PA Antiquities and Culture official Hamdan Taha said the PA's non-member status was behind UNESCO’s rejection of a request last year to declare the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem as a heritage site.
"This is a simple example of how Palestine has not been able to preserve its cultural heritage through the tools granted to every state in the world," Taha said. Although the church is clearly a Christian site, and Christians have been brutally driven out of Bethlehem in recent years, PA historians claim that Jesus was a Palestinian.

And Mohammad was Jewish and Arafat a heterosexual.
But then Arafat's love of boys may mean he was Catholic /sarc

Let's see how long UNESCO lasts without U.S. funding.
Better yet, let's make the WHO a separate organization and defund the entire UN :)

This is just another type of Jihad by the Arabs. Theft and subversion of historical facts.

Uh, the Dead Sea Scrolls anyone.
Sigh.
This is going to be a long ugly process. Here, Palestine, you can have Texas. Texas can move over next door to Israel, ( you would think they were cousins according to Hagee.)
There problem solved, can we just have some peace.
Pssst, is this only about commercial property, and future tourisim? Oy Vey!

It is crap like that that makes it so hard for me to feel bad for Palestinians, that and the whole rockets thing. Don't get me wrong, I am no fan of Israel either, but trying to rewrite history just kind of makes me mad.
