Netanyahu Won't Attend UNESCO Anti-Semitism Conference

(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Netanyahu declined an invitation from UNESCO to participate in a conference on anti-Semitism at the UN on Wednesday. He said: "I have decided not to participate in this week's UNESCO conference on anti-Semitism due to the organization's persistent and egregious bias against Israel. Since 2009, UNESCO has passed 71 resolutions condemning Israel and only 2 resolutions condemning all other countries combined. This is simply outrageous." "UNESCO...must do more than host a conference on anti-Semitism. It must stop practicing anti-Semitism....No matter what UNESCO says, the Western Wall is not occupied Palestinian territory and the Cave of the Patriarchs - the burial site of Abraham and Sara, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah - is not a Palestinian Heritage Site....If and when UNESCO ends its bias against Israel, stops denying history and starts standing up for the truth, Israel will be honored to rejoin."
