UNESCO silent as Hamas bulldozes world heritage site for terrorist training camp

U.N.Watch:


GENEVA, April 15 – In an urgent letter sent today to UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova (see letter below), UN Watch demanded immediate action to stop the Hamas bulldozing of a 3000-year-old Gaza harbor for use as a terrorist training camp, asreported today by Al Monitor Palestine Pulse. A copy was also sent to EU foreign minister Catherine Ashton calling on the EU to take action.

The partial destruction of the ancient Anthedon Harbor—which includes the ruins of a Roman temple and archaeological remains from the Persian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras—comes exactly one year after the area was nominated by new UNESCO member state Palestine as a World Heritage site.

UN Watch, an independent Geneva-based monitoring group, called on Bokova to bring the issue before the UNESCO executive board now meeting in Paris.

Although the biannual UNESCO meeting, which runs until April 26, lists five agenda items concerning Palestinian issues—which US Ambassador Killion has described as “highly politicized” and designed to “single out Israel”—there is currently no scheduled discussion to address the month-long Hamas bulldozing of the proposed heritage site. UN Watch’s letter as sent today to Ms. Bokova and Lady Ashton follows below.

  1. The Pallys have almost nothing and what litle they do have, they disrespect in large measure. They have a historical site, nominated as a World Heritage site (tourism opportunities there) but they choose to disregard it, being the ‘philistines’ that they are (pun intended).
    Every move they make slides their credibility down one more notch and although the World at large is at the moment blind to this, one day eyes will be opened and the deplorable Pallys will realise that every opportunity that they were ever given by others has been thrown away with no more opportunity left. Then, they will realise that they truly have nothing at all, no State, no credibility as a state, and nobody on Earth believing a single word that they say ever again.
    Let them do as they wish. As far as I am concerned they are a lost cause.

  2. The Moslems must destroy all pre Mohammad historical sites to protect the lies of Mohammad.
