On October 21, UNESCO (the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) declared that Rachels Tomb near Jerusalem is the Bilal ibn Rabah mosque endorsing a Palestinian claim that first surfaced only in 1996 and which ignores centuries of Muslim tradition. In a series of decisions condemning Israel, the UNESCO board called upon the government to rescind its decision in February to include Rachels Tomb and the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron on Israels official list of national heritage sites.(snip) Yet anyone visiting the site today will find it difficult to identify the image known to generations of Jews.

Temple Mount's Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is supposedly the third holiest site of Islam (after Makkah and Medina). It was utterly neglected and falling apart before being meticulously refurbished by the antiquity expertise and funds of the Jooze.
Now, why would that be?

The wonderful thing about the parasitic Islam is that only Christian faith will stop it's spread. Certainly the test of tests.

I imagine the Israelis feel the same way about American Jews.
