UNESCO antog i fredags en resolution som behandlade Tempelberget i Jerusalem, judarnas heligaste plats. För UNESCO är platsen enbart en muslimsk helig plats, judarnas koppling till området nämns inte i resolutionen.
I resolutionstexten anklagas Israel för de mest märkliga saker.
Estland, Tyskland, Litauen, Nederländerna,
Storbritannien och USA röstade mot resolutionen medan Frankrike, Spanien, Sverige, Ryssland och Slovenien röstade för den.
En annan resolution som mera globalt fördömde Israel röstade endast USA emot.
Dårskapen i världen är så otroligt stor!
UNESCO adopts resolution ignoring Jewish ties to Temple Mount (Jerusalem Post)
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the move as another “absurd” UN resolution.
“UNESCO ignores the unique Jewish connection to the Temple Mount, the site of two temples for 1,000 years, and the place to which Jews prayed for thousands of years,” he said in a statement Saturday night. “ The UN is rewriting a basic part of human history and proving that there is no low to which it will not reach.”
Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid on Friday night distributed copies of the resolutions to the media and slammed the decision.
He penned a letter to the UNESCO director- general Irina Bokova in which he called the resolution a “disgraceful attempt to rewrite history and rewrite reality as part of a sustained political campaign against the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
“This resolution was an utterly irresponsible intervention in one of the most complex places in the Middle East. UNESCO prides itself on promoting tolerance, interfaith and inter-cultural dialogue, yet it passes resolutions which erase the Jewish people from the historical narrative,” Lapid said.
He warned that the UNESCO resolution feeds the type of incitement that fueled the violence that began around the time of the Jewish New Year.
“The decision by UNESCO feeds this incitement and so contributes to the wave of terrorism. It will lead directly to more attacks against innocent Israeli civilians and you cannot avoid responsibility for that,” Lapid said."
