the United Nutballs and started charging them to use our territory for their nefarious ends?

Better yet, we could turn the U.N. buildings into affordable housing for veterans and other citizens to whom we owe a great debt.

[Rurudyne]

Just wait till they condemn Muslim presence is Christian and Classical civilization North Africa!

[shalom aleichem]

abolish the UN!!!!!!

[Telepathic Intruder]

Same old U.N. Why wouldn’t Jerusalem belong to Israel? Is the U.N. only counting the last 50 years of world history, and ignoring the thousands of years that Jews have lived there?

[stylin19a]

I don't get it.
16 votes. There are 21 members on the World Heritage Committee:

Angola, Azerbaijan, Burkina Faso, Croatia, Cuba, Finland, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Tunisia, Turkey, United Republic of Tanzania, Viet Nam, Zimbabwe

Israel never had a chance.

[beethovenfan]

Jerusalem is forever Jewish. Screw UNESCO.

[Meadow Muffin]

Antisemitism at work again. The UN is laughable. If they spent as much time doing something that needs to be done, then they do trying to de legitimatize Israel, they might be able to do something useful...instead, they kiss each others ass to make themselves feel better. Get the UN out of the US and get the US out of the UN.

Bears Repeating

There was an Israeli state in the land of Israel 2000 years before the evil prophet of Islam allegedly flying on a "magical horse" from Mecca to Jerusalem.

• * There was an Israeli nation in the land of Israel.
• * There was an Israeli kingdom in the land of Israel.
• * There were Israeli kings in the Israeli kingdom of Israel.
• * There was an Israeli capital in the kingdom of Israel.
• * There was and there is an Israeli essence.
• * There was and there is an Israeli heritage.
• * There was and there is an Israeli culture.

  The “Palestinians” are Arabs who were brought to the region by the Ottoman empire as part of the Muslim occupation in the region. They are definitely not the tribes from Crete who settled down in the 5 cities of Gaza strip after the Exodus of Israel from Egypt. These tribes were called Philistines and they weren’t Arabs at all and today’s “Palestinians” are definitely not their descendants. The Philistines don’t exist as a nation.

  Israel isn't just a name of a state. It's first and for all a name of a nation (Am Yisrael). Israel is the name of the father of the nation (Jacob) and Israelis are his descendants. The real meaning of the word 'Israeli' is someone who belongs to the nation of Israel and not only "a citizen of a state called Israel".

  Gentiles invented the word ‘Jews’. When the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans occupied the land of Israel they called all the Israelis in the name 'Jews' because at those days the tribe of Judah was the biggest and the dominant tribe which survived the exile of Assyria in which 10 tribes of Israel were exiled. The tribe of Judah lived in the Judean desert thus the gentiles who occupied the land of Israel called the members of this tribe (and also the ones of Benjamin and Levi who joined it) in the name 'Jews'.

  When Israelis (Jews) who live abroad go to synagogue they don't read about Jews in the prayer books nor in the Torah but about 'The Nation of Israel', 'The Children of Israel', 'The House of Israel’,'Shema Yisrael' etc. They are Israelis because they belong to the nation of Israel even if they aren't citizens of a state called Israel. Both the words 'Jews' and 'Israelis' refer to nationality, to ethnic identity and not to religion. Jews are members of the tribe of Judah and not "people who believe in Judaism". And the nation isn't called Judah but Israel, and so does the land and in the future the 10 tribes will return to this nation.

  That's why Arab citizens of Israel don't define themselves as Israelis but as Arab/"Palestinian" citizens of a state CALLED Israel. They aren't members of the Israeli nation but of the Ishmaelite nation. Ishmael used to shoot arrows at Isaac (father of Israel) while saying: "I'm only playing..." That's why there's no "Israeli-Palestinian conflict" but a WAR that the Ishmaelite/Arabs opened on the Israelis. Also Muhammad murdered Israelis in Saudi Arabia who refused to accept his murderous pagan dream.

  Couple of facts about Israel that the haters of Israel don't like:

  1. Israel became a state in 1312 B.C., two millennia before Islam.

• 2.Arab refugees from Israel began calling themselves "Palestinians"in1967, two decades after (modern) Israeli statehood in 1948.
• 3.After conquering the land in 1272 B.C., Jews ruled it for a thousand years and maintained a continuous presence there for 3,300years.
• 4.The only Arab rule following conquest in 633 BC lasted just 22 years.
• 5.For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem was the Jewish capital. It was never the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even under Jordanian rule,(East) Jerusalem was not made the capital, and no Arab leader came to visit it.
• 6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the bible, but not once is it mentioned in the Qur'an.
• 7. King David founded Jerusalem; Mohammed never set foot in it.
• 8.Jews pray facing Jerusalem; Muslims face Mecca. If they are between the two cities, Muslims pray facing Mecca, with their backs to Jerusalem.
• 9.In 1948, Arab leaders urged their people to leave, promising to cleanse the land of Jewish presence. 68% of them fled without ever setting eyes on an Israeli soldier.
• 10. Virtually the entire Jewish population of Muslim countries had to flee as the result of violence and pogroms.
• 11. Some 630,000 Arabs left Israel in 1948, while close to a million Jews were forced to leave the Muslim countries.
• 12.In spite of the vast territories at their disposal, Arab refugees were deliberately prevented from assimilating into their host countries. Of100 million refugees following World War 2, they are the only group to have never integrated with their co-religionists. Most of the Jewish refugees from Europe and Arab lands were settled in Israel ,a country no larger than New Jersey, USA.
• 13. There are 22 Muslim countries, not counting Palestine. There is only one Jewish state.
• 14. Fatah and Hamas constitutions still call for the destruction of Israel.
• Israel ceded most of the west bank and all of Gaza to the Palestinian authority, and even provided it with arms.
• 15.During the Jordanian occupation, Jewish holy sites were vandalized and were off limits to Jews. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian holy sites are accessible to all faiths.
• 16. Out of 175 United Nations Security Council resolutions up to1990, 97 were against Israel; out of 690 general assembly resolutions,429 were against Israel.
• 17. The U.N. was silent when the Jordanians destroyed 58 synagogues in the old city of Jerusalem. It remained silent while Jordan systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, and it remained silent when Jordan enforced apartheid laws preventing Jews from accessing the temple mount and western wall.
• 18. Arabs started all five wars against Israel, and lost every one of them.
• If you consider Palestine to be a “Sovereign” and “Independent” country that goes back through most of recorded history as many would have you to believe, then a few questions need to be answered: •When was it founded and by whom? •What were its borders? •What was its capital? •Who was the President? •What was its form of government? •What were its major cities? •What constituted the basis of its economy? •Who was the Palestinian leader before Yasser Arafat? •Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? •What was the language of the country of Palestine? •What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine? •What was the name of its currency and what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, or Japanese yen on any particular date? •And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?

Most all are Jordanians but Jordan refused to take them initially and definitely won't take them now, yet pretend to be comfortable with Israel.

Got their bottoms handed to them in the 6 Day war, even with all the other Arab countries pitching in to "drive the Jews into the sea!"

[castlegreyskull]

One day these nuts are going to try and do something about this. Their beat down will be the most epic in history.

[reg45]

Israel liberated the old city, it is not an occupying power.

Of course. If Muslims wanted Jews in the Jewish Quarter, they wouldn't have had Jordan throw them out after three millennia. Now the Judenrein 19 years is expected to determine the future.
