A colleague protests the honoring of Shimon Peres because he was “the prime instigator of Israel’s Judaization of the Galilee.” I wonder sometimes if people even hear themselves.
“Judaization of the Galilee”, “Ukrainization of Kiev”, “Americanization of New York.” And butter is very buttery.
United Nations UNESCO body has passed a resolution put forth by the Palestinians denying all connection between Jews and Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. There were 26 abstentions, 24 supported, and six – including the US – who voted against the resolution.
…
It should be noted that not a single European nation voted for the initiative.
The countries of France, Sweden, Slovenia, India, Argentina, and Togo at first were going to vote for the resolution saying that Jews have no connection to Jerusalem, but were convinced to abstain from voting in the end.

Have you seen the text of the resolution? Because I Googled and there is no text. It sounds, from the many retellings, that the resolution actually does recognize the centrality of Jerusalem to Jews. But you need the actual text to know for sure what it says.
