Another welcome event: UNESCO long ago went beyond its original purpose, to promote cultural and educational efforts, especially through the preservation of sites of historic and cultural importance around the world, and in the last decade has been making pronouncements and taking actions that are, as Trump says, “anti-American” and “anti-Israeli.” The UN agency published […]
Turkey renovates historic Armenian Cathedral of Ani, will reopen it as a mosque
Appropriating the houses of worship and sacred sites of conquered people is a core mission of Islam. It shows the victory of Allah and the superiority of Islam over other religions. That’s why this keeps happening, all over the world. Look at Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Damascus, […]
Will This Blow Up NATO?
New in PJ Media: Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Turkey has long coveted the Greek Aegean islands in the disputed waters between the two countries, and now it has made its claim official.

UNESCO finds ISIS-era bombs in Mosul mosque walls, Iraqi authorities evacuate complex and disarm devices
It should be obvious to all in the West by now that Islamic wars (past and current) are not remotely conventional. Anything goes in the way of jihad, including the use of jihadis’ own communities as human shields, as seen in Gaza and Lebanon. Jihadis will hide weapons (and fighters) anywhere — from mosques and […]
In request to UNESCO, Palestinian Authority admits there is no ‘Israeli occupation’
What will all the groups that make money by claiming there is an Israeli occupation that they’re “resisting” do now? Ignore this and continue their deceptive activities. “The Palestinian Authority admits there’s no ‘Israeli occupation’ – opinion,” by Stephen M. Flatow, Jerusalem Post, October 1, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): The Israeli occupation […]
UNESCO votes to list ruins near Jericho as World Heritage Site in ‘Palestine’
This is not the first and will likely not be the last “Palestinian” use of UNESCO, which is a willing partner to this subterfuge, to erase the historical Jewish presence from the land of Israel. Hugh Fitzgerald provides background on this here. “UNESCO votes to list ruins near ancient Jericho as a World Heritage Site […]
The Palestinians Are Deliberately Destroying As Much of Israel’s Jewish History As They Can
UNESCO has rewritten history in the Land of Israel before. It has declared the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism — which it refers to only by its Arabic name, Al-Haram Al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) — as an exclusively Muslim holy site. And now Jericho is about to be given similar treatment by UNESCO, […]
UNESCO About to Name Jericho as a ‘Palestinian Heritage Site’
The Palestinians have for decades been laying claim to “Palestine” as their ancient homeland, “from the river to the sea” This has meant ignoring the evidence, in 35,000 archeological sites throughout Israel and the West Bank, of the Jewish presence in the land since 2000 B.C. All those Jewish synagogues that have been unearthed, all […]
Israel: Palestinians destroy ancient ruins, pave road over First Temple relics, burial caves
Back in December, when he visited an historic site dating back to the First Temple period, where pillars still stand and the remains of King Herod’s “giant theater from the Second Temple period” can be seen, MK Rabbi Amichai Eliyahu, who is now Israel’s Heritage Minister, warned that Arabs were “erasing history” in ancient Samaria […]
Blinken says U.S. will rejoin anti-Israel UNESCO, reopen ‘Palestinian’ consulate in Jerusalem
The world is on fire, but Biden’s handlers are not too busy to enable and embolden the jihad. “Blinken: US will rejoin anti-Israel UNESCO, establish Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem,” JNS, April 30, 2022: Israel has no objection to an U.S. return to UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, U.S. Secretary of State Antony […]
