UNESCO’s Jerusalem Lies | Algemeiner

Earlier this month, coinciding with Israel’s 69th Independence Day, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) passed a resolution entitled “Occupied Palestine.” The resolution denies Israel any sovereign claim to its own capital city, Jerusalem, and falsely describes Israel as the city’s “occupying power.” The anti-Israel measure also speaks of the “cultural heritage of Palestine and the distinctive character of East Jerusalem.”
