I was looking for a place where we could actually see what’s taking place. I guess the msm doesn’t want us to see for ourselves that the Jews are not causing trouble as is always presumed.

Much agree the great irony of this long awaited outrage is that it’s the wrong side getting outraged.

Hey John – Do you have more info about that volunteer work?

Thanks Laya for putting out more info on this. The digging on the Temple Mount under the “supervision” of the Waqf is very – well, it just hurts me on the inside. They have really been using bulldozers to dig out parts of the Temple Mount. The fill that the removed was just piled up outside the walls – just dumped. Archaeologist from the Hebrew U. and other places have been sifting thru this dumped fill for years and have discovered many coins and pottery pieces. (You can volunteer to sift and help!) The problem is that without proper excavation – layer by layer, valuable information is lost. On the other hand, all finds from digs carried out in Palestinian territory under the supervision of the Israel Antiquities Authority are marked and coded so that once there is some kind of Palestinian govt ministry capable of administering those artifacts.
