Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UN: 138 countries approve draft resolution that speaks of Temple Mount solely as an Islamic holy site

Nov 7, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 19 Comments

The UN’s anti-Israel, anti-Western pro-Organization of Islamic Co-operation bias is not new. Its brazenness, however, as America continues to provide it with the largest financial contributions in the world, is becoming increasingly harder to ignore. This UN resolution also (again) delegitimizes Israel:

The resolution was titled, “Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including east Jerusalem.”

“UN speaks of Temple Mount as solely Muslim site, ignores Jewish ties,” by Tovah Lazaroff, Jerusalem Post, November 5, 2020:

Some 138 United Nations countries approved a draft resolution that spoke of the Temple Mount solely as an Islamic holy site, by referencing it only by its Muslim name of al-Haram al-Sharif.

It was one of seven pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel resolutions that the UN General Assembly’s Fourth Committee in New York passed on Wednesday.

The resolution was titled, “Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including east Jerusalem.”

The text did affirm the connection between Jerusalem and three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Still the reference in the text to the Temple Mount, the location of the ancient Jewish Temple and the most holy site in Judaism, solely by its Muslim name is viewed as an attempt by UN member states to delegitimize and erase that well known history.

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan called the passage of the text “a disgrace.” He added, “No resolution passed here will change the eternal connection between the Jewish people and the holiest site of our faith – Har HaBayit, the Temple Mount,” Erdan said.

“For years, the Palestinians have promoted language that includes only the Muslim term of “Haram al-Sharif” and purposely excludes the Jewish name – Temple Mount,” he said.

Nine countries, including Israel, voted against the resolution. These were: Australia, Canada, Guatemala, Hungary, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and the United States….

    Expert con-men, they create many many many small countries thus giving them so many votes at the UN.

    They have the twisted idea that whatever they steal, they own forever.

    Tthere are two words…that sound like “holy”…but aren’t… that apply to islam.

    islam is wholly evil and holey when it comes to anything good… Nothing “holy” can be found in islam.

    The U.N. is a part of satan’s beast. In the Bible Book of Revelation, there are several “beasts”…one from the “sea,” one “standing on the land,” and those with seven heads and ten horns, diadems (picturing rulership), etc.

    In Daniel, we are told that beasts represent nations and kingdoms. This is true of the beasts of Revelation.

    The U.N. is a large part of that beastly crowd that follows satan. So, it is no surprise that they want to give to islam and moslims what God gave to the Jews/Israelites thousands of years ago.

    Calling it a big, overripe orange wouldn’t make it so. Calling it by the word moslims use to say it belongs to them, doesn’t make it belong to them.
    Putting the word “holy” in any discussion of what moslims think is an insult to the word and it’s true meaning.

    The Bible says the “The heavens belong to God and the earth He has given to the sons of men.” God gave Jerusalem to the Jews and they built a Temple there…in the time of King Solomon… to be used in the worship of our Creator, Jehovah God. Solomon dedicated it to our God.

    moslims don’t own the earth and they don’t own Jerusalem. Theft by bloodshed and depravity doesn’t transfer rights to the murdering thieves. No matter what the U.N. says, writes, or thinks. It’s all from satan and he wants evil to rule…everywhere.

    138 countries, the OIC (Organization of Islamic Countries ) has 57 MEMBERS ( all of them Muslim countrie,or with at least a large proportion of Muslims).

    138-57=81 COUNTRIES

    Why did 81 NON-MUSLIM countries agree to such a stupid proposal?

      Because they are over-loaded with moslims…like the U.K., France, etc. and they don’t want those ingrates rioting and demanding that they say Jerusalem belongs to them. Violence and threats of violence are very strong motivators for the governments to give in.

      And many nations don’t like Israel…so why should they care if the Jews are excluded from owning what belongs to them? The Jews aren’t threatening them if they go along with the oic and the moslim demands.

      I was disappointed not to see India among those voting against this proposal. Unless she abstained from voting what will she say when Pakistan seeks to have the UN recognize the “wholly Islamic” character of the temple of Ram in Ayodya?

