There has been a big hue and cry here in Israel about the UNESCO’s Anti-Jewish Statements re: Israeli/Jewish connection to our holy sites by the very same people who are complicit in perpetuating the problem.
UNESCO adopts resolution ignoring Jewish ties to Temple Mount
Resolution refers to Temple Mount area solely as Al-Aksa Mosque/Al-Haram Al Sharif, except for two references to the Western Wall Plaza that were put in parenthesis.
The hypocrisy really annoys me. The same people, such as Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and MK Yair Lapid, who have no problem with the rulings forbidding Jewish worship and easy access to Har Habayit complain about the UNESCO resolution.
This terrible Israeli policy, and the handing to the Wakf “the keys” soon after our miraculous 1967 victory is the reason all sorts of foreign/international and even some Israeli groups have ‘de-judaized’ our holiest spot.
“Announcement and Warning
According to Torah Law, entering the Temple Mount Area is strictly forbidden due to the holiness of the site.”
In actuality, this is not entirely true. Only one tiny section is too holy to enter, and there are easy to accomplish purification tasks one can do beforehand. And if it is so holy, then why allow others to defile it with ease?
Since this Israeli Law has been in effect for decades, why should our politicians be so outraged? We’ve deserted our holiest site and given it to a bunch of dangerous anti-Israel terrorists!!
