(Jerusalem Post) Michael Freund - On June 12, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) announced that the U.S. has decided to rejoin the group, 4 1/2 years after America pulled out, due in part to UNESCO's stridently unbalanced anti-Israel positions. Yet in May, the UNESCO executive board in Paris once again passed a series of scandalous anti-Israel resolutions. In a subsection about Jerusalem, Israel is described as the "Occupying Power" over the city. Another subsection declares that both Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem and the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron are "Palestinian sites" which are under Israeli occupation. This is so patently offensive and insulting that it borders on outright antisemitism. Denying the Jewishness of our ancestors is nothing less than a direct assault on the very foundations of the Jewish people, and UNESCO deserves to be shunned for it, not embraced. The fact is that UNESCO and its obscene anti-Israel bias has not changed one whit. 2023-06-19 00:00:00Full Article
