i24 News – The UN has conditioned Israel’s request for an exhibit on the parliament at the organization’s New York headquarters, asking it to remove certain content, including references to Yerushalayim as the country’s capital.

The exhibit, titled “The Knesset Celebrates 70 Years – Parliament Shapes Israeli Society,” was previously shown at Ben Gurion Airport in 2019.

According to Channel 12, the Israeli delegation to the United Nations requested to display the exhibit at UN headquarters on the condition that several items would have to be removed.

Among the content deemed objectionable is material relating to a quasi-constitutional Basic Law passed in 1980, recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s “eternal and indivisible” capital.

“Please delete slide 43: According to the relevant decisions of the General Assembly and the Security Council, the Basic Law: Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is not valid from our point of view,” the UN reportedly said in his instructions. This is a most sensitive issue, and the information in the slide contradicts international law,” the organization added.

Channel 12 also reported that the UN has asked Israel to remove text accompanying a photo of the parliament (Knesset) that describes Jerusalem as “the eternal capital of the Jewish people and their holy city.” “This quote is not relevant to the photo, and its removal will help prevent contradictions with international law and political sensitivities,” the UN reportedly told Israel.

Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, protested the demands in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and called for the exhibit to be presented without modifications.

“The UN’s impertinent request to censor the exhibit and remove photos that reflect our national history is in fact a request to rewrite Israel’s history, and we will not accept it in any way,” he stressed Erdan.

  1. Why on earth would Israel want to exhibit anything at the UN an irrelevant and failed institution.

    Much better to keep our principles
    than to accommodate these anti Israeli losers.

  2. ““The UN’s impertinent request to censor the exhibit and remove photos that reflect our national history is in fact a request to rewrite Israel’s history, and we will not accept it in any way,” he stressed Erdan.”

    The entire Zionism is a rewriting of Jewish history. So there’s that.

  3. So, according to the lowlifes at the UN, Putin & Zelensky are not the problem. Israel is the problem. Oh, I see. Where do they get their marching orders from? Kirsten Gillabrand?

  4. If I can trace my roots to Europe, can the United Nations stronger trace its broken boredom to the crazy laughter of its friends that know were millions of miles from peace among places with ancestral graves of jews?

    Jacob is Israel’s soul and friend. If the UN wants its rocks, maybe it can just shake its head backwards. It might drop a bone on the floor.
