Palestine’s UNESCO bid to come up Monday (amid Simon Wiesenthal Center hypocrisy)

It looks like the vote on Palestine’s bid for membership in UNESCO, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, will be on Monday:

The Palestinians will need to win over two-thirds of UNESCO’s 193 members on Monday to get full membership.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization, is petitioning to block the Palestinians. It offers this piece of hysteria about “Palestine”:

Should ‘Palestine’ become a UNESCO member, it will surely seek to leverage its membership to gain international support to erase the history of the Jewish people in Eretz Israel and seek to have holy sites, like the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, Joseph’s tomb in Nablus, Rachel’s tomb in Bethlehem, and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, declared as wholly Palestinian heritage sites.

That’s rich. Or as they say in middle school, he who smelt it dealt it; Science Magazine has published a sharp critique of Simon Wiesenthal’s efforts to erase Muslim history in Jerusalem through the construction of the Museum of Tolerance on the Mamilla Cemetery, destroying a cemetery with remains going back to Salah-ad-din’s time. Here’s the link and promo:

In science news around the world this week, the Museum of Tolerance is under fire for intolerance…

The article itself quotes a letter by 84 respected archaeologists speaking out against the Wiesenthal’s grave-disturbing methods. And the Wiesenthal Center refused to comment.

He who made the rhyme did the crime

The Wiesenthal Center organization is a part of the problem. So too anyone who does not advocate the law being upheld. Under the law, Israeli Civil Law has no jurisdiction in territory outside of Israel’s legal sovereign extent, (within the borders of UNGA res 181).

Their denial and refusal to acknowledge Israel’s de jure Sovereignty is purposeful & deceitful and amounts to aiding and abetting a criminal enterprise.

When will the bid for statehood reach the security council?

museum of tolerance…

that is a bad joke testimony to the level of intolerance demonstrated by these same zealots..

The depths of hypocrisy and mendacity to which these pro-Zionist organizations will engage in appears to be boundless.
