    The UNESCO resolution, sponsored by several Arab countries, marginalizes Jewish ties to the Western Wall, a remnant of the biblical temple compound, and to the plaza that Jews revere as the Temple Mount and Muslims revere as the Noble Sanctuary.

    Netanyahu asks on his Facebook page: “Is it any wonder the U.N. has become a moral farce when UNESCO, the U.N. body tasked with preserving history, denies and distorts history?”

    The Palestinian foreign ministry welcomed the resolution, which was adopted on Thursday in draft form. It’s to reach UNESCO’s executive plenary next week. UNESCO adopted a similar resolution in April.

    Bibi, you have bo merit to your arguments. You are the head of a secular state called Israel. These holy sites do NOT beling to you. They were just as part of the Muslims before the wars. When Mashiach comes (if you know who that is) we will be the proud recepients of the right of all holy sites. Till then we are in GALUS! And the worse galus is being enslaved by people that call themselves yidden. Walk away from these holy sites. You desecrate every mitzvah of our holy Torah. You have no inkling what judaism is all about. What makes you eligibleto demand anything of our holy sotes???Your ancestors were jewish and thats all u have to it. It might b a lot but not when your a total porek ol. Get a life!

    The Israeli government deligitimize their own land by negotiating parts of it away. How can they expect the non Jewish world to be any different?
