,,iv #aaeth ,,congress #ast ,session ,h4 ,,res4 #dcc ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of ,,representatives ,july #aa1 #bjag,mr4 ,hastings submitted the following resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs ,,resolution ,disapproving of the ,united ,nations ,educational1 ,scientific and ,cultural ,organization 7,,unesco7 ,world ,heritage ,committee ,inscription of ,hebron as a ,palestinian ,world ,heritage ,site in ,danger4 ,whereas1 on ,july #g1 #bjag1 the ,united ,nations ,educational1 ,scientific and ,cultural ,organization 7,,unesco71 at the request of the permanent delegation of ,palestine1 designated the ancient city of ,hebron as a ,world ,heritage ,site in ,danger2 ,whereas ,,unesco's online report of the resolution's passage refers to the inscription of ,hebron as ,al ,khalil ,old town1 ,palestine2 ,whereas the ,cave of the ,patriarchs1 a shrine in ancient ,hebron holy to ,jews1 ,christians1 and ,muslims1 is recognized as the burial place of the ,patriarchs and ,matriarchs of the ,jewish people1 ,abraham1 ,sarah1 ,isaac1 ,rebecca1 ,jacob1 and ,leah1 and is the second most holy site in ,judaism2 ,whereas the ,cave of the ,patriarchs sits within a compound constructed by ,herod1 an ancient ,king of ,judea during the ,second ,temple ,period over #b1jjj years ago1 to serve as a place for ,jewish prayers at the grave sites of the ,patriarchs and ,matriarchs of ,judaism2 ,whereas the city of ,hebron and the ,cave of the ,patriarchs were conquered #gjj years ago by the ,mamluks1 who converted the ,judean compound into a mosque and forbade ,jews from entering2 ,whereas ,jews were prohibited from entering the ,cave of the ,patriarchs until ,hebron's liberation during the #aifg ,six-,day ,war1 after which it was re-established as a place where all religions could worship under certain restrictions2 ,whereas ,,unesco's minimization of ,jewish connections to ,hebron and the ,cave of the ,patriarchs is a politicization of world heritage2 ,whereas since ,palestine was admitted to ,,unesco in #bjaa1 the ,palestine ,liberation ,organization 7,,plo7 has been successful in efforts to have ,,unesco designate the ,church of the ,nativity in ,bethlehem and the ,cultural ,landscape of ,southern ,jerusalem1 ,battir as ,palestinian ,world ,heritage ,sites in ,danger2 ,whereas the ,united ,nations ,general ,assembly1 the ,united ,nations ,security ,council1 and other ,united ,nations agencies have purposefully and consistently pursued an anti-,israel agenda1 and have adopted numerous resolutions inherently biased against ,israel1 most recently including-- 7#a7 ,united ,nations ,world ,health ,assembly ,agenda ,item #ai1 adopted on ,may #bf1 #bjag1 which singled out only ,israel as a violator of mental1 physical1 and environmental health1 and asserted that ,israeli occupation was a major cause of the problems2 7#b7 a decision adopted by the ,,unesco ,executive ,board on ,may #b1 #bjag1 which significantly undermined ,israel's sovereignty in ,jerusalem and rejected all legislative and administrative measures taken by ,israel in the city as null and void1 rejected ,jewish ties to the ,temple ,mount1 the holiest place of the ,jewish people1 and condemned ,israeli conduct in ,gaza2 7#c7 language from the same ,may #b1 #bjag1 decision1 which expressed deep concern about the effects of attacks on schools and other educational and cultural facilities in ,gaza1 while notably ignoring the terrorist organization ,hamas' use of ,united ,nations ,relief and ,works ,agency for ,palestine ,refugees in the ,near ,east 7,,unrwa7 schools to store and fire rockets at ,israeli civilians2 7#d7 ,,unesco ,agenda ,item #ai1 adopted during the #aiith meeting of the ,executive ,board on ,april #ae1 #bjaf1 which notably omitted historic ,jewish ties to the ,temple ,mount and the ,western ,wall area in ,jerusalem's ,old ,city1 condemned ,israeli actions taken in response to ,palestinian violence1 and accused ,israel of placing ,jewish fake graves in the vicinity of the al-,aqsa mosque2 7#e7 the resolution adopted by the ,commission on the ,status of ,women on ,march #bd1 #bjag1 which singled out only ,israel and expressed grave concern about the increased difficulties being faced by ,palestinian women and girls and deplored the dire economic and social conditions of ,palestinian women and girls2 and 7#f7 ,united ,nations ,security ,council ,resolution #bccd1 adopted on ,december #bc1 #bjaf1 which condemned ,israeli settlement activity as a flagrant violation of international law without distinguishing between ,jewish holy sites and remote settlements in the ,west ,bank2 ,whereas since its creation in ,june #bjjf1 the ,united ,nations ,human ,rights ,council has passed #fg resolutions condemning ,israel1 more than all other countries combined2 ,whereas the ,united ,nations ,general ,assembly adopted #bj resolutions at the end of #bjaf singling out or condemning ,israel2 and ,whereas anti-,israel resolutions adopted by the ,united ,nations and its agencies undermine and cause significant damage to the ,israeli-,palestinian ,peace ,process3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the ,house of ,representatives-- 7#a7 disapproves of the ,united ,nations ,educational1 ,scientific and ,cultural ,organization 7,,unesco7 ,world ,heritage ,committee inscription of ,hebron as a ,palestinian ,world ,heritage ,site in ,danger2 7#b7 rejects any future resolution considered by the ,united ,nations ,general ,assembly1 ,united ,nations ,security ,council1 or other ,united ,nations agencies that is inherently anti-,israel or seeks to impose a solution on final status issues related to the ,israeli-,palestinian ,peace ,process2 and 7#c7 strongly urges members of the ,united ,nations and its agencies to refrain from further inflaming tensions in ,israel and the ,palestinian territories with historically revisionist and anti-,israel resolutions4
