Jan 2008 Are Israeli settlers taking control of archaeological digs to manipulate history and consolidate claims to Palestinian land? Some Israeli archaeologists are starting to speak out. The Palestinian village of Silwan is located just below the ancient City of David, in the heart of Jerusalem. Archaeological digs here are under the control of the right wing group, ELAD. The constant threat of demolition hovers over people's houses. It's part of ELAD's program to take over and occupy large parts of Silwan and make it Jewish?, complains archaeologist Dr Rafi Greenberg. Locals have already defeated one plan to destroy close to 100 houses. But despite this victory, the nature of Silwan has changed beyond recognition. As Greenberg laments?The place I knew as an Arab village with archaeology, turned into a place with armed guards, a place with amplified symbols of Israeli presence?.

Aug 29, 2010 - @BAJR What is your source? Walid Shoebat said Islam destroyed the Arab culture of critical thinking. They believe any myth that sounds plausible according to the Koran. The Koran can't be true once critical thinking is applied. If you want to believe in God, the Bible is the ONLY PLAUSIBLE Holy text. Israel MUST take over because they will report the truth, "War is deception" (Mohamed), in Islam, even lying about archeology is blessed. So you too may know this but you lie for Islam.

Aug 29, 2010 - @MegaAntimason Some quote that book, and you think that infers there are no valid seecular reasons? That is not a rational argument. Not that I expected one, but my pity for you inspired me to suggest education if you truly want peace. While you are learning critical thinking principals, you might see how peaceful people win peace. Gandhi, Martin Luther King and many others.
chris2002Rocklin Says:
Aug 29, 2010 - @shayshalom Exactly! "War is deception". That was a quote from Mohamed. Sadly, most Muslims do beleieve that destroying archeology to get rid of Jewish culture and evidence fo the truth, that is pleasing to the moon god Allah. So they destroy the archeology, and some Muslims not involved still beleive the lies of their leaders. As long as the Jews are destroyed, all is well with muslims. I wish that all Islam will see that truth is the only basis for any agreement, including peace.
chris2002Rocklin Says:
Aug 29, 2010 - @montezoma You do know that Islam has been proved to be an invention by Mohamed, don't you? Islam was created from a fantastic series of dreams to renovate Arab paganism. There is no Islam before Mohamed. Israel is Jewish, except for the few Islamic conquest sites, but most of those are on top of Jewish archeology. Ignorance + religion = war to the death. The holocaust never ended (Islam was Hitler's ally), but the victims (Jews) started to defend themselves.

Aug 29, 2010 - @ovinizorro Whatever the truth is. By the way, you say that is though the native Americans are not at peace with their peace settlements. Muslims say the dumbest things, but it is the lies of their media and leaders fault. 3w.memritv . org

Aug 29, 2010 - I do love it when extremists from any religion try and hijack the past to there own means, with little understanding of real archaeology... Eat Fact ! ;) Choose your religion, choose your fact... but do try and understand that reality has a terrible way of making bigotry and viciousness has no place in it. Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all .. wait for it.. all about being .. well... nice. Not being bigots. I am proud to be an archaeologist who reports the truth

Aug 29, 2010 - @chris2002Rocklin ok please englighten me, give me one secular reason why one people have the right to force another people out of their homes, and then trap them in a prison, and then introduce violent extremist settlers to basically ethnically cleanse a whole population, please refrain from qouting that "magic book"

Sep 11, 2010 - Well, what can you expect. The Jewish plan is to expel Arabs from their land. Many techniques are used for this. Archeology is one. Israel's will has always been inforced militarily.

Sep 13, 2010 - It pains me to say this, but the reality is, Israel is the most powerful country in middle east and one of the powerful countries of the world. So Palestinians must leave their country seek refuge elsewhere, to suggest otherwise is not brave but stupid,suicidal and waste. You cant fight a power like Israel with bow and arrows so to speak. Its actually middle east countries like Saudi Arab that is causing the Palestinians to suffer so terribly by denying them work,proper recognition etc.
iadvice Says:
Sep 13, 2010 - some may say this cowardice, I beg to differ. You can't win battles and wars with Israel by throwing yourself in front of tanks and bullets. The Gandhi method will not work either. Palestinians must leave and save their generations for future. Instead they should pressure the Arab Muslim countries to take them and give the some sort of legal status for work and residence. Israel will collapse in the fullness of time at the appropriate juncture, when the moment is right.

Oct 1, 2010 - We need actual "archeology"--people who work the stones which do not lie. It is provocative to interview a smirking resident whose claim goes back to 1964, by his own admission. The "angry" resident seems to take pride in clinging to ignorance and obstacles. His own wife thought he was an idiot for refusing a good price for his land. How astonishing that the film-maker thinks it is important to give fuel to the drama kings of that hill with its fascinating scientific value.

Jan 14, 2011 - He said, "Arab children, children stay out of the political situations". Except for Jewish children, they are actually taught to stone Arabs. I've seen videos of Jewish children stoning women that have little babies in their arms. Jews are terrible people. It's weird that people still believe that organized religion has a place in society today, it's all a terrible fairytale that kills millions of people in the name of nonexistent gods. It's actually insanity, they belong in mental institutions.

Jan 14, 2011 - @iadvice The Israelis are nothing but dead meat without the U.S... There will be a day when we won't be so generous toward them, and that will mean the end for them. You're right, the Arab nations have not helped the Palestinians.
dale3858 Says:
Jan 14, 2011 - @chris2002Rocklin All religions are an invention, probably by people who were hallucinating on some mushrooms or something. There's not one shred of evidence for gods existence. All religions are nothing but a bunch of fanatical idiots that can't deal with their own deaths.

Jul 10, 2011 - In recent years, the Jordanian wakf used heavy construction tools on the temple mount & destroyed 4000 years of precious archeology , deliberately, only to blur whatever evidence of Jewish presence there is down there. Entrusting archaeological digs in the hand of Islam - a bad mistake to whoever cares about HUMAN history, not Just re-written Islamic history. Especially in the Land of Israel.

Jul 15, 2011 - @ED25NYC See video - Most Palestinians are Jews The Jesuit's are behind everyone's troubles One of the 1st orders that Bush gave when Iraq was invaded was to go into the museum and take all the antiquities ( History )
steute2011 Says:
Jul 17, 2011 - The American Jew states "we have never lost a case in court"! Well, surprise, surprise...how can you lose in an Israeli court as a Jew arguing a case for the illegal settlement of a territory, which it considers not to be illegally occupied?
