The United Nations’ cultural agency voted to condemn Israel’s sovereignty in Jerusalem.
UNESCO — the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization — passed a resolution called “Occupied Palestine” by a vote of 22-10, with 26 countries abstaining or absent, on Tuesday.
The resolution calls on Israel to rescind any “legislative and administrative measures and actions” it has taken to “alter the character and status” of Jerusalem. It rejects the idea of a “basic law” in Jerusalem, based off of a 1980 Knesset law, which implies that the city is one unified whole and governed solely by Israel.
Submitted by Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar and Sudan, the resolution also sharply criticizes Israel’s construction in eastern Jerusalem’s Old City and “deplores” the Jewish state’s “continuous” closure of the Gaza strip.
The vote was taken on Israel’s Independence Day and follows a highly controversial UNESCO resolution passed last October that ignored Jewish ties to the Western Wall and Temple Mount sites.
Hillel Neuer, who heads the watchdog group UN Watch, tweeted that despite the outcome, Israel won a “moral victory” in the voting process. He noted that the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Greece, Italy and the Netherlands all voted no, and that India abstained.

A lot like voting to condemn Islam’s hold on Mecca.
Screw UNESCO. Anti-Semitic/Anti-Zionist Nazi scum.
...trampled underfoot by the gentiles till the times of the gentiles be fulfilled...O Jerusalem Jerusalem
Of course they did. For two generations after WW2, the evil of antisemitism was socially unacceptable. It still existed, but it had to be hidden. Now it is celebrated by the UN, the Democrat Party, and the elites who are despised by the Tea Party and by Trump voters. I suspect we are headed for another global catastrophe, with the socialist movement’s bigotry against Jews taking a leading role - again.
UNESCO. Anti-Semitic/Anti-Zionist Nazi scum, funded by your tax dollars.
And Trump still has not moved our embassy!
Pound sand UNESCO
Jerusalem and Israel will survive. Lousy organizations will not
They’ll be voting to condemn crackdowns in Occupied Marseille, Calais, Munich, and Amsterdamn eventually.
Well, after all, Jesus did precede muhammad by 600 years or more.
UNESCO? These anti-semetic bums can take a leap. Who cares what they say about anything? Most members are loser dictatorships.
It’s OK when non-white people do it. For anything.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
