PA to UNESCO: Bethlehem's Church of Nativity in 'Palestine'

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The Palestinian Authority is making a bid to list the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem as located in the “country of Palestine.”
 
The issue arose with the question of whether to approve the registration of the church with the World Heritage Committee at its upcoming meeting in Russia, set for June 24 to July 6.
 
The Church was submitted under an emergency provision for endangered sites, and is among 36 such places under consideration for registration as a World Heritage site.
 
Israel did not dispute the worthiness of the Church as a potential site on the List, but rather laments the PA’s politicization of the cultural and historical process, said a government official in response.
 
On the UNESCO web site, one finds a report in which the International Council on Monuments and Sites comments that it “does not consider that the property can be considered to have been severely damaged or to be under imminent threat.” Therefore, the recommendation adds,  the application by the PA does not merit immediate action by the World Heritage Committee “that is necessary for the survival of the property” – ergo, the church will not make it to the List at least this time around.
 
This is the first time the committee has even considered registering any World Heritage site under the PA as a “country.” The only reason it has done so now came as a result of last October’s vote by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization that recognized “Palestine” as a member state.
 
The vote followed an attempt by the Palestine Liberation Organization — which enjoys observer status at the United Nations — to unilaterally win full membership for the Palestinian Authority as an independent, sovereign nation.
 
The ploy, led by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and which was intended to circumvent final status negotiations with the State of Israel, failed. Nevertheless, diplomatic gains were won, such as the UNESCO vote which now allows the PA full state rights in all UNESCO bodies — such as registering sites on the World Heritage List.

