The UN's Delusion
(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - For decades, the UN has repeatedly shown that it thinks it can set its own facts about Israel, history be damned. Last Friday, UN member countries authorized six anti-Israel resolutions in the General Assembly, including writing the Jewish people out of Jerusalem's history. Jews prayed and made sacrifices to God on the Temple Mount long before Mohammed was born and the religion of Islam came into existence. For 2,000 years in exile, Jews prayed to return to Jerusalem and to that very temple. Our calendar revolves around holidays that were once pilgrimages to the temple. This week, we celebrate Hannukah, which means "dedication," as in the re-dedication of the temple, after it had been desecrated by the Greeks. If longstanding religious tradition is not proof enough, there is a gigantic piece of proof you can't miss when visiting Jerusalem: the Western Wall, which is the supporting wall for the temple that still stands today.
