Is the UN Trying to Rewrite the Bible?
Amid the chaos of the current American political environment, Palestinian and Jordanian representatives submitted a draft resolution to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization's World Heritage Committee.
Its goal: to rewrite history and eradicate any Jewish connection to Judaism's holiest sites.
The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America isn't taking the resolution—which is clearly based on pushing a Muslim-dominant agenda for the Middle East—lightly. The organization made the following statement to American media outlets:
"Though the resolution is clearly based on falsehood and distortion, there was no guarantee that the U.N.'s cultural organization would dismiss it. After all, UNESCO had just three months earlier sided with anti-Israel forces to pass a resolution condemning Jewish visits to and policing of the Temple Mount, which it referred to only by its Arab terms—al-Aksa Mosque/al-Haram al Sharif.
"While France, a member that voted for the April resolution, subsequently apologized for this, Palestinians and Muslims were encouraged to step up their campaign. This time around, however, members of the World Heritage Committee realized they would probably lack the votes to pass the contentious resolution at their annual meeting in Istanbul, and indefinitely delayed voting on it."
CAMERA has put together a summary report that details the historical facts about the Temple Mount, as well as the implications of adopting a resolution such as the one presented recently. Click here to read the entire report.
"The demand by Palestinians and other Muslim groups to usurp Jewish holy sites through historical revisionism should not be dismissed as merely an academic or political dispute," the group said in its statement. "Were these groups to achieve their goals in expelling Israelis, Jews and non-Muslims from the site, the disastrous results would resonate far beyond the Middle East."
