UN Claims Har Hazeisim Graves Are “Fake”

Image result for har hazeitim
It seems that it doesn't bother the "uber Asken" Avrohom Lubinsky that UNESCO passed a resolution that the Har Habayis doesn't belong to the Jewish People..... what got him upset is that they included Har Hazeism ...
Mr. Lubinsky .... wake up and smell the coffee ...
If you are going to keep quiet and stay in the background when Arabs claim that the Har Habayis is theirs ..... then go into another business ....
this job isn't for you! 
A Jew should scream at the top of his lungs and defend the rights of every single square inch of Israel .... 
Hashem has given you and your cronies ... a sign ... that since you didn't scream when they took Kush Katif, you didn't scream when they took the Har Habayis .... you didn't scream when the EU prohibits us from building ... you didn't scream at the BDS movements ....
then Hashem says I"ll have them  take your graves too....
Why is this now so important and it isn't important for these askanim to protest the EU when they prohibit us from building much needed houses on our own land ....
Now you scream ......
The recent UNESCO resolution claiming that Israel planted “fake Jewish graves” on Har Hazeisim is “a cynical attempt to deny the Jewish people its rich history and its future,” said Avrohom Lubinsky, Chairman of the International Committee for the Preservation of Har Hazeisim (ICPHH). The reference to the historic cemetery of the Jewish people was part of the UNESCO resolution passed at the end of April which denied Jewish claims to the Kosel Hamaravi and the Har Habayis and instead designated them as Muslim holy sites. The motion passed with 33 votes in favor, six against, and 17 abstained. France, Spain, Sweden, Russia and Slovenia were among the non-Arab nations who supported the resolution. Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States objected.


Mr. Lubinsky added: “The UNESCO resolution is an incredible insult to the memories of the 150,000 Jews who are buried there, dating back 3000 years and including the Nevi’im Malachi, Chagai and Zecharia as well as Chulda Hanevi’ia. It is a disgusting act to do to the families of loved ones who are buried there from around the world, including an estimated 20,000 Americans, some 14,000 Frenchmen and 12,000 British citizens. We never heard a word of condemnation about the 45,000 graves that the Jordanians destroyed and used to build a hotel and roads before Israel recaptured Jerusalem in 1967. Nor has there been a word against those Arabs who desecrate graves and heave rocks at worshippers, which thankfully security forces have sharply reduced in recent months.” Mr. Lubinsky said that despite a restoration program by the government several years ago, 23,000 graves remain unrestored.

UNESCO draft resolution: Western Wall is part of al-Aksa mosque



Israel is working to thwart a draft UNESCO resolution which declares that the Western Wall in Jerusalem — the most holy site in Judaism— belongs to the the Muslim al-Aksa Mosque compound.

The drat text to be voted on Wednesday in Paris states that UNESCO “affirms that the Buraq Plaza is an integral part of the Al-Aksa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif.” 

Israel’s Ambassador to UNESCO, Carmel Shama HaCohen, said that the resolution was “a total Islamization” of a site that is revered by both the Jewish and Muslim faiths.

The six page draft resolution submitted by Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates on behalf of the Palestinian Authority to the UNESCO Executive Board, broadly condemns Israeli actions in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.

At no point does the resolution mention the Jewish historical connection to Jerusalem, which dates back to Biblical times. Nor does it reference the Temple Mount or the Western Wall, which was part of the Second Temple before it was destroyed 2,000 years ago.

It relies solely on Arabic names for the holy sites on and around the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City.

In the past, the United Nations Scientific, Cultural and Educational Organization has typically approved resolutions condemning Israeli actions in Jerusalem, but Israel is working to thwart none of those texts have so blatantly attempted to reclassify the Western Wall.

The Palestinians were expected to have an automatic majority of approval among the 58-member states of the UNESCO Executive Board for a broad based anti-Israel resolution on Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

But that support doesn’t extend to reclassifying the Western Wall as part of a religious Muslim site, HaCohen said.

The resolution may fail unless the line about the Buraq Plaza is removed, he said.

“To disconnect the Jewish people from the Western Wall is one step to much, even for nations that are the most anti-Israel,” HaCohen said.

The timing is also problematic, he said. The issue of the Temple Mount has already sparked Palestinian violence against Jewish citizens of Israel, he said.

Aside from the issue of the Western Wall, this resolution, which solely condemn Israeli actions on the Temple Mount will only further inflame passions on this issue and lead to more bloodshed, he said.

It gives a “stamp of authenticity” to Palestinian violence against Israel, HaCohen said.

If UNESCO states that Israel is harming Muslim worshippers “it only adds more fuel to the fire,” said HaCohen as he warned that “both sides will pay in blood for that decision.”
