How Could They Do This, Biblical Sites Claimed As Islamic?

[Khandro]

UNESCO has joined forces with Islamic State. The fundamentalists now have a new weapon: resolutions passed by servile international bodies.

An earlier delay and the opposition of UNESCO's chief, Irina Bokova, had raised hopes that this act of jihadist, barbaric, unjust, and, frankly, arrogant supremacism might be voted down.* It was not. Now a new lie was given the sanction of the world's largest and most unaccountable body whose reason for being is to preserve significant sites, not to bowdlerize them.

Lies by UNESCO to rewrite history, erasing all traces of Judaism and Christianity to favour a jihadist Islamic fancy, were already under way in 2015. UNESCO fraudulently renamed two ancient Biblical Jewish sites, Rachel's Tomb and the Cave of the Patriarchs, as Islamic sites. Historically, Islam did not even exist until the seventh century.

* Both France and Sweden cravenly abstained.

///the full article is in Gatestone///

Now there's a surprise!

[Khandro]

Baldric. Gatestone:you sound as if you have something against it, what would that be and why? Are you perhaps a member of the Jeremy Corbyn cohort with 'friends in Hamas'?

Glory Glory Hallelujah,

[naomi24]

Khandro, this really is seriously alarming. My question to them would be 'why?' - and I would want an answer.

[beso]

They are all just factions the same religion anyway.

[naomi24]
