PM NETANYAHU: UNESCO's DENIAL OF HISTORY IS ‘ABSURD.’
Posted onIsrael’s PM Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday 10 July 2017, welcomed Rwandan President Paul Kagame in Jerusalem. Speaking about Rwanda and Israel's shared legacy, Netanyahu said, "We possess, both of our peoples a tragic legacy. Ours in the Holocaust, you in the great genocide that befell your people.” Netanyahu then honored President Kagame personally led military effort that put a stop to the carnage after more than a million people were butchered. He added that, "It is one of our deepest pleasures to be able to cooperate with you in rebuilding your state in agriculture and water and so many other areas, and security as well. We welcome you in Israel with an open heart and open arms.” Netanyahu also addressed last week’s UNESCO votes undermining Israel’s connections to Jerusalem and Hebron: Speaking to Kagame he said, "We see how you stand up for Israel in international forums. You already expressed a principle that we believe in that bilateral relations should be reflected in multilateral forums. There is a dissonance, obviously between us and quite a few nations still. We saw that in the absurd vote in UNESCO that said that King David, depicted there with a harp, was not in Jerusalem, he was in Tibet. His son, Solomon, didn't build the temple in Jerusalem, he built it in South America, I don't know. I mean, it's absurd, the whole denial of history… of the Bible."
