Here are a couple more links I forgot to include in yesterday’s post on UNESCO’s bogus resolution on Jerusalem’s history.
 
The first is an Elder of Zion post from 2013 that proves – in a Muslim writer’s own words from the 15th century – that they were well aware of the Jewish history of the Temple Mount site.

(A) 15th century book by Jalal-addín [or Shams al-Dîn] al Síútí, translated in 1836 by James Reynolds, shows that Muslim tradition believed without a shred of doubt that the Al Aqsa mosque was built on the spot of both Jewish Temples.

In case you were wondering which countries voted for this travesty, UN Watch has the results. One delegate does deserve high praise for his principled stand against the resolution ~ Mexico’s UNESCO envoy walked out to protest Islamist resolution on Jerusalem, now may get fired ~

Andrés Roemer Slomianski, Mexico’s newly-arrived ambassador to UNESCO in Paris, is not only a diplomat, political analyst, attorney, economist, think tank founder, and author of 16 books and two award-winning plays.
 
He is also a hero.
 
When it came time last Thursday for 58 country representatives on the UNESCO executive board to vote on an Arab-drafted resolution that effectively denied Jewish ties to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and the Western Wall—by using Islamic terms only for Judaism’s holiest sites—Mexico was one of only 24 states that voted for the pernicious text. (Full UN Watch analysis and country voting sheet here.)
 
Yet Ambassador Roemer, who is Jewish, had already walked out of the hall. Out of conscience, he could not bring himself to carry out his government’s instructions and support the outrageous resolution; one of his deputies had to cast the vote instead.

Unfortunately, he did get fired. But at the same time – surprisingly – Mexico said it would change its vote from approval to an official “abstention” in recognition of the “undeniable” Jewish cultural heritage in Jerusalem. Perhaps Slomianski’s principled stand will encourage many more to reject this nonsense as well.
