UNESCO has rewritten history in the Land of Israel before. It has declared the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism — which it refers to only by its Arabic name, Al-Haram Al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) — as an exclusively Muslim holy site. And now Jericho is about to be given similar treatment by UNESCO, its significance in the history of the Jews ignored, while the fact that the city is now populated entirely by Palestinians will lead UNESCO to ignore thousands of years of its Jewish history and to describe it as an exclusively “Palestinian heritage site.” “Is UNESCO Going to Erase Jewish History From Another Israeli City?,” by Justin Amler, Algemeiner, September 8, 2023:
Jericho is considered the world’s oldest city, and is most famous from the Bible as the first city that Joshua conquered when the Israelites entered the land of Canaan after 40 years in the desert. Today, the ancient site of Jericho contains ruins of synagogues that are thousands of years old, where mosaics inscribed with Hebrew writings have been discovered. This is unequivocal archaeological evidence of the historical Jewish presence in the ancient city….
UNESCO will no doubt ignore those ancient and venerable ruined synagogues, and their mosaics with Hebrew writings; it simply ignores any evidence of a Jewish presence in the places it has decided to declare are “Palestinian heritage sites.”
For many years, Palestinian leaders have openly stated that no Jewish Temple ever existed in Jerusalem — even though numerous ancient non-Jewish sources, including Muslim writings, as well as archaeology, prove this beyond any doubt. As recently as May of this year, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas stated in a speech at the UN that there is no proof of any Jewish ties to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, saying archaeologists dug everywhere and couldn’t find anything.
Archeologists did indeed find thousands of Jewish artifacts of all kinds in the hundreds of tons of earth that the Palestinians excavated from the Temple Mount. But Mahmoud Abbas lies about everything — why wouldn’t he lie about this? After all, he also told the UN Security Council “we are the descendants of the Canaanites that lived in the land 5,000 years ago.” He’s a mythomane, with a vivid oriental imagination.
Yasser Arafat said the same thing during the Camp David Summit in 2000. In 2015, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, said in an interview with Israeli TV that there has never been a Jewish house of worship on the Temple Mount, instead claiming that it had been home to a mosque “from the creation of the world” — despite Islam existing for far less time than the creation of the world….
Not only Abbas, but both Arafat in 2000 and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in 2015 denied the existence of the First and Second Temples. All those menorahs, candlesticks, tools, pottery shards, utensils, and coins that have been unearthed are simply ignored by the Palestinians — and by UNESCO. So are the descriptions of both temples that Jewish, Greek, and Roman historians have left to posterity; Jewish history is being systematically erased by the Palestinians. But why must UNESCO play such a sinister role in this ghastly farce?
In September 2021, a 65-page document released by the Shilo Forum and the Shomrim al HaNetzach organization, a watchdog group dedicated to protecting Israel’s archaeological treasures, examined a selection of important national and cultural Jewish archaeological and historical sites in the West Bank. The report found that of the 365 sites examined, a staggering 289 had been damaged or destroyed, including sites dating back to Biblical times, as well as those from the Second Temple era.
The Palestinians have been deliberately destroying as much of Israel’s Jewish history as they can, smashing artifacts, and the remains of ancient synagogues, uncovered by Israeli archeologists. The scale of such destruction has been shocking. UNESCO has said nothing about this continuing orgy of destruction of Jewish sites by the Palestinians. Can it really not have noticed?
Here’s an idea: last June, the US agreed to rejoin UNESCO and to pay back dues of $600 million. Now it should announce that if UNESCO goes ahead and declares Jericho to be a “Palestinian heritage site” the Americans will again leave UNESCO, and will not pay whatever part of that promised $600 million is still outstanding. No moral appeal will change UNESCO’s behavior, but a threat to UNESCO’s bank account will get the attention of that organization, and possibly persuade it to change its history-falsifying ways.
Here’s an idea.
If the Fakestinans are intent on erasing 5000 years of Jewish history, it shouldn’t be much trouble for the Israelis to erase the abomination that sits on the Temple Mount….the al Aqsa Mosque. But keep the gold that adorns the top and whatever treasure resides inside…including all the weapons that have been smuggled in.
Every Muslim a terrorist…every Mosque a weapons cache.
I think it’s time for the Israelis to go all Viking on these murderers. While they are at it Mossad should begin deporting all of the leftist Israelis intent on committing cultural and religious suicide. I hear the West Bank is nice this time of year.
The Fakestinians are so intent on erasing the archeological evidence of an ancient Jewish presence because despite 14 centuries of first cousin marriages even their own feeble minds they know their own historical claims are non existent. Most are migrants from neighboring Arab states. Moreover, there is no distinct “Palestinian” culture or language, much less religion. The “Palestinians” were invented by Gamal Abdul Nasser and the KGB in 1964. Wokelings who accessorize their Che Guevara t shirts with keffiyehs have no interest in self determination for Uyghurs or Kurds (who ARE distinct ethnicities) much less Jews.
Well said, sir. Upvoted.
The “West Bank”? That’s Israel. In fact it’s Biblical Israel, unless you don’t think that Judea ever had any Jews living in it. Leave it alone. Move them to the East Bank, which is in Jordan. It’s probably too good for them, but it’ll do.
