Israeli soldiers patrol the Temple Mount in Jerusalem
UNESCO, the United Nations committee responsible for “cultural understanding,” has given preliminary approval to a resolution that denies the documented historic Jewish connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
The vote was 24-6 with another 26 nations abstaining. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately condemned the resolution as “the theater of the absurd.”
The proposed resolution, submitted by seven Muslim nations under the title “Item 25: Occupied Palestine” refers to parts of the site by the Muslim terms, “Al-Aqsa Mosque” and “Haram al-Sharif” and emphasizes the historic and religious significance of the site to Islam, but simply ignores evidence of Jewish history at the same site.
The document refers to Israel throughout as “the occupying Power” and accuses it of “aggressions and illegal measures” at the holy site.
UNESCO “firmly deplores the continuous storming of Al-Aqṣa Mosque/Al-Ḥaram Al-Sharif by Israeli right-wing extremists and uniformed forces, and urges Israel, the occupying Power, to take necessary measures to prevent provocative abuses that violate the sanctity and integrity of Al-Aqṣa Mosque/Al-Ḥaram Al-Sharif.”
The resolution also condemns Israel’s construction work in the Western Wall area by referring to it by its Muslim name “Al-Buraq Plaza,” a reference to the mythical unicorn that transported the prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem.
In reality, Muhammad never set foot in Jerusalem or the Temple Mount.

“... 26 nations abstaining.”
Abstention equals consent.
Go, Trump, GO!
That’s right....a cult like contraption. There’s no art form to it.
And I suppose Mecca is not Islamic.
How many tank divisions does the U.N. have?
Typical Muslim chauvinist bluster.When they conquer they deny the history of anything which they conquered. ‘67 should have been the end of that Muslim desecration on the Temple Mount.
#16. It is the black stone from “2010, the Space Oddity”.
It is telling the world that you can have any place but that Moslems must have Europe.
I hope President Trump invites ( orders) the U.N. to vacate New York .
Perhaps South Africa would be a good location for the new venue ?
Anywhere but here . Enough already .
Can’t we get a couple of million Americans to just surge on the place and gut it ?
Somalia is even better.
yep , let all those UN pricks cruise around in their fine cars in someone else’s country . See how that works out for them . We need to kick that organization the hell out . 100%
How many did they have in Korea or Vietnam?
US out of UN.
The UN has lost touch with historical truth and reality.
HEAR, HEAR!!!!!
Their only project for the last forever has been Israel bashing and coming up with ridiculous pronouncements like the Temple Mount is not part of Israel. The Muzzlimes took bulldozers to the Temple Mount and attempted to obliterate any Jewish artifacts to destroy evidence that it's Jewish. The Temple Mount Project (which I proudly participated in when I visited the BEAUTIFUL state of Israel) is recovering archaeologic artifacts from the midden heap where the Muzzlimes threw them, mixed in with trash:
God is going to be surprised when He hears this.
bkmk
Israel's "right to exist" is always mentioned in conjunction with some "UN resolution", and almost never in terms of Genesis 12:3 or Genesis 15:13.
Of course, if the "UN" has the power to give land to the Jews, then the "UN" must also have the power to take it away and give it to someone else. What will all those who are constantly bleating "Resolution 171, Resolution 242" say when "Resolution 666" evicts the Jews from Palestine?
Israel has the same right to exist that the US has to the Dakotas - as long as they can take it, and hold it, it's theirs.
funny you say that
MY GRANDMOM says that exact event
will begin WW III
they will rebuild the temple on the mount
I say the UN delegates have no right to their building in New York. we should give it to American Indians to make a casino/hotel
