The New York Times is casting doubts on the
location of the Temple. You know the one where the wall still exists and is one of the holiest places in the Jewish tradition.
According to the article:
Within Jerusalem’s holiest site, known as the Temple Mount to Jews and the Noble Sanctuary to Muslims, lies an explosive historical question that cuts to the essence of competing claims to what may be the world’s most contested piece of real estate.
The question, which many
books and scholarly treatises have never definitively answered, is where on the
37-acre site, home to Islam’s sacred Dome of the Rock shrine and Al Aqsa
Mosque, was the precise location of two ancient Jewish temples, one built on
the remains of the other, and both long since gone.
Those temples are integral to
Jewish religious history and to Israel’s
disputed assertions of sovereignty over all of Jerusalem. Many Palestinians,
suspicious of Israel’s intentions for the site, have increasingly expressed
doubt that the temples ever existed — at least in that location. Many Israelis
regard such a challenge as false and inflammatory denial-ism.
“This is a very politically
loaded subject,” said Matthew J. Adams,
Dorot director of the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in
Jerusalem. “It’s also an academically complex question.”
So in the eyes of the Times it is doubtful that the Temple was to be found in Jerusalem? Where was it? Jersey?
This is the kind of thing I expect to hear from Reverend Wright or Al Sharpton or David Duke or Barack Obama. You know. Anti-Semites from the get go. It is part of the denial of the reality of Israel and the claim of the Jewish people to their historic homeland. Part and parcel of the current attempt to delegitimatize Israel and to destroy them as a nation and a race. The Big Lie to coin a phrase.
I mean they don't even believe the Wall exists! Who are do they think they are? Roger Waters?
