There’s nothing anti-Semitic about UNESCO’s Hebron vote
Israel’s leaders are essentially trying to convince the world that anyone who recognizes Palestine is anti-Semitic. UNESCO’s resolution to recognize the Tomb of the Patriarchs/Ibrahimi Tomb and Hebron’s Old City as Palestinian World Heritage Sites brought on, as expected, knee-jerk cries of anti-Semitism by Israeli politicians.
