UN Supports Islamist Denial Of Jews' Historical Connection To Jerusalem Sites

Jerusalem
"Born out of the bloodstained battlefields and death camps of World War II, the United Nations was established as the godfather of international peace and human rights. But that description is a far cry from today's reality. UNESCO, the United Nation's intellectual arm for cultural peace and unity, has proven repeatedly that it only takes a few votes to rewrite history.

Over the last few months UNESCO has passed resolution after resolution aimed at erasing Israel's history and denying her claim to Jerusalem, the crown jewel of the Jewish people. Take, for example, October's resolution, which denied Judaism's connection to the Temple Mount, or May's resolution, which denied Israel's claim to any part of Jerusalem, to this month's resolutions, which deny any Jewish connection to the Old City of Jerusalem and call Israel an 'occupying' power.

It is abundantly clear that UNESCO has a disturbing bias against Israel. After UNESCO's latest vote, which denies Israel's claim to the Tombs of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon properly identified what UNESCO is doing : 'They are trying to rewrite Jewish history and the history of the region.'

UNESCO's refusal to acknowledge the undeniable Jewish tie to their land, most importantly Jerusalem, is a blatant revision of history, against UNESCO's mission, and feeds the insatiable appetite for terror against Jews living in Israel..."
