on this one."If the locations in which the mothers and fathers of the Hebrew people.... were buried 4000 yrs. ago are not part of Jewish heritage, then what is? " Thats their point , they are deligitamizing us. Islam is like an infectous desease running rife through Jewish life and society eating away at all we hold dear.

Israelis claim that the Torah was given to Moses in the Sinai Peninsula which belongs to Egypt. The claim of heritage sites all over Europe, Russia and Poland... Israelis used to live in Arabia also, but they were ejected out because of their characters’ of betrayal of honoring agreements. The fact of the matter that Abraham was born and came from Ur, Babylonia to Canaan, oh.. And there are some heritage sites, and the Babylonian holy book of the Israelis

You and the archbishop are nuttier than a Snickers bar. Since Jesus was Jewish, I guess his presence voided his validity. That would make Christ -- er -- invalid.

Don't forget that the Temple Mount is also integral to the history of the Jews. And while you're at it, please remember that ALL of the Promised Land belongs to the Jews. Israel is a Jewish nation and must stay that way!

As a young American Jew it is conforting to see the PM of Israel defend and support our mutual connection to these holy sites. The Jews of America are behind you 100%.

You're an idiot!

The Purpose of UN is To Fulfill Every Demand of Islam. It is a slap in the face to every non-Muslim that they are forced to finance the UN via their taxes. A UN that is rabidly anti-Free World, anti-Israel. And a UN that intensely hates the G-D of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Rachel's Tomb, the Tomb of the Patriarchs and the Temple Mount belong exclusively to Israel's G-D, NOT the god of Islam. There must be world-wide protests demanding that non-Muslim countries get out of the UN and also demanding that not one more infidel tax dollar is given to the Palestinian Authority who continually seek to steal G-D's Holy Land and Holy Places.

no christ didnot void the validity of jewish residence in the holyland.. what you speak of is called replacement theology ...and is bogus ...if you take tne bible literaly as Gods WORD... saint Paul makes that abundantly clear in Romans chapters 10 thru 12.

Pure and simple this illustrates the imperialistic impulse in Islam, which expanded out of Arabia conquering lands far afield and subjecting the indigenous populations to foreign imperialist rule in the name of "Allah." Islam confiscated and absorbed the religious and cultural heritage sites of numerous peoples, including the Jews, and called it their own. The non-Muslim peoples were subjected to humiliating discriminatory laws while their lands and heritage were stolen. Zionism is a rebellion against this unjust order, which is why Muslims hate Israel so much. Too bad! Viva la Revolucion!

Indeed! That mosk should have been razed the day Israel won the war! Big mistake showing largesse to this fanatical enemy.

Christian anti-Semitism rooted in the bigoted and triumphalist notion that Christianity replaced Judaism is the source of your know-nothingness, and of the ignorance of this Bustros. Millions of Jews were murdered by Christianity over the centuries, and to you and any other Christian anti-Semites I say to you: make my day!

UNESCO-ANTISEMITESCO

OMG! The Patriarchs/Matriarchs were Jewish? Who knew? They did not LOOK Jewish. Certainly UNESCO and the rest of the comical morons (apologies to decent morons everywhere) at the UN(in ALL it's manifestations and entities) wherever they may be, are well past it's sell by date for being tolerated. Ignore, defund and marginalize at every opportunity.

They don't have the authority to determine anybody's heritage sites. http://www.icomos.org/unesco/unesco_constitution.html

That's why you've now got ARABS claiming that these sites are theirs. That's why you've got ARABS pissing on Torah scrolls at Machpela, ripping apart Joseph's Tomb and repainting it green. If you allow Arabs to worship there, they will take it away from you. Do NOT give freedom of religion at Jewish sites to ANYONE except Jews. And while you're at it, get that abomination of a mosque off the JEWISH Temple Mount already.

Archbishop Cyril Salim Bustros is a clown. A moron. An idiot of a magnatude rarely seen even among his kind. Let him first prove that Jesus ever existed, then let him answer to the God of Israel for denying that Israel is the Promised Land for the Jews ETERNALLY as God says in the Torah.

...no borders, 1 world religion on offense, democracy on defense / how long can we withstand this force

Abraham went from Ur, SUMERIA. Ur was located in Southern Mesopotamia which was Sumer. Babylonia was mid and upper Mesopotamia. Sumer was the very first civilization known to mankind, and Abraham had his heritage from there. Egypt STOLE what it had from Sumer and its traditions. Abraham had the original.

The PM is right. No external entities have a right to play god on Israel. Israel can tell the dark forces to go to Hell for messing up with the Land of Israel which is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to the Jewish Nation. GOD'S Covenant with Israel and the Land of Israel is EVERLASTING.

Jesus would declare to the Papist Pagans, "...I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness" (tampered and broke GOD'S Ten Commandments). Matthew 7:21-23.

I love you

It began with "Philistina", continued with "west bank" and now they're trying to eradicate our history. If ever there was a declaration of war, this is it. It's time for Israel to flush the UN from its midst; jeeps, camps, envoys, trucks, offices and whatever else exists with the UN label. Time, also, to abandon the UN and stand alone.

Does that mean they can claim sovereignty over the lands? Borders have changed over the centuries. We can't all go back to Africa. In the 1940s nations decided to adopt civilized laws which among other things stipulate you can't keep what you acquired by war. End of story. It's not that difficult to understand.

We need to make one thing clear to Unesco :Rachel's is the mother of jews and spiritually of christians too,while is not for muslims,has their mother is Agar and Agar tomb is in Egypt.So the mosque should be remouved has anyone get's is own mother tomb ... I would not want to keep Obama's mother tomb....he can keep it for himself!!!!So muslims are claiming thing that do not belong to them...Remouve all mosque from Israel and Christian Heritage site..

You have proved my point when you say that lands conguered since 1940 cannot be held by the conqueror. Jordan took over the Shomron as well as Judea and all of Jerusalem in 1948 war. Israel merely regained its own lands in 1967. Not only are the sites Jewish (and Israeli) heritage sites, they stand on land that must belong to the Jews

Abraham and his 3 wives (Sarah, Hagar, and Ketura), Ishaak and his wives, and Jacob and his wives are all foreigner refugees from Ur in Iraq. These people are not from Palestine (Canaan), but rather we Palestinians welcomed them as foreign guests. The hebrews have no historical claim to Palestine as the Canaanites and Philistines lived on this land for centuries before Abraham was even born. These are the facts!

Such a law is uncivilised and not binding when applied to a nation that fights a defensive war and wins it, with more land to boot.. as in the case of Israel. In your mind then, a country can attack another, lose land yet get it back after the cease fire ...Sorry buster, the world doesn't work that way.

so, it is not all about Jewish land. It is about greed, no more, no less. Was Haifa/TA biblical land? Certainly!, the land of milk and honey is thousands of miles away from present Israel.

ISRAEL WOULD NOT ONLY OWN THE PRESENT LAND OF THE ISRAEL STATE , AND THE WEST BANK OF THE JORDAN RIVER............... BUT ALSO ISRAEL WOULD THEN OWN IRAQ THROUGH ABRAHAM AND HIS DESCENDENTS.
