I did a cursory (mobile) search of the UNESCO website to discover the wording of the measure and the justification for why they voted this way but couldn't find anything. I'd like to know what exactly the wording was as the media tends to have a pro-"Israel-is-Perfect" slant.

Have they said anything as to whose holy site it was before Muslims reached it about 1300 years ago? Considering the layers of history in the region (stick a shovel in the ground and you get relics) there's still a lot of time to cover.

Far out! Did you read this further down the article?

"Meanwhile, between July 8 and Aug. 27, more than 2,100 Palestinians were killed during a Israeli military operation in the Gaza strip, along with 66 Israeli soldiers and seven civilians in Israel, according to a BBC News report."

2100 is a huge number! Why is it not all over the news?

Andrew Cutler because the media has a pro "Israel is infallible" slant.

Exactly, Lee Grupsmith-Pedersen. Did they claim Israel had no claim or Israel didn't have the only claim?
