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.

And, no, it's not the Al-Aqṣa Mosque/Al-Ḥaram Al-Sharif, or whatever. It's the Temple Mount. Always has been! Always will be!
Israel will ignore the resolution.
PULL THAT THING DOWN AND BUILD A TEMPLE!!!!!!
YES!
They had better ignore it.
There is no longer a legitimate need for the UN.
Making Odumbo the Secretary General of the United Nuts would be perfect for the anti-Semitic, Muslim-loving douche bag that has been running this country down the drain for the past 7+ years.
From a bunch of absurd, genocidally anti-Semitic actors.
You’re right. The Bible says otherwise.
So many things happening in the ME today. Maybe our generation will be the one to see His return!
Who gives a shiite what the UN says?
All the more reason to vote for DONALD TRUMP/MIKE PENCE who have pledged their support to ISRAEL.
GENESIS 12:3
I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Hope I live to see the day the golden baseball cap is bulldozed. Popcorn. Sell tickets.
The eerie lodestone altar, and the cryptic, Picasso-like mural on the smallest wall, symbolize the empty heart of countless leaders throughout the ages until this day.
It surprise no one that they have a guy as its own official Indian meditation instructor who holds two meditation sessions weekly within the U.N. building, and whose specialty is to lull his audiences into trance with music!
Why anyone would believe or trust the UN on anything concerning matters of faith or Israel's history is insane!
..The UN Meditation Room".....
I STAND WITH ISRAEL , 100%
throw all the f-ing Arabs out , every last one
That concrete block looks like something they perform human sacrifices on.
You know those airplanes used for fighting Forrest fires? Israel should load up one with pig blood and douse that mosque, weekly.
The UN has been a travesty for so many years, NUKE the UN!
Go, Trump, GO!
I stand with Israel.
