To be more specific, the Western Wall is a remnant of the Temple.
Spiritually and culturally more than 3000 years Jerusalem has played significant role in Jewish history.
According to Israeli law, Jews are not allowed to pray at Temple Mount to avoid potential violence.
The resolution was approved by 24 members, six countries voted against it while 26 countries abstained from voting.
Hence, it is pointed out that main role of UNESCO is to promote respect for history and tolerance.
Respect for history and tolerance?
Firstly, this shameful resolution has no respect for history. Elementary knowledge of history is needed to figure out that Temple Mount is the holiest site for Jews and that Jewish connection to Jerusalem is constant since ancient times.
Moreover, the resolution has no respect for archaeological discoveries which make it clear about Jewish history in Jerusalem.
Is it peaceful?
Is it manner to express respect and promote tolerance?
Furthermore, they voted against history, the truth, tolerance, and peace.
The Hamas Covenant also known as Hamas Charter had been published in August 1988.
Additionally, in Syria there is a systematic destruction of historical heritage sites conducted by Islamic State.
The fact of the matter is that Jerusalem is holy to three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Islam and Christianity. It is important to mention that Israel defends religious freedom.
Some people consider it disrespectful.
Undoubtedly, disrespectful is to deny historical proofs.
Particularly, anti-Semitic people deny it, calling for “tolerance” and “peace” not because they love Palestinians but hate Jews.
Promoting tolerance means to stand by those who encourage democratic values and support religious freedom.
Respecting history means knowing facts about it.
To conclude, the campaign which main goal is to ignore and deny Jewish ties to the Temple Mount is nothing but an obstacle to peace.