    UN is totally corrupt puppet being manipulated by OIC. The majority of non-Islamic world is very ignorant of Islam’s long-term goal of global domination and skillful deceptive strategies. Many ignore the fact that Jews had been in existence and living there since pre-Islamic times. Relentless efforts to portray Jews as occupiers by Muslims are yielding results for the Ignorant folks of the world. It is time for Israel and Jewish organizations to launch media campaign to counter this by using historic and factual truth.

      True enough but there are strong headwinds from the corrupt mainstream media / big tech / Leftist college student professors, influential imams, muslim brotherhood front organizations, etc…

    ………………….

    Just sickening–but given the UN’s appalling history, scarcely surprising. I didn’t think even they could get this many nations to go along with this, though.

    This is the Muslim Version: From

    The truth is Muhammad fell asleep, dreamt he flew from the Kabah (black Box), in Mecca, to the Temple at Jerusalem, on a beast whose size was between a donkey and a mule, with two wings in its thighs, which came up to its hoofs, and were set in them. Gabriel placed his hand on its head and said: O Buraq! are you not ashamed of what you are doing? Muhammad Flew to Jerusalem, with Gabriel on his back, as a child, we called it to Croggy on a bike, (two on it). There at Jerusalem Muhammad saw Abraham, Moses and Jesus, nice of them to turn up.

    There he went from the Mosque Dome of the Rock, to Paradise. Though how he did this when the Mosque was NOT built in Muhammad’s life, is difficult to see. This means the whole story is BOLLACKS! The whole thing proves material was put in later, some 200 years plus later. After going up and down like a faulty lift, he keeps arguing with Allah, on the advice of Moses to get the number of Prayers down to 5 a Day, like five portions of fruit and vegetables each day. There are several versions of Hadiths (Traditions bout Muhammad), regarding the Night Journey.

    So if I dream tonight about occupying The White House, it belongs to me, though I’ve never been there, or America. Joe Biden get OUT!!! It’s MINE, ALL MINE!!!

    The mega rich Middle Eastern Nations and OPEC are now in charge of the UN with all those countries in their pockets as they need the Oil to run their countries.
    Time to kick the UN out of the USA, they have an Office in Geneva they can use, best for Westerern Nations to walk away from this group as they wish for our money but not our values, or our beliefs, so in a word…
    Fuck em… okay thats two words…

    The way the UN manifests itself, is like a second edition of the League of Nation (Geneva) during the thirties. With one difference: The League of Nations consisted of civilized countries, and the UN resembles more a garbage bin, consisting mainly of shit-hole countries (Donald Trump’s description). In the late thirties was Czecho’-Slovakia the beaten dog. Everyone in the League of Nation was “Oh so angry” on the bad way the German minority of the Sudetenland was treated! Adolf Hitler got full permission to occupy the Sudetenland. Heim in Reich!. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9r5nRPHSZI Now in the 21th Century is Israel the beaten dog! Again, we have to deal with a bunch of lousy coward yellow belly appeasers. The place of Hitler is taken by Islam. Both are one of the same. Their peace is like the one of Goldfinger: A Kiss of Death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D1nK7q2i8I Though, there is also a big difference between Nazi Germany and Islam. There was an excellent reason to fear Nazi Germany. Germany was the upper top of the world in science, technology and military strength. Before WWII no year had passed without a German Noble Prize Winner or winners. The Germans had already TV broadcasting in 1936 (Olympic Games). They had scientists as the Rocket Man Werner von Braun. https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol-58-no-3/operation-paperclip-the-secret-intelligence-program-to-bring-nazi-scientists-to-america.html Most Islamic countries belong to the Third World, and most of their inhabitants are illiterates. Most Muslim immigrants to western countries are no scientists or technical stuff of any sort. They excel in terror attacks Jihad and crime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO9vBHZRBQ4
    However, Israel has no reason to fear any UN resolution. Whatever is decided upon, in this monkey’s theatre, has no meaning. The country is prepared for all resolutions. It stands in science, technology, cyber and military better than Czecho-Slovakia in the ’30.
