A Political Moment

I don't blog about political issues very often. It's not because I don't care. It's more like A) I don't think it would do much good for anyone and B) it's not really a huge interest for me. It's neat to hear prophecies being fulfilled and intriguing to learn about what's going on in the world. I do try to stay fairly current in world events; but mostly because I feel like it's my responsibility.

However, while I was trying to catch up on the past couple issues of Israel My Glory, I found an article regarding some Israeli Monuments being declared national heritage sites by the (PA) Palestinian Authority and agreed upon by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization). Considering my source, I assumed the article carried a fairly heavy bias. So, I decided to look for myself:

UNESCO Media Services: Rachel's Tomb

Basically, the PA and UNESCO are urging Israel to remove the sites from their Heritage List. They claim that it should be equally Muslim as they have been calling it a mosque for about 15 years. In reality, these tombs existed long before even the religion of Islam did. All I hear on the news is how everyone is annoyed by Israel and that they're always on the offense to neighboring countries. I know it's no surprise that all of this is going on, but it still irks me that they trying to erase the history of both Judaism and Christianity.

So there ya go, some conservative media for today...and you didn't even have to turn on Fox News!
