PA: Denial of Jewish history 'victory for Palestinian people'
A Fatah press release said that the importance of the decision lies in its content, specifically that it denies any historical connection between Jews and Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

"...It signed the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Resolution (UNESCO), issued last Thursday to deny the existence of any religious association of Jews Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall.."

That's not anti-Israel.

It's anti-Jewish, a perfect example of antipathy towards Jews. This is an affront against all Jews worldwide, not Israel.

Most of those quotes are about terrorists who murder Jews, right? shira Oct 2016 #8

Nope - let's take a closer look at these nice statements in context: Little Tich Oct 2016 #13

I believe that there's no such thing as justified racism. n/t Little Tich Oct 2016 #15

Really? The UNESCO vote wasn't justified racism in your view? shira Oct 2016 #17

Uhrghh. Caused by doesn't necessarily mean morally justified by... Little Tich Oct 2016 #19

Be honest, admit UNESCO was racist. Don't excuse it due to occupation. shira Oct 2016 #20
