The UN General Assembly votes that the Jews must leave historical Jerusalem
By Andrea Widburg
If it were not for the Jews, Jerusalem would be just another ancient city buried under the sand and forgotten. However, ever since King David’s time, around 1000 B.C., the Jewish Bible has kept alive the Jewish commitment to that city, especially the area around the Western Wall, for 3,000 years. Christianity, too, has a tie to the ancient city that cannot be erased by time, for it was there that the corporeal Jesus walked, preached, suffered, was buried, and was resurrected.
Mohammed, by contrast, was never in Jerusalem. He just dreamed about it. That was enough, though, for a huge majority of the UN’s member states to agree that Jerusalem’s old city must become a Jew-free Muslim enclave. (And of course, as Bethlehem and Nazareth show, once the Muslims take over, the Christians go, too.)
Thanks to the fact that the UN recently accorded a seat in the General Assembly to a representative from the imaginary “State of Palestine,” the UN has voted that Jews must be removed from Old Jerusalem:
Jerusalem’s Old City, in addition to Judea and Samaria, must be Judenrein within a year, according to a Palestinian-drafted resolution, which the U.N. General Assembly passed on Wednesday.
The resolution, which passed by a 124-14 margin with 43 abstentions, is meant to give force to a July advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice, which declared Israeli presence to be illegal in any area over the 1949 armistice line.

The resolution calls on the Israel Defense Forces to withdraw completely from Judea and Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip within 12 months, which means evacuating all Jewish communities beyond the armistice line, including Jerusalem’s Old City.
It also bans arms sales to the IDF of any equipment that would be expected reasonably to be used in the territory over the 1949 lines and calls for a boycott of all products produced by Jews in those areas.more
