Palestinians to ask UN to recognize West Bank village as World Heritage site

What USA is not built on Native American land is built on Mexican land! "Do as I say, not as I do".

WHERE, exactly, are Israel's proposes borders? We KNOW where her legal borders are.

Before the 4th Geneva Convention. WEe have spent, and are still spending billions in compensation. All Americans Indians are full citizens. 1) Are all Palestinians full citizens of Israel? 2) How many billions is Israel spending to compensate for the slow-mo genocide? 3) The Americans settlers persecuted the Indians in the 1600s. Does Israel think it's still the 1600s?

Jerusalem does not belong to either side, How can Jerusalem be THAT important to Israelis when: 1) Israel excluded her from her self-declaRED borders, and 2) She is STILL named for a Jebusite god (Salem) NOT YHWH.

You also have to understand its history and why it is the only village in the area which wasn't taken by Israel in 1948 - Walajeh, Ein Karem, Deir Yassin etc. Putting its ugly, hateful wall in the midst of this nature is cruel not only to the people but to the land itself.

If it is Palestinian or Jewish? What is important only is that is a unique agricultural system that has to be preserved.

They lived on the land long before Europeans converted.

This is as ingcongruous as saying that descendents of the Norse who settled in Dublin in 1st millennium CE belong not in Ireland or the Scottish Isles, but back in Norway, where they originated from. It's like saying that the Scots who settled Western Scotland belong in Northern Ireland. It's like saying that Anglo-Saxons who settled England from the 4th-5th century CE onwards belong back in the Baltic. You simply cannot arbitrarily choose a time period (e.g. Levantine Bronze Age) and demand that its imagined descendents living elsewhere today return to the territory as it was defined back then. Capital of ancient Israel was Shomron, not Jerusalem. Capital of ancient Judea was Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv used to be an Egyptian garrison. Do you want that returned to the Egyptians? How about Be'er Sheva? Do you want that returned to Abi Melech of the Philistines? It was clearly under his control when Avraham Avinu passed through on his way to Egypt?

Perhaos what Israel needs most is to be kicked out of the UN for continuously violating the UN charter, violating numerous UN resolutions, and most of the peace agreements it has signed.

Heritage is for all. It's cannot be specifically Palestinian or Israeli. At best, these are just administrative terms. The status of this site's heritage value is beyond nationalistic or political terms. This site in particular is both an historic site and a living site, loving maintained by the living people today who are dependent upon it for their "daily bread". Having it designated as an heritage site means that its current form will be preserved in perpetuity for future generations to enjoy. The importance of its history to many people - Jews, Muslims, Christians etc, and the multiple narratives that testify to those important histories are not in any danger.
