REWRITING HISTORY - I

 

REWRITING HISTORY - I

The cumulative effect of the Arab false propaganda has been both counter-factual and unfortunate. Already in 2006, the World Heritage Site Committee of the United Nations Economic, Social, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) passed a resolution referring to the Temple Mount - the holiest site in Judaism - solely by its Arabic, Islamic name, al-Haram al Sharif

In spite of the fact that extensive documentation from antiquity and countless archaeological finds, continue to confirm both Judaism's ties to Jerusalem, and the Jewish people's millenia-old presence  in the land of Israel.

Among the obvious findings that provide proof of ancient writings about the Jews - and Jerusalem - is the Bible, much of which is magnificently displayed by the new excavation of the City of David. Other proofs are the written histories by Joseph Flavius (37-100 AD); the History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides;Peloponnesian War by Thucydides; and the famous Dead Sea Scrolls.

In 2012, remarkable excavations by the Israeli archaeologist, Dr. Eilat Mazor, unearthed a Solomon-related wall and other sites. This followed and preceded many other discoveries, such as a wide street filled with remnants of shops and tunnels, that runs near the Western Wall.

Where Palestinian propaganda is concerned, however, none of the above appears to matter. During the very week in early September that the City of David Foundation revealed the ancient Hebrew seal found near the Western Wall, Dr. Ghassan Weshah, the head of the History and Archaeology Department at the Islamic University of Gaza, told the Gaza news service “Felesteen”:

"One of the biggest lies of the Zionists with regard to the Al-Aqsa Mosque is that it was built on the ruins of the Temple, which was destroyed on August 21, 586 BCE. This is a false statement. There is no other building under the Al-Aqsa Mosque."

The Holocaust and other aspects of Jewish history are either denied, downplayed or distorted.

Despite the fact that Jesus was a Jew who lived in the Land of Judea/Israel, PA leaders repeatedly define Jesus as a Palestinian. According to them, Jesus preached Islam! Not only denying Jewish history, but also the history and legitimacy of Christianity.

If statements such as Weshah's were not taken seriously by members of the international community, they would be dismissed as the propaganda tools they are.   The quantity of irrefutable scientific evidence to the contrary, makes  it incumbent on  all honest academics to be on the alert, and to make every effort to set the record straight.

GRANDMA'S ARMY AT WAR

  Six-and-a-haIf years ago I began to write a blog “Grandma’s Army”, as I had seven grandchildren serving in the army at the same time.   Little did I dream that today, that number would jump to seven + ten, Apart from two in the regular army, all the rest are in the Reserves. Both of my sons, who are over 60 years-old, are in army uniform again. They have volunteered to drive army trucks for transport purposes all over the country, after taking a special driving course. Since I began this blog, Azriel and his wife have returned to live in their home on the moshav. They had been evacuated since the beginning of the war, since their home is in the “Gaza envelope”. Azriel has four children and one son-in-law in the army since the beginning. His officer daughter, Adi was called up to the War room of the Gaza Brigade on the second day of the war: “When the first Givati ground forces of the regular army entered Gaza, I knew that my fiancé, Hillel, was amongst them serving a...

A DIABOLICAL STRATEGY

It’s a verified fact that Hamas has been planning the ongoing war with Israel for decades. Hamas knew that they could not beat Israel militarily.  They also knew that  Israel would retaliate very strongly after the massacre on October 7 th - and the kidnapping and abuse of 252 men, women, children and babies. Hamas spent almost twenty years preparing the Gaza Strip as a killing ground for Israeli soldiers and Palestinian civilians. The  massive network of tunnels spanned more kilometers than the London Underground and  New York metro combined!  By integrating their military operations throughout civilian infrastructure - these tunnels served as missile launchers and storehouses of lethal weapons underneath kindergartens, schools, hospitals, even mosques, etc. The IDF had no choice but to fight the terrorists from, or close to, residential and commercial areas. In all those years, Hamas deliberately prepared nothing to protect it’s own civilians. On the co...

He was on his way to volunteer at 11:00 a.m. on October 7 th , before his call-up papers arrived. His present service is connected to Intelligence activities and is not for   the public ear. Omer, from the Givati Battalion, also went straight to his army base on the 7 th of October, before his call-up papers arrived two days later. Givati forces are in charge of combatting terrorism in the Gaza Strip area His first assignment was as Deputy Commander of the Forward Command Squad. Because of chronic back problems, he was transferred to the Battalion’s War Room where he is part of a small team. He monitors orders between the Battalions and Brigades, deals with problems of the ground forces in his command, and records the day’s military activities.
