The PA is insisting the rest of the world adopt their alternative facts. Not a good look, to be kind.

Palestinian officials are demanding an apology from the new United Nations chief after he said it was completely clear that the Temple that the Romans destroyed in Jerusalem was a Jewish temple.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also told Israel Radio in an interview Friday with its New York correspondent that no one can deny the fact that Jerusalem is holy to three religions today, including Judaism.
On Sunday, Adnan al-Husseini, the Palestinian Authoritys Jerusalem Affairs minister, told the Chinese news service Xinhua that Guterres ignored UNESCOs decision that considered the Al-Aqsa mosque of pure Islamic heritage. He also said Guterres violated all legal, diplomatic and humanitarian customs and overstepped his role as secretary general
and must issue an apology to the Palestinian people.
Xinhua also spoke with an adviser to PA President Mahmoud Abbas, Ahmad Majdalani, a member of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, who said that Guterress comments undermine the trustworthiness of the UN as a body that should support occupied peoples and that Guterres should clarify his remarks that give Israel a green light for more measures against Jerusalem.
When tragedy becomes farce.
