UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, just rewrote history, announcing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is an exclusive Muslim holy place and has no connection to the Jewish people or their religion whatsoever.
Last week UNESCO adopted a resolution which refers to Israel as the “occupying power” in Jerusalem and on, what UNESCO calls, the al-Haram al-Shariff (Temple Mount). The Western Wall (Wailing Wall) that is today Judaism’s holiest site is referred to as “Al-Buraq Plaza” in the resolution.
The UNESCO resolution claimed “Israel is planting Jewish fake graves in other spaces of the Muslim cemeteries” near the Temple Mount and falsely accused Israel of “the continued conversion of many Islamic and Byzantine remains into the so-called Jewish ritual baths or into Jewish prayer places.”

The UN body also accused Israel of changing the status quo on “al-Haram al-Shariff” and claims Israeli “right wing extremists” and “uniformed forces” constantly storm the al-Aqsa Mosque and commit “aggression against civilians including sheiks.”
UNESCO especially mentioned the damage caused by Israeli Forces since Aug. 23 “to the gates and the windows of the so-called Qibli Mosque inside al-Aqsa Mosque.”
The organization claimed that Israel doesn’t respect the integrity, authenticity and cultural heritage of al-Aqsa Mosque as “a Muslim Holy Site of worship and as an integral part of a World Cultural Heritage Site.”

Aug. 23 is the date that 67 Jews were murdered in Hebron in 1929 during riots that began after similar lies about a Jewish threat to al-Aqsa ignited the Arab street in British-ruled Palestine.
The UNESCO resolution doesn’t utter a word about the daily riots that already started on the Temple Mount in the summer of 2015 and continued into the autumn after the Palestinian Authority and Hamas spread false rumors that Israel intended to change the status quo on the mount.
There is overwhelming video evidence of who started the fighting at the Temple Mount and of Muslims barricading themselves in the al-Aqsa mosque.

This video was shot at the ninth of the Hebrew month Av (July 26), the day that Jews all over the world commemorate the destruction of the two Temples that stood on what the Arabs now call al-Haram al-Shariff. Jews who came to read the book Lamentations at the Western Wall in Jerusalem were also pelted with rocks that day.
The video shows how Muslims had barricaded themselves in the al-Aqsa mosque and started to pelt police with stones. The video also delivers the evidence that the damage caused to the doors and the windows of the mosque was a result of the actions of the Muslims who prepared for the violence by piling up building materials and rocks in the al-Aqsa mosque.

The premeditated attacks started on July 23 and not on Aug. 23 as UNESCO claims.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted furiously to the new UNESCO resolution.
“This is yet another absurd UN decision,” Netanyahu said on Saturday. “UNESCO ignores the unique historic connection of Judaism to the Temple Mount, where the two temples stood for a thousand years and to which every Jew in the world has prayed for thousands of years. The UN is rewriting a basic part of human history and has again proven that there is no low to which it will not stop.”
The UNESCO resolution was submitted by several Arab countries, among them Egypt which has a peace treaty with Israel. The language of the resolution is identical to the “news updates” that are sent to foreign reporters and diplomats by the Palestinian Authority and the language Arab media use in their reports on Israel.

This is not the first time the UNESCO adopted a resolution that denies Jewish history in Israel and converts Jewish holy places in the country into Muslim holy sites.
In October, the UN organization decided Rachel’s Tomb near Bethlehem and the cave with the tombs of the Jewish Patriarchs in Hebron (Ma’arat HaMachpela) were, in fact, Muslim holy sites. The draft of that resolution originally also included a mention of the Western Wall on the Temple Mount as a Muslim site but was hastily withdrawn after it drew a storm of criticism.
Rachel’s Tomb and Ma’arat HaMachpela are mentioned in the book Genesis (Beresheet) in the stories about the Jewish forefathers Jacob and Abraham. The cave in Hebron was bought by Abraham after his beloved wife Sarah passed away.

For centuries, Jews were banned by Muslims from praying at Ma’arat HaMachpela, and it was only after the Israeli army conquered Hebron during the Six Day War in 1967 that Jews were allowed to pray in a small part of the complex. This situation continues to today.
As for Rachel’s tomb, only in 1996 after the establishment of the Palestinian Authority Arab officials began to refer to the site as the Bilal ibn Rabah mosque.
Later the Palestinian Authority also began to lay claim to Christian holy sites in Israel. Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas said last year that the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (Jerusalem) is “ours” and earlier media reported that Muslims in Nazareth planned to build a giant mosque on the site of the Church of the Annunciation.
