At the U.N., battle against Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem is eternally waged

"[A]t the United Nations, the diplomatic battle for a united Jerusalem is eternally waged on almost a monthly basis, whether it is in UN forums in Geneva, in Paris or at the UN headquarters in New York.

This July, UNESCO's World Heritage Committee is set to reaffirm, as it does every year, that the historical cradle of Judaism, where its most holy sites of the Temple Mount and the Western Wall are situated, is not part of sovereign Israel. Neither, for that matter according to the UN, is the Old City or any parts of Jerusalem that Israel wrested from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War.

In March, the UN Human Rights Council made a similar statement. In December, the UN General Assembly passed no less than five resolutions decrying Israeli sovereignty over the pre-1967 lines in east Jerusalem...

Fifty-two years ago on Sunday, Israeli paratroopers marveled that the Western Wall was in Jewish hands. But at the UN, there are very few voting hands willing to agree that Jerusalem should remain in those hands."
