U.S. Envoy Warns Anti-Israel Bias, Bureaucracy Crippling UNESCO

41

The leading American envoy for the United Nations Environmental, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, said anti-Israel bias is so rampant that the group is unable to bring forth any sort of beneficial measure or matter at all.

UNESCO must reform — or else face crumbling relevance on the international stage, warned America’s envoy to the U.N. body.

Chris Hegadorn, the U.S. envoy, said in one of America’s final speeches to the organization — final, because President Donald Trump has withdrawn from UNESCO, beginning next year — that the bureaucratic bloat and bias is mind-boggling.

He warned that America’s departure from UNESCO is simply a sign of how rotten the group has become, and that speedy reform is necessary.

From the Associated Press (h/t Breitbart):

The chief U.S. envoy at UNESCO says anti-Israel bias and opaque bureaucracy are hobbling the U.N. cultural agency and is urging deep reforms.

Chris Hegadorn made the appeal Saturday at the agency’s Paris headquarters in one of the last major American speeches to UNESCO before the U.S. withdraws next year.

Hegadorn said the decision to leave “wasn’t taken lightly” but was necessary because of budget reasons, UNESCO’s inclusion of Palestine as a member and countries using the agency to advance their political agendas.

He urged UNESCO to speed up spending decisions and do more to prevent violent extremism through education, notably on social media.

He said the U.S. will remain “a determined advocate for the ideals on which UNESCO was founded” and support heritage protection and educational efforts.

And what exactly Mohammedans are sacrificing during their “Festival of Eid”? Apparently they don’t need any “temple” for that: rivers of blood of slaughtered animals are floating the streets! And how we should call them and “anyone supporting” that?

To be against the apartheid, the oppression and the pursuit of that stupid temple (zion) is not against any semitic languages, it is being honest that the oppression is just wrong and then the intent of the stupid temple is on the edge of neanderthal.
Jews are the good guys and have been voicing againt ‘zionism since inception but MORONS don’t know any better.

Per the problem of growing anti-Israel, anti-Jewish movement inside the United Nation (not only for UNESCO) the Jews should start looking at their own selves of what has gone wrong

IT IS THE JEWS WHO GAVE SUPPORT TO THE ISLAMISTS who are anti-Jews

In US, in Europe, in Russia and many place else in the world, THE LIBERAL JEWS are the one giving financial aid, and tactical guidances to moslems, BECAUSE THOSE LIBERAL GODLESS JEWS BELIEVE THAT HUMANITY IS MORE HOLIER THAN GOD

In other words, if the Jews insist on supporting those who want to kill them, then all the Jews will end up slaughtered

I am not a Jew, and I am very puzzled by the insanity of the Jews

USESCO told israel, that the mount has no temple on it so calling it a temple mount, is stupid.

””””””’

Unesco’s executive board approved the Arab-sponsored resolution, which repeatedly refers to only the Islamic name for a hilltop complex which is also the holiest site in Judaism.

The site is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and Haram al-Sharif to Muslims.

The resolution caused Israel to freeze co-operation with Unesco last week.

The stated aim of the text was “the safeguarding of the cultural heritage of Palestine and the distinctive character of East Jerusalem”.

It criticises Israel’s activities at holy places in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.

“”””
Zionist require the site, to build a temple and return to animal sacrificing (red heifer).
That is the ‘red line’ of the middle east divide and about neanderthal to even support zionism.

The Zionists should remove the filthy old mosques that are on the site and build a new Temple.

Not the beautiful Dome of the Rock, which looks like the Byzantine style shrine (not any mosque) that it probably was.
“Al-Malik wanted to await the Messiah’s return in a new Basilica located at the site where the old Temple of Salomon in Jerusalem used to be. He started the construction project “Dome of the Rock,” which he finished in AD 694. This building, which is distinguished by a basic octagonal structure with Christian symbolic character, was undoubtedly built as a Christian Holy Shrine.

Pay attention, the l-Aqsa mosque should go but the recent research shows that the Dome of the Rock was not a mosque and the inscriptions inside have been correctly re-translated properly using Syro-Aramaic instead of simply Arabic. This along with the established fact that Mecca (not even on any 7th century map) was not “The Sacred City” or the “Mother of Cities” (as Koran says) becoming better known should help even Muslims see Islam as a deliberate 8th century Abbasid fabrication. See Peter Townsend’s devastating “Questioning Islam”.

In any event, it would still be a good idea to dispose of it due to its connection with islam. muslims have no problem destroying art and history, disposing of an edifice dedicated to the criminal insanity of islam should happen.

The oppression is what to hate, but the ignorant do not see the suffering. For example; the pursuit of that temple, at the expense of human oppression, hate and extremism, is just wrong.
There is not temple on that mount and animal sacrificing is over.

UNESCO designated the dome of the rock and mount, as a global heritage site.
That means, the world is protecting the site from being torn down, to build (aka..rebuild) a temple and return to the ritual of holocaust.
The extremist, must have the site and what is weird is more christians support the pursuit of the mount, than jews by a huge margin, and romans and christians torn it down in the first place because the rituals are about neanderthal.
Israel must end zionism and the zionist terror.

Jew hating activities of UNESCO aside, it is no longer relevant in it’s original purpose. For the past decade many sites around the world have fought to NOT have UNESCO designate their cherished local site . They have found that when a local site is designated by UNESCO it results in a massive increase of tourists which result in an increase in deterioration because of the increase in traffic. Think Stonehenge in England and Ayers Rock in Australia. Both places have suffered some degradation from tourists that both are no longer open for close up visiting . Instead they have fences that allow people to view them from a distance only.
Being designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO is no longer a positive achievement.
