There is a concerted effort among “Palestinians” and their supporters to erase all evidence of the historical connection of Jews to Israel. The UN, controlled by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, is a willing partner in these efforts. Besides being motivated by Islamic Jew-hatred, this endeavor is in line with the Islamic supremacist tendency to appropriate the holy places and sacred figures of other religions.
“UNESCO Renames Western Wall ‘Al-Buraq Plaza,’” by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz, Breaking Israel News, April 17, 2016 (thanks to Janice):
On Friday, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) Executive Board in Paris adopted a resolution erasing Israel’s ties to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
The UNESCO resolution referred to the Temple Mount area solely as the Al-Aqsa Mosque or Al-Haram Al Sharif, ignoring the Jewish claim to the site.
The resolution called Israel “the occupying power” and the Western Wall as Al-Buraq Plaza. It demanded that Israel not restrict Muslim access to the Temple Mount, condemning Israel for “illegal measures against the freedom of worship” at the “Muslim holy site of worship”. It demanded a return to the “status quo”. The status quo since Israel conquered the Temple Mount in 1967 forbids non-Muslim prayer on the Temple Mount and has remained unchanged.
Blaming “Israel aggression” for the violence at the site, it had no mention of the role of Muslim rioters.
It also condemned the Israel’s plans to establish an egalitarian, non-Orthodox prayer section by Robinson’s Arch.
It accused Israel of “planting Jewish fake graves in other spaces of the Muslim cemeteries” located on Waqf property east and south of the Temple Mount, and of “the continued conversion of many Islamic and Byzantine remains into the so-called Jewish ritual baths or into Jewish prayer places.”.
It referred to Hebron and Bethlehem as solely “Palestinian sites”.
Authorized by the executive board’s Programme and External Relations Commission, the resolution was submitted by Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, and Sudan. The 58-member board approved the resolution with 33 votes in favor, six against and 17 abstentions. Two countries, Ghana and Turkmenistan were absent all together. Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the US voted against the resolution. France, Spain, Slovenia, Sweden, Russia and Slovenia were among those countries that supported the resolution.
Israeli ambassador to UNESCO, Carmel Shama, released a statement saying, “Even if UNESCO passes dozens of resolutions, and decides to continue passing thousands more, Jerusalem will always remain as part of the capital of Israel and the Jewish people.” Shama added, “As you continue on this path of incitement, lies and terror you will be sending UNESCO down a path towards irrelevance.”
“This is yet another absurd UN decision,” Netanyahu said Saturday. “UNESCO ignores the unique historic connection of Judaism to the Temple Mount, where the two temples stood for a thousand years and to which every Jew in the world has prayed for thousands of years. The UN is rewriting a basic part of human history and has again proven that there is no low to which it will not stoop.”
Trump will make America Great Again!!! He'll pull us out of the UN!!!
Not a chance. Nor will Cruz or any of them.
Long past time to withdraw from the UN, cut off their U.S. funding and evict them from the U.S.
Imagine what their N.Y. real estate would sell for if put to productive use.
>>He’ll pull us out of the UN!!!<<
Don’t hold your breath. Trump against thousands of very powerful, secretive globalist.
They will never allow the U.S. to exit the U.N.. In fact, the country that gives the most $$$ to the U.N., the United States.
The UN? FM!
D1 renames the U.N., the International Sh— Hole!
People can reference it by ISH from here on out.
its long long LONG past time to get rid of the enemy —send them .ipacking, out of the Land of Israel... send them back to their own countries (Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Arabia mostly).
Jerusalem has tried to accomodate, assist, respect them...for years and years.... but keeps getting bombs, terrorist attacks, knifings, and missile bombardments in return.
To Hell (or at least back to their own Krapistans) with the so-called “Palis”... ASAP!
Bubba....... I wonder what the authority is for those UNESCO
@zzwholes to rename the Western Wall. Pure unadulterated horse manure.
Add the keyword.
The tradition began when the current Caliph in Amman found his court was restless and acting up, so he moved everyone to Jerusalem, built the mosque, started the tradition to attract tourists who paid his court people running the concessions and all was well until the court got bored and the caliph moved them back to Amman returning Jerusalem to the dusty forgotten place it had been for centuries until after WWII when it again made news as the homeland of the Jews so all the muslims flocked there to kill them but that didn’t go well.
God will have the last word on this. The UN and the muslims will howl when truth is revealed.
Oy, those crazy muslims.
Can anyone remind me why the UN exists??? To prevent war??? To ensure peace???
Or just to constantly bash Israel and the USA.
The blessed Western Wall was named such before my birth of 63 years, just 4 years after the birthing of the nation of Israel.
It shall never be named anything mohammedan, nor shall any other name come from my lips.
Truly a myth.
These stinking muzzies think they own the world. Only part of that they will inhabit will be their graves, and those will be in the sand. Sick of the muzzie idiot blatherings—they sound like the goats they all loved last night. Yuk.