I believe that everything the Bible has told Us is real—David was real–Ezeikle told Us things we can see today
There are many angels and the devil was one who fell —not far from the story of EVE in the garden eating forbidden fruit–Satan though he should be GOG–Absurd; but his twisted belief–much like Mohamad and his followers that came after CHRIST and pretending to be GOD’s Son–or equal—Moses saw a similar thing after being WITH GOD and returning to a people “once again” taken in by the silver tongued DEVIL
When will they ever learn–My LORD : will they EVER learn? grvn
My favorite source for Biblical archeology is the YouTube channel “Expedition Bible,” it is upsetting to think anyone would vandalize those sites.
If Biblical history is a myth. What are they afraid of? If it isn’t……………….
Trump pull America out of UNESCO its time to evict the entire United Nations totally
Most people are unaware that UNESCO is part of the UN even though it has the initials. Most people are also unaware that the World pHarma Organisation is part of the UN.
The UN is seen as a benign organisation but it is ONLY benign to those who give it the most money.
Currently their funding comes largely from islamic dictators.
Not as much damage as is caused by Ahskamarxi’im to the land and people of Israel (not to mention to Judaism and Jewry the world over).
So, while Marxist jewry is destroying the USA we should be worried about some stone walls. Get some kickback from Ukraine and hire some guards.
Someone doesn’t like the FACTS? While it was Shamir who kicked off the “peace process” by going to Madrid, Oslo is the product of those oh so deeply committed Jews–Peres, his poodle Yossi Beilin and Rabin–who foisted Oslo on Judaism, Jewry and ISRAEL. There’s nothing the Likud can do about this–nothing. Jericho is Area A–“Palestine” and the “Palestinians” are destroying Jewry’s legacy in every square inch of Area A. If the current government tries to stop it, the UN will come down like a ton of bricks on Israel and lets see what the “raised in a synagogue” Biden and his “Jewish” Secretary of State do about that.
Far left Jews–who I correctly call “Ashkamarxi’im–are responsible for this. Shove your down votes up your…personnel world caverns and keep thinking you see the light.
And we are the principal funder of the UN why?
The simple and stark historical reality and fact that Jews were living in the middle east for millennia before the founding of the supremacist, totalitarian, belligerent and pathology-laden ideology of “Submission;” millennia before such a thing as a “Muslim” ever existed, is decidedly inconvenient to European, Leftist dhimmi and American Dhimmi-crat Jew-haters and Israel-slanderers — vile and evil collaborators with and enablers of Muslim supremacists and terrorists.
Who gives a damn about what UNESCO says or does? How can an Israeli government, a Likud government at that, stand by and see the Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria erased by nihilist scum?
There are and there never were any Arab/muslim “Palestinians”. The only ones who could legally be identified as such were the Jews living in the Palestine territory during the British mandate. The evidence to that fact is overwhelming. There was, inter alia, the ID cards issued by the British authorities to the Jews in Palestine (including to Golda Meir) since the 20s, that identified them as ‘Palestinians’.
There were also the newspapers.
There was Haaretz, the Palestine news daily newspaper.
There was The Palestinian Post, who issued on May 14, 1948 an article entitled: “State of Israel is born” and went on to print: “The first independent Jewish State in 19 centuries was born in Tel Aviv as the British Mandate over Palestine came to an end at midnight on Friday, and it was immediately subjected to the test of fire.”
On the Arab side, there was the New York Times of Cairo, Egypt, whose article on December 3, 1945 was entitled: “Arabs to boycot palestinian goods.” identifying without the shadow of a doubt that it were the Jews in Palestine who were known as Palestinians.
It is high time to get rid of this hoax that consists of attributing to the Arabs a State that never was and a fictitious identity forged by the KGB in 1967.
Meh, Jews will still vote for the socialists who support this. Or at least 80% will.
From current day Istanbul to Kabul there were only Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and a few minor religious Sects and now with the exception of tiny wee Israel that entire area is islamic due to the slaughtered, conquering and the subjugation by islamic warriors, aka madmen.
So how can ANY Arabic muslim people say they were around the Middle East when muhamad, may piss be upon him, met his fallen Angel centuries later surrounded by Jews and Christians etc.
islam teaches to lie in order to defend their Fascist Religious Cult but to do so in front of the World Body at the UN is really taking their lies to a new extreme..
Tell a lie, tell a big one and tell it often and it will become truth by itself… Herr Goebbels.. That wee Nazi prick.
I talked with You thrice and met with You twice–the last time in Palm Springs where you showed up late for dinner at Spencer’s —Sir I bought Your Mag. RAMPARTS in 1964-5-6 Whatever because I hated war and was a Democrat –We both woke up and discovered communists took over our grandparents party before 1940–sad but true as i am learning more about each day YALTA happened only because communists in control of the Democrats—a sick President and a Biden like Puppet Truman led America to NEVER ENDING FOREIGN WARS. My opinion. grvn
SORRY MY COMMENTS ARE TOO ABRASIVE I WILL NEVER RETURN. GARY
the chances of dementia joe withholding funds from unesco are zilch . but dumb and dumber will be quite happy to fund pay for slay and cash to iran , all the while giving lip service to israel . israel has no friends . there is no such thing as a two state solution . only one state and it aint jewish .
Much of the world, including Israelis, has already accepted Arafat”s Arabs’ fake identification, that they are Palestinians. And Israel has been losing to this propaganda from the beginning by not opposing it directly, and still foolishly acknowledging them as Palestinians. The Arabs’ aim is to claim that Palestine is their land, as they are Palestinians. And so it continues. No one should be surprise that these Arabs will destroy whatever historical evidence that they can lay their hands on as they can see the success of their propaganda, accepted even by Israelis. They are Palestinians, really ?
