- RightHand, on 09/03/2008, -1/+13The Father of Lies. Compared to the Israelis, the US neocons are neophytes when it comes to reshaping the past. Israel has long funded major archaeological projects intended to emphasize the Jewish presence in Palestine

Zionists minimizing or even denying the presence of others in the region, an attempt to demonstrate that Jews have a historical legitimacy that Arab inhabitants lack. Israel has had an official historical creation myth that it has promoted that alternately saw Palestine as largely depopulated in 1948 or voluntarily vacated by its Arab inhabitants. Golda Meir famously stated that there was no such thing as the Palestinians. - bernk1, on 09/04/2008, -2/+6What are you talking about RightHand? There are many museums all over Israel showing the role of Arabs and Muslims in the history of the area.
- RightHand, on 09/04/2008, -0/+7I can only go by the evidence.
The looting and destruction of Iraq's ancient sites. All of this wealth of archaeological treasures must of course annoy Israel.

Israel, while rich in antiquities, is almost totally devoid of artefacts from this supposedly glorious time in her history. The existence of the fabled First Temple was supported with just two artefacts, a carved staff ornament in the shape of a pomegranate and the Jehoash tablet. Both of these artifacts have been exposed as frauds. We are told that once there was a magnificent temple on that hill, but it "all went away." The wonders emerging from the soil of Egypt, Iraq, and Iran serve as a constant reminder that ancient buildings of such a scale as we are told the First Temple was simply do not vanish without a trace.
The writers of the ancient testaments assumed that the people they were telling stories to had no way to verify the claims for themselves. So "embellishment" was a low-risk activity.
We do know from the available archaeological evidence that the Exodus probably actually happened to the Hyksos, not the Israelites. - JagPop, on 09/04/2008, -1/+41925? A muslim rewrote history in 1925? And his qualifications were...? He based his opinion on...? So sue the guy in 1925. Scholarship moves on. Now we have Wikipedia :)
You guys are so desperate, jeesh.
If you want something REALLY interesting see one of my earliest offerings:
The Jews massacred Christians in Jerusalem -- 90,000 of them. Back then the population of the earth was two percent of what it is today. So it created a void in the area as though 3 million had been killed today. But here is the relevent kicker, zionists are trying to wipe the history from the map BUT you can find the info preserved in tourist brouchures!
http://digg.com/political_opinion/Wiping_Palestine ... - ad33lshahid, on 09/04/2008, -0/+4heres the thing: muslims consider all jews who properly followed the commandments of Moses, and Solomon and David etc. to be MUSLIMS-- as they submitted to the will of their Lord, after accepting the message transmitted through these prophets. So just stating that it is the temple of solomon doesn't do anything, considering muslims consider Solomon (Suleiman) to be a upright prophet of God and thus a Muslim. Similarly, all people who followed the teachings of Jesus ('Isa) are considered to be MUSLIM.
