The UN and their terror axis are clearly counting on Biden to sign off on the jihad against the Jews.
The Temple Mount refers to the elevated plaza above the Western Wall in Jerusalem that was the site of both of Judaism’s ancient temples.
The Temple Mount, known in Hebrew as Har Habayit, is traditionally said to be the site where Abraham demonstrated his devotion to God by taking his son Isaac to be sacrificed. The mount is also the site of both ancient Jewish temples. The first, built by King Solomon, was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The second was built in the sixth century BCE and stood for nearly 600 years before it was destroyed and the Jewish people exiled in 70 CE by the Roman Empire. Jews continue to mourn the destruction on the fast day of Tisha B’Av. According to Jewish tradition, a third temple will be built on the site during the messianic age.

As the site for a future temple, David chose Mount Moriah, or the Temple Mount, where it was believed Abraham had built the altar on which to sacrifice his son Isaac. The First Temple was constructed during the reign of David’s son, Solomon, and completed in 957 bce.
UN resolution: Call Temple Mount solely by its Muslim name
By: Elad Benari Israel National News, November 5, 2020:
A United Nations General Assembly committee on Wednesday adopted a resolution that referred to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount solely by its Muslim name of Haram al-Sharif, the UN Watch NGO reported.
The Temple Mount resolution was one of seven resolutions passed by the General Assembly that single out or condemn Israel, with zero on the entire rest of the world.
One of the other texts approved on Wednesday condemns Israel for “repressive measures” against Syrian citizens in the Golan Heights, another renews the mandate of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), while another renews the mandate of the UN’s “special committee to investigate Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people and other Arabs of the Occupied Territories.”
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, presented arguments against the anti-Israel resolutions, calling them outdated and maintaining they do nothing but perpetuate the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In his remarks, Erdan highlighted why the UN has continually failed to solve the conflict.
“One of the biggest reasons for the UN’s failure in ending the conflict is its continued support of UNRWA,” he said. “Simply put, UNRWA’s very existence makes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict unsolvable, and I don’t intend to allow business as usual anymore.”
Erdan pointed out how UNRWA uses its schools to spread hatred and antisemitism, inciting Palestinian children to violence, promoting terrorism and questioning Israel’s right to exist.
The Israeli Ambassador also criticized the UN’s refusal to refer to Judaism’s holiest site as the Temple Mount, saying that by using only the sacred esplanade’s Islamic name was an “audacious attempt to rewrite history” and erase the centuries old Jewish connection to Jerusalem.
“As Minister of Public Security, I ensured that all religions had access to Jerusalem’s holy sites,” said Erdan. “During my term, the number of Jews visiting the Temple Mount each year more than tripled. No resolution passed here will stop that process. No resolution passed here will change the eternal connection between the Jewish people and the holiest site of our faith – the Temple Mount.”
Erdan pushed committee members to reconsider their blind support of these annual resolutions.
“What is the point of these resolutions? Just to pave the way for future resolutions?” he asked. “By supporting these resolutions you are not only wasting UN resources, you are also sabotaging any changes of future peace.”
Israel’s mission to the UN noted that Every year, the General Assembly adopts a package of about 20 anti-Israel resolutions, including renewing the mandate of biased Palestinian committees. Israel views this as part of a diplomatic effort led by the Palestinians to undermine its legitimacy.
The UN’s anti-Israel bias is well-documented. Three years ago, its cultural body UNESCO approved a series of resolutions denying the Jewish connection to Jerusalem.
Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon several times admitted the UN’s anti-Israel bias, the first time being during a 2013 session with Israeli students.
Just before he stepped down from his role in 2016, Ban admitted that the UN has a “disproportionate volume of resolutions, reports and conferences criticizing Israel” and that “in many cases, rather than helping the Palestinian cause, this reality has hampered the ability of the UN to fulfill its role effectively.”

FACT CHECK PLEASE ….
If any nation is delinquent on its dues to the UN, it cannot vote.
How many nations are delinquent? Why are the rules ignored?
So, why is the USA fussed at when other nations are delinquent?
Just CLOSE the UN, until every nation pays to reopen it … seems fair to me …
…
” … The Trump administration owes the United Nations about $1 billion in payments at a time when the multilateral organization said it is facing its “worst cash crisis” in a decade, USA Today reports. The U.S. owes $381 million in back payments and $674 million for 2019. Of the $1.3 billion owed to the U.N. by member states, the U.S. is responsible for more than $1 billion.
A U.S. mission official told USA Today that the administration will pay “the vast majority of what we owe to the regular budget this fall, as we have in past years.” President Trump, who has been an open critic of the U.N., weighed in Tuesday by tweeting: “So make all Member Countries pay, not just the United States!” …”

what is the purpose of the UN anymore, other than to bash the jews and america. it was a bad idea from day 1, and trump should just pull us out of it and cancel their lease in NY. if the rest of the world wants to continue this farce, have them meet in some garden spot like baghdad. that should pretty much be the end of the UN.

renews the mandate of the UN’s “special committee to investigate Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people and other Arabs of the Occupied Territories.”
What are these “Occupied Territories”? Whose territory is being occupied? Let’s see, back in the 1980’s, Jordan renounced their claim to it. The Brits washed their hands of the whole area in 1948. Ah- the Ottomans … they had it for 400 years, maybe Israel is occupying land belonging to the Ottoman Empire? Only problem is, there is no Ottoman Empire any more. Turkey …. Turkey, that’s it …. the entire area encompassed the the Mandate for Palestine belongs to Turkey! [that’s one turkey that’s bit fishy, I would say]
Just as an FYI for anyone who may be unfamiliar with the history of this area, there never was an Arab polity in the Holy Land. More than that, until well into the 20th century, there were no Arab “Palestinians”.

Speaking of “rewriting history”…I reject the accuracy of any author who rewrites history by changing the BC ” Before Christ” and AD “Annod Domini of our civilization’s Gregorian calendar to the Cultural-Marxist “BCE”/”CE” gibbirish.
