UNESCO, the United Nations’ Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, gave preliminary approval to a resolution which denies Judaism’s two most holy religious sites, the Temple Mount and the Western Wall, are Jewish in a 24-6 vote Thursday.

Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the vote stating: “The theater of the absurd continues at the UN.”

“Today UNESCO adopted its second decision this year denying the Jewish people’s connection to the Temple Mount, our holiest site for more than 3,000 years,” he said. “What’s next? A UNESCO decision denying the connection between peanut butter and jelly? Batman and Robin? Rock ‘n’ roll?”

Twenty-six nations abstained from the vote and two were absent.

The six countries who voted in support of Israel were Estonia, Germany, Great Britain, Lithuania, the Netherlands and the United States. The resolution specifies Jerusalem is holy to three religions, but that the Temple Mount is exclusively a Muslim holy site.
