The U.N. Security Council recently held an “emergency session” just to address one Jewish man’s uneventful Temple Mount visit.

On January 3, Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir arrived at the Temple Mount to pray. But his 13-minute visit to the site, one of the holiest places in the world for Jews and Christians alike, prompted outrage and threats from Palestinian terror groups like Hamas.

You see, Jews are forbidden from praying at the Temple Mount in their own capital city.

The United Nations felt the immediate need to “intervene,” holding an “emergency session” to review the matter. But the U.N. was not interested in examining the Palestinian terror threats associated with the event. Rather, the expensive and totally unnecessary U.N. special session was convened merely to condemn a Jewish man for praying on the Temple Mount.

Israel’s ambassador to the U.N. blasted the special session for what he aptly called a “non-event.” The meeting, he charged, “legitimizes the poison and lies of the Palestinians.”

Incredibly, the Palestinian representative at the emergency session called the Temple Mount “occupied Palestinian territory” to which “Israel has no claim.”

But instead of rejecting Palestinian lies and defending Israel at the Security Council, Team Biden joined the chastisement of the Jewish state — which happens to be America’s best ally in the Middle East. A Biden diplomat intoned, “We oppose any and all unilateral actions that depart from the historical status quo that are unacceptable.”

Translated: The Biden administration thinks a Jew on the Temple Mount is “unacceptable.”

This is nothing but blatant anti-Jewish BIGOTRY. And it must stop!

Sign the “Let My People Pray” petition and fax Congress NOW. Demand our legislators stand for Israel by urging an end to the discriminatory and bigoted “status quo” that Team Biden is shamefully enforcing on the Jewish people.
