Israel’s ancient high court, the
Sanhedrin, now reborn, has issued a statement warning the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization not to try to
interfere with – or change – the history linked to the Temple Mount.
A report by Breaking Israel News
says the U.N. agency wants to adopt a resolution at its current
meetings in Istanbul that would declare the Temple Mount, site of the
ancient Jewish temples, is “sacred to ‘Muslims only.'”
The proposal comes jointly from Palestinian and Jordanian interests
and follows an earlier decision by the agency to call the site in
Jerusalem in official papers only by the name created by Muslims –
Al-Aqsa.
But Breaking Israel News reported the new plan is “far more radical.”
It said “UNESCO’s very unholy actions” would deny that there is any Jewish link to the location at all.
That prompted the Sanhedrin, which is known in the New Testament for condemning Jesus, to act.
The court, which was disbanded about A.D. 425 and now has been
re-created, released a statement warning that the U.N., through its
statements and comments, is fomenting global terror.
“The Jewish right to the Temple Mount was established in the Bible,
and should therefore be recognized by Christianity and Islam,” the
Sanhedrin said in its statement. “In fact, the Jewish claim to Jerusalem
is as essential to those religions as it is to Judaism. The biblical
connection between the Jews and Jerusalem led to the building of the
First Temple by King Solomon, which strengthened our claim to Jerusalem
even more.”
The statement from the court, made up of leading rabbis and scholars
continued, “A plethora of archaeological evidence in and around
Jerusalem is undeniable proof of Jewish settlement in biblical times.
Islam did not exist, in Israel or anywhere else, until the year 636 …
more than 500 years after the destruction of the Second Jewish Temple.
“If there are any doubts or counter-claims, the Sanhedrin challenges
them to establish an objective committee of archeologists to check these
facts. On this matter, the Sanhedrin decries the Palestinians’ efforts
to destroy the archaeological evidence on the Temple Mount. … These
acts, destroying the sites and artifacts of other religions … are
intended to create belief in the false historical narrative the
Palestinians are trying to spread among the non-Jews, and even among the
Jews” of no historical links between Jews and the site.
The statement was referring to periodic actions by the Islamic Waqf,
which manages the Islamic mosque now on the mount, to do “construction”
with heavy equipment and machinery in an “area rich with archaeological
relics.”
