US concerns Israel gives no recognition for churches, mosques
By: Mohamed Ali
WASHINGTON, United States: The US State Department says Israel is
recognizing Jewish sites only as religious sites but Christian and
Muslim churches and mosques are not recognized by the Jewish state,
and thus have no protection from future redevelopment by property
developers.
In its yearly human rights survey, the State Department raised the
concern. It says the 1967 Protection of Holy Sites Law has been
imposed on 137 Jewish sites only, meaning Christian and Muslim sites
are "neglected, inaccessible, or threatened by property development."
"The Church of the Holy Sepulchre and other well-known sites have de
facto protection as a result of their international importance;
however, community mosques, churches, and shrines faced threats from
developers and municipalities that Jewish sites did not face," the
report says.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
