US condemns archaeology paper

 



PA reportedly removes paper denying Jewish ties to Wall
December 1, 2010

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- The Palestinian Authority reportedly removed from its website a paper that denies any Jewish connection to the Western Wall.

The report was not on the PA's official website on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.

Its author, Al-Mutawakil Taha, a civil servant in the Information Ministry, told the AP that he stands by his report, which says the Western Wall was never a part of the Temple Mount complex.

"This wall was never part of the so-called Temple Mount, but Muslim tolerance allowed the Jews to stand in front of it and weep over its destruction," he wrote.

The paper was condemned Tuesday by the Obama administration. Earlier in the week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the claim.

U.S. Jewish groups, including include the Orthodox Union, B'nai B'rith International, the Zionist Organization of America and J Street, also condemned the paper, as did lawmakers including Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), the outgoing chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and his replacement, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.). The ZOA called P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas an "anti-Semite."

Condemnation of the Palestinian position also came from Washington.

"Regarding a claim by a senior Palestinian official of the Western Wall is an Islamic Waqf, we strongly condemn these comments and fully reject them as factually incorrect, insensitive and highly provocative," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Tuesday. "We have repeatedly raised with the Palestinian Authority leadership the need to consistently combat all forms of de-legitimization of Israel, including denying historic Jewish connections to the land."

The Western Wall's origins as the outer wall of the Jewish Second Temple are grounded in archaeological evidence and in contemporary descriptions.

Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro

An antisemite condemns people for being Jews, I am not an antisemite.--Michael Santomauro

Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish. Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro

ADVOCACY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IS NOT ANTI-SEMITISM

Richard Forer has posted a new item, 'ADVOCACY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IS NOT
ANTI-SEMITISM'

The Jewish Federation publishes a monthly newspaper, The New Mexico Jewish
Link. Each month contains numerous articles that defend Israel against any
criticism. The fact that the Link's writers abhor honest research is apparently
a mark of prestige. I often write to the Link. On rare occasions they publish my
well-thought out and respectful articles [...]
