UNESCO has just passed a resolution that damage inflicted on religious sites in Judea and Samaria by the IDF are a crime against human culture.

I would say that UNESCO is a crime against human culture.

What if the 250 terrorists holed up in the Church of Nativity inflict damage to the building? That's OK, I suppose, according to UNESCO.

What if terrorists use such religious sites as cover to shoot from? That's OK, I suppose, according to UNESCO.

What about Jewish religious sites, such as Joseph's Tomb and Jericho's ancient synagogue being destroyed and mutilated?That's OK, I suppose, according to UNESCO.

What about all the Jewish synagogues being attacked around the world, including the one in Tunisia today, where five people lost their lives? That's OK, I suppose, according to UNESCO.

For those of you that don't know, UNESCO stands for

United Nations (an impartial world body who we should trust and obey)
Educational,
Scientific and
Cultural
Organization

For those of you the don't recognize an oxymoron when you see one, this is a good example.

In case you didn't know what UNESCO does, this is from What is UNESCO (http://www.unesco.org/general/eng/about/what.shtml):

"The main objective of UNESCO is to contribute to peace and security in the world by promoting collaboration among nations through education, science, culture and communication in order to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations."

For those of you the don't recognize hypocracy when you see it, this is a good example.
