'UNESCO Temple Mount Denial is Worse than Holocaust Denial'

"In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, leading pro-Israeli Christian groups are heading to the UN to condemn UNESCO's effort to deny the Jewish nature of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism.

Laurie Cardoza-Moore, Special UN Envoy for the World Council of Independent Christian Churches (WCICC) and President of Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN), is to take part in UN meetings where she will condemn UNESCO's shocking resolution last month, which recognized the Mount only as Al-Aqsa Mosque...

'This message is particularly important on Holocaust Remembrance Day, because we cannot afford to standby as Jewish history is publicly denied by an organization of the United Nations,' warned Cardoza-Moore.

'Denying the Jewish people's connection to the Temple Mount is tantamount to denying the existence of the Jewish people and is therefore even more grave than Holocaust denial.'

The PJTN president also warned that by denying the connection between the Jewish people and the Temple Mount, UNESCO is undermining its own stated mission which is 'to contribute to the building of peace,' as its denial increases violence and violates the human rights of Jews and Christians who support the Jewish connection to Jerusalem and all Israel..."
