In reply to the discussion: UNESCO draft resolution: Western Wall is part of al-Aksa mosque [View all]R. Daneel Olivaw
(12,606 posts)79. What a wonderfully crafted sophomoric reply.
I think they descreated one site by building OVER the site and now are trying to STEAL the history.
Thrre was no temple when Al Asqa was built, the Arabs had niting to desecrate, but it is a rather quaint notion that somebody has to leave that area barren fir the future Israeli state: 1,500 years ago.
I guess that you must also hate all the mosques that Israel has destroyed outrightsince 1948.
That's all that repulsive UNESCO vote was all about - or do you have a better (and I'm sure amusing) reason for the language of that vote.
IMHO, the UNESCO vote was to send a message to Israel to keep its greedy mitts iff of Al Asqa.
I see you all want to ignore that very inconvenient fact but the links are all above that even the UNESCO Chief deplored the language.
You seem to get a lot of exercize jumping to conclusions.
That's entirely your problem. I know it must be frustrating that your dreams get so very little support here in the US but that also is not my problem. Unfortunately for both Bibi and the far left, Israel will not become a partisan issue.
Well, my wish is for Israel to understand that human rights have to be employed equally for all, for Israel to recognize that international law applies to it 24/7 and not when it is convenient, that theUSA lives up to the same standards and stop turning a bling eye to Jewish bigotry in Israel, and that the crass supporters of Isreali apartheid find that they love peace more than the ststematic ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

This resolution wouldn't have seen the light of day if Israel hadn't tried to change the status quo

Interestingly, I think you're the only one in the I/P group who denies that Israel was trying

It was the protests and nothing else that stopped Israel from changing the status quo.

The UN is working exactly as it's supposed to since it's creation, and that's the problem.
