the World Heritage List, so when UNESCO themselves ignore facts and change the history of a site, it shows there is corruption within the organisation.
This corruption is caused by anti-Israel politics which is fuelled by anti-Semitism. UNESCO is a committee within the United Nations. Representatives from different countries preside over the committee and vote on resolutions. Anti-Israel governments are using UNESCO to score political points against Israel and in doing so they are eroding the reputation of UNESCO and changing the historical facts.
Sadly, UNESCO resolutions are responsible for removing the Hebrew names from some
of Judaisms most holy sites. The Temple Mount is no longer named by its Hebrew name, but instead only by its Islamic name, “Haram Al Sharif ”. The Tomb of the Patriarchs, which contains the graves of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is now listed by UNESCO as a “Palestinian site”. And Rachel’s Tomb is referred to as a “mosque”.
The danger of these actions is that the

vast majority of governments and educational organisations see UNESCO as a trusted and reliable source of information.
This is why we need to equip ourselves with the facts and spread the truth far and wide. The land of Israel and the city of Jerusalem were given to the Jewish people as an eternal inheritance.
The Bible declares it. God commands it. Nothing man does will ever change this truth. As the Bible declares, “If men will not praise and recognise Me, the very rocks will cry out...” (Luke 19:40)
Archaeologists are discovering treasures in the land of Israel that unlock the pages of the Bible. These discoveries overwhelmingly point to the fact that the Jewish people were present in the land of Israel for more than 3,000 years. Israel is their land, they do not occupy the land they own it.
Ironically, the more these global bodies try to say Israel is not the Jewish people’s land, the more the rocks “cry out”, unearthing the truth for all to see.
