UNESCO don’t give a **** – Pope Francis says God promised Holy Land to Jews
Straight Outta Egypt
This is a follow up to our prior post, UNESCO hardest hit: 2700 year old Hebrew papyrus mentions Jerusalem.
JNS reports, Pope Francis says God promised the Holy Land to Jews:
Pope Francis declared that God promised the Holy Land to the people of Israel in a speech at the Vatican in Rome Wednesday.
“The people of Israel, who from Egypt, where they were enslaved, walked through the desert for 40 years until they reached the land promised by God,” Pope Francis said, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Francis made the statement shortly before meeting with Israeli Deputy Minister for Regional Cooperation Ayoub Kara, where he thanked him for his work on behalf of Christians in Israel.
The statement by the pontiff came just hours after UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee passed a resolution ignoring Jewish and Christian ties to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. The resolution, which was similar to a previous resolution passed Oct. 13 by the body’s Executive Committee, exclusively referred to the Temple Mount by its Muslim names.

The Holy Land will be held by he who has the biggest guns and the strongest will to use them. Pretty much a timeless truism.
And this is as old as Man, there. If you read Exodus and Time magazine side by side, it’s easy to lose track of which is which. Even the place names are the same.
Perhaps, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee ought to be sent a copy of vid. Maybe, it might get through to them. Certainly, all other venues seemed to have failed.
Hmmmmm, is the Pope Jewish?
Well, Jesus was.
UNESCO doesn’t care about one infidel endorsing another.

God is giving speeches at the Vatican? Best listen up.
And the Clovis people were in the Americas 13,000 years ago. Are you packing? Actually artifacts would seem to be more powerful evidence than a piece of papyrus.
Besides, when the Israelites arrive in Canaan, the Bible tells us it was occupied. They killed and conquered the locals. Did they set a precedent for how you decide who owns the land?
On the other hand, the Arabs do say they will take Palestine, ‘God willing’. It hasn’t occurred to them that god may not be willing. So far he been.
So much for justifying any position in the Middle East.
If you want to argue that they set a precedent, think about ’48, ’67, and ’73. By that measure they own the land, not the “Palestinians”.
