This recent UNESCO resolution is another delusional U.N. decision which disregards the historical truth and the Jewish people's deep connection to Hebron
UNESCO's Hebron Resolution Denounces Israel Heritage
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL -- The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Committee passed a resolution last Friday which declares that the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron is a Palestinian heritage site. Twelve of the World Heritage Committee's 21 member states voted in favor of the resolution, three opposed it and six abstained.
The Hebron resolution, debated as part of the committee's 41st annual summit in Krakow, Poland, names the Tomb of the Patriarchs as the third cultural site on UNESCO's List of World Heritage in Danger that is in the "State of Palestine." The other two are the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem and the "cultural landscape of southern Jerusalem, Battir." The Palestinians submitted the Hebron motion via an expedited procedure, claiming that the area was "threatened" and that Israel was "vandalizing" the site. The committee will convene each year to discuss them.