      The Dirtiest Revolution In History!
      CIA- Guided Reoccupation of Sinai and Division of Egypt By Hamas and Muslim Brothers!
      In the eyes of Zionists and Masonics, Mubarak was a bad leader, because he chose peace, avoided war, restored Egyptian Sinai and kept it for 30 years and tried to solve the Palestinian Issue by making 2 countries; one Israeli and one Palestinian!
      In the eyes of Hamas and Muslim Brothers of Ikhwan, Mubarak was also a bad leader, because he prevented Ikhwan from ruling Egypt, offering Sinai for free to their branch in Gaza (Hamas), repeating the bloody Revolution of Mullah Khomaini of Iran, which Mubarak saved Egypt from for 30 years too!
      In the eyes of Israel, Mubarak was their worst enemy , because he was a clever pilot who led Egyptian Army Forces in the War of 1973 and destroyed Israeli Air Forces in 6 hours, restored Sinai from Israel and deprived them from their dream of great Israel from Nile to Forates and refused to offer half of Sinai for Palestinians , so that Israel throw them away and occupy Gaza!
      In the eyes of Soros, Bilderberg Elite and Masonics of New World Order, Mubarak was an enemy , because he kept stability in Egypt and the whole region, prevented big wars that were planned to occur after Iraqi invasion for Kuwait, American war on Iraq, Israeli War on Lebanon in 2006 and Israeli War on Gaza in 2008!
      In the eyes of Shiite Mullah of Iran, Mubarak was an enemy, who saved Egypt from Khomaini like bloody revolution in 1982, which was planned by Ikhwan and Shiite, guided by CIA, and helped by Al Qaeda! That revolution was tried many times by Ikhwan, who tried also hundred times to kill Mubarak, like they killed Sadat!
      The scenario made in 1982, was repeated in 2011 and succeeded because of the use of media, modern technology and Internet! All the steps and plans of spreading snipers and killers at the same time, surrounding, attacking and burning TV, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Defense, killing of Policemen and Army, were exactly repeated in 2011! Shiite of Iran plan to spread the Shiite Islam instead of Sunni Islam in the Arab Countries and create agents who obey Mullah Shiite of Iran!
      In the eyes of Qatar, Mubarak was an obstacle too, because Qatar is the smallest Arab Country and its Prince Sheikh Hamad Ben Khalifa, was hated and disrespected for his intimate connections with Israel and Iran! He threw his father away and made Al Jazeera Channel, funded by CIA, Soros and Iran! Al Jazeera Channel was directed by Mossad and Zionist BBC, which used Arab persons to disfigure the Egyptian History, leaders, victories and to promote for Muslim Brothers!
      Sheikh Al Qaradawy; Muslim Brothers who was thrown out of Egypt to Qatar, led the campaign to promote Ikhwan and to attack Mubarak! They used all kinds of fabrications, false lies and tricks for deception, till many people believed what they said!
      Muslim Brothers of Ikhwan, were the first Islamic Radicalist Movement in the world, which was created by MI6 in Egypt to help the British occupation in Egypt! They were extremely violent and made explosions and killings against Egyptians and Jews! They made the first Cairo Fire, in 1952, and burnt most of Cairo to punish Egyptian Police, who bravely resisted the British Occupation!
      Muslim Brothers were the teachers and trainers of Khomaini, through the terrorist books of Sheikh Sayed Qotb of Ikhwan, who encouraged killing leaders, policemen, soldiers, Christians and non –Ikhwani Muslims! Al Qaeda terrorists originated from Ikhwan, and Ayman Al Zawaheri of Al Qaeda was an Ikhwan, who traveled to Saudi Arabia then Afghanistan! Muslim Brothers branch killed President Anwar Al Sadat, who made Victory in 1973 and made the Peace Agreement with Israel to restore Sinai!
      Hamas, are the branch of Muslim Brothers in Gaza, Palestine, they are more violent and terrorist and tried hundred tricks to force Palestinians to Sinai to occupy Sinai and that was why they made revenge from Mubarak and Al Adely, Ministry of Interior , who saved Egypt from Hamas! That was also the reason , why Hamas helped Ikhwan of Egypt to get rid of Mubarak Regime to be rewarded with Sinai!
      Sheikha Moza of Qatar, is trying to buy Suez Canal from Ikhwan , to sell it to Israel and Britain again, after President Gamal Abdel Nasser restored it for Egyptians in 1956! Moza had paid Billions for activists, Media People, snipers of Blackwater, Malta Knights, Iranian Revolutionary Guards, 6 April Movement, Elbaradei front of change and criminals to kill, burn, destroy and make unrest to make an economic collapse in Egypt, to force Egyptians to sell their country!
      The Non Governmental Organizations and Human Rights Orgnizations, which are funded by Soros, are always on the side of anyone who works for the benefit of Israel and USA! That Is why they suddenly started to describe the Ikhwan and Hamas , as moderate non radicalist non terrorist groups! That is why they defend activists and threaten army and police that NATO is ready to occupy Egypt , if they arrest these innocent protesters!
      Every day, Egyptian Police arrests snipers from different countries entering Egypt with weapons, cars from Libya and Sudan full of war weapons, ships from Red Sea, Undergrounds from Gaza, full of terrorists and weapons entering Egypt! USA is always shut up, when activists make crimes and terrorism but is always ready to comment when they fabricate anything against police and army!
      Omar Afifi, an Egyptian former policeman, refugee in Virginia, was an agent for Qatar, Iran and CIA! He was giving orders for terrorism through videos and Facebook to his groups in Egypt and USA refused to deliver him to Egyptian Interpol! He was arrested and brought to Egypt through a secret operation! USA Embassy in Cairo, played a major role in adding agents, planning, funding, directing and in running over protesters in Tahrir after Mubarak speech!
      All kinds of money, abusive drugs, food and attraction were offered to protesters to remain in the streets! Whenever the funding stopped for 4 weeks, after the scandal of illegal funding of USA for NGO, against Egyptian National Security, all gatherings and unrest disappeared! Then when Qatar and Iran sent more Billions, it all started again! Iran is the secret friend of Israel, wishing to create Great Shiite Faresi Iran , beside Great Israel in the New Middle East, on the dead bodies of Arabs, Egyptians, Christians and Sunni Muslims! Most of activists , 6 April, Ultras, Socialists, Communists, Anarchists and Ikhwan are related to Qatar and Iran!
      In every step, where Egyptians agreed to make elections, USA tried to ruin it through Elbaradei and his people! Now USA knows exactly that Hamas terrorists were spread in all Egyptian cities on the roofs of certain buildings, waiting to burn thousand buildings, kill millions, and facilitate the reoccupation of Sinai and Suez Canal! Ikhwan promised USA to destroy Egyptian economy, police and army, to replace them with terrorist groups of Ikhwan, to kill Christians, to be another excuse for USA to invade, and divide Egypt, like what Ikhwan of Sudan did!
      Human Rights are shut up and they dare not say that Mubarak should be released for his illness and advanced age!
      This is all the dirty game played by USA and Israel against Egypt and Arabs! This is the reality of USA and the real meaning of its Democracy and Freedom! Obama must start a new war to guarantee his success in elections and Israel is waiting for Ikhwan to rule Egypt or for Hamas to invade Sinai, to say that Egypt is dangerous for Israel and war must be made with reoccupation of Sinai! Even if a false war is planned between the 2 friends; Israel and Iran, it will be played in Sinai and Gulf Countries so that Israel reoccupy Sinai and Iran occupy Gulf Countries!
      If you think that it is none of your own business, then you are totally wrong, because these Elite will rule the whole world in a few years and will kill two thirds of human beings, including you and me!
