Even Within Arab-occupied Temple Mount

When Arabs Destroy Judaic Archaeological Evidence No One Cares

1999.12.16 – In the past several weeks, the Muslim Waqf completed extensive and illegal building within, under, Har ha-BaꞋyit (corrupted to the Arab-occupied "Temple Mount")! The Muslims have opened a great door to their newly built underground mosque constructed within "Solomon's Stables" under and inside Arab-occupied Har ha-BaꞋyit! Yet, while the world profusely condemned Israel after false allegations concerning the entrance a distance from Arab-occupied Har ha-BaꞋyit, the world hasn't condemned these flagrant Arab violations! World miso-Judaism continues to manifest itself unabated.

"AmꞋi DᵊrôrꞋi, the head of the (Israel) Antiquities Authority, added that the Wakf had committed an 'archaeological crime', doing 'irreversible damage'." (Jerusalem Post, 99.12.14, p. 8).

"Police Insp. Gen. Yᵊhuda Wilk said the Wakf had greatly exceeded the scope of the projects approved by Prime Minister EiꞋhud Bâ•râqꞋ three months ago [emphasis added; ybd] and had also violated the terms of the permit. Finally, he said, the police ordered the work stopped, but the Wakf 'completely disregarded the order.'" (ibid.)

The "same [Atty. Gen. Êlyâ•qimꞋ] Rubenstein who had protested the Wakf's "trampling" of Jewish history a week earlier – decided, with Barak, to forbid the city [of Yᵊru•shâ•laꞋyim; ybd] to issue the stop-work orders – just as he had forbidden the Antiquities Authority to do so." (ibid.)

"Years of experience on [Arab-occupied Har ha-BaꞋyit] and other sites deemed holy by Moslems have taught successive governments the first rule of international relations in the Middle East: In any confrontation between Israel and a Moslem group over a site of religious importance to both sides, the world will take the Moslems' part." (ibid.)

"Had Israel attempted to enforce the law, the Vatican, international church groups, and the Christian nations of Western Europe and the US would have been the first to condemn it." (ibid.)

"The Christian world must realize that Israel cannot have one law for Moslem-Jewish relations and another for Moslem-Christian relations. If the Moslem Wakfs are subject to the state's laws, then this holds true even when the law being broken affects only Jewish interests – as is the case on [Arab-occupied Har ha-BaꞋyit]. But if the Wakfs are granted diplomatic immunity from the law, then this will hold true even when the victims [as in the case of Nazareth; ybd] are Christian interests." (ibid.)

This isn't the first time that the Christian world has been silent as Arabs eliminated archaeological proof of Israel's Jewish history on [Arab-occupied Har ha-BaꞋyit]. As the Biblical Archaeology Review magazine documented (83.03-04, pp. 40-61), Muslims used a bulldozer to remove, eliminate and cover over the last vestiges of the First Beit ha-Mi•qᵊdâshꞋ, which were, until 1982, still extant!!!

It's clear from Christian silence when Jewish evidence and hard proof are "eliminated" that, like the Ioudaios Internet Forum and the behavior of the German Church and Vatican during the Sho•âhꞋ, that the miso-Judaism of Christianity is as endemic as pointed out by the late Oxford historian James Parkes (The Conflict of the Church and the Synagogue, A Study in the Origins of Anti-Semitism).

Religious Discrimination on Har Mor•i•yâhꞋ

(Jerusalem Post, 98.10.20, p. 10)

Last week the Jerusalem District Court upheld the conviction of Hi•leilꞋ Polchik "for disobeying a police officer during an attempt to pray on the Arab-occupied Temple Mount… The part that should have been shocking was the court's reasoning: that praying in public on the holiest site in the Jewish religion constitutes a provocation, and the police officer's attempt to stop it was therefore legitimate." [As a police reserves volunteer, I avoid working where I would have to enforce this miso-Judaic abomination in Israeli law; ybd]

"Freedom of worship for all religions, including free access to the holy places of all faiths, has always been a cardinal principle of the Jewish state… It is ironic, therefore, that Judaism's holiest site should be the one place in the Jewish state where this principle is routinely violated…

"Most rabbinic authorities forbid Jews to pray there in any case, lest worshipers accidentally enter parts of the Mount which are forbidden under Jewish law… [This] argument is an obvious fig leaf, because though most rabbis do forbid praying on the Mount, others permit it. Disagreements among rabbinical authorities are the trademark of Judaism, and the Supreme Court would not dream of trying to arbitrate any other such dispute – any more than it would forbid the tiny minority of Reform Jews in Israel from worshiping as they see fit because of the Orthodox establishment's opposition…

"Were Jews forbidden to pray at a historic holy site in any other country, the outcry – both from Israel and world Jewry – would be instantaneous. The fact that this time, it is the Jewish state perpetrating the outrage does not make it more acceptable."
