The United Nations passed a controversial resolution Wednesday that criticizes Israel and calls the Temple Mount only by its Muslim name, Haram al‑Sharif. The resolution passed easily, 129-11, although Israel, the United States, Canada and Australia all opposed it. The resolution says, “any actions taken by Israel, the occupying Power, to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the Holy City of Jerusalem are illegal.” Significantly, the resolution does not contain the phrase “Temple Mount” but instead refers to it as Haram al-Sharif – the Muslim term for the site. The resolution calls for “upholding unchanged the historic status quo at the Haram al-Sharif” – although that term itself was seen by Israel as changing the dynamics. “By referring to the holiest site in Judaism, the Temple Mount, only by its Muslim name, the resolution itself is changing the status quo,” said Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan. “The hypocrisy of these resolutions is truly outrageous.” www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/michael-foust/un-passes-controversial-resolution-calling-temple-mount-only-by-its-muslim-name.html

“By referring to the holiest site in Judaism, the Temple Mount, only by its Muslim name, the resolution itself is changing the status quo,” said Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan. “The hypocrisy of these resolutions is truly outrageous.” This is far worse than terming it "truly outrageous". Let's call it what it is -- a blasphemy in God's face. Very dangerous. edited to add: I will sleep better tonight knowing the US opposed it.

edited to add: I will sleep better tonight knowing the US opposed it. I agree. One of the very few times that I approve of the current administration's handling of something.
