…For an example of the chronic post-Jewish Israeli desire to have, as Bibi wrote, a place among the nations, Israel’s ambassadress to UNESCO, one Carmel Shama Hacohen, according to JPost hard copy today, called the UNESCO draft resolution a “total Islamization of a site that is revered by both Jews and Muslims.”

I disagree. This is waving the banner of ecumenical, mutual respect between religions, when the Arabs are light-years from thinking like that. (Well, maybe not light years; last webcast there was story out of Abu Dhabi about government support for building a Hindu temple.)

Here is a likely post-Jewish Israeli diplomat signing off on the equality of Jewish and Muslim reverence for this site, to which I say, “Nonsense.” If the Muslims revered this site, they would not let their kids play soccer on the plateau. They would not pelt Jews innocently visiting with rock and firebombs. This is reverence? And in any case, reverence for what? What exactly is Haram a-Sharif’s message? What holiness deserving of reverence is connected to this site by Muslims?
