GENEVA (AP) - A United Nations anti-racism panel has questioned Israel's policy on preserving holy sites, asking the country to explain whether it protects places considered sacred to religions other than Judaism.
"To date, approximately 120 places have been declared as holy sites, all of which are Jewish," the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination said in its list of questions, written before the recent furor over the construction project.
Israel's government has also been asked to explain if it discriminates between Jewish citizens and what it calls its "Arab sector" in how it provides housing, education, public services, land rights and legal protection against acts of violence.

I'll pay attention after the UN investigates Zimbabwe and the murder of white farmers.
sorry I did a search but now scrolling down this is psted already!!!
The U.N. Anti-Israeli storm troopers are at it again. Maybe they should ALL spend a year or so in Africa...and actually do something productive, instead of POLITICAL.
There are no valid Islamic religious sites in Jerusalem. Any Mosques were deliberately built over-top existing Jewish or Christian sites, after Muslims took the city by force. Forcing everyone to 'convert or die', as usual. Al Aqsa SHOULD be town down, as it is defiling the historic home of Judeaism and Christianity.
Sorry: That isnt going to happen.
The UN picks and chooses where it sticks its nose.
They wont stick their nose anywhere that it might get bitten off. They know they are safe attacking the US and Israel. They know neither will retaliate. They know the rest of the world either agrees with them or they wont say anything./
The UN is probably even more cowardly than the democrat party.
How do you classify Native Americans? Australian Aborigines?
The "3 races" classification was proposed 200 years ago, anthropology has advanced since then.
But be that as it may, Islam is not a race and Arabs are not a separate race.
see post 3!
You're trying to teach logic to this organization of idiots. I wonder how many Americans are on the panel.
I am part Native American and I am Caucasoid.
the U.N. is reporting from the 26th holiest city in islame! /sarc off
seriously, when was the last time you heard the media refer to 'the holy city of Rome'?
What's Barack Obama?
Negroid is dominant...
What about Freakazoid?
I was just trying to make a point that Muslims are not a race. The definitive three races have subgroups and ethnic differences. It is quite a mishmash now.
