Moslem 'Authorities' Dug up Temple Mount "to Erase Traces of Jewish Altar"

 

by Gil Ronen at Arutz Sheva:

Muslim religious authorities are concluding a clandestine eight-month dig on the Temple Mount that is intended to erase traces of the Jewish Temple's Altar, Temple activists charge.

The digs have been taking place under the Dome of the Chain, believed to have been built over 1300 years ago. For eight months, the dome - which has a diameter of 14 meters - has been surrounded by a metal fence and black cloth, which hide whatever activity has been going on there from outside inspection. The Muslim Waqf religious authority has claimed the activity is simply a refurbishing of the structure, but refuses adamantly to let Jews or tourists near.

Jewish activists made various attempts to enter the Dome, but met with no success. In the end, the Our Temple Mount news outlet found an Arab who was willing to take photos inside the compound in return for a handsome fee (see below). The man said that it appears the Waqf has already completed its digs and is now covering the dig with dirt.

Our Temple Mount notes that according to Jewish tradition, the place where the Dome of the Chain is located is the spot upon which the sacrificial Altar stood in Temple times. Temple activists said that the Muslim digs are intended to erase the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount.

The Soviets rewrote history by literal rewriting -- changing the words and sentences in millions of copies of thousands of books. The Arabs rewrite history by digging. This assault on the Temple Mount has been going on since the end of the 1967 war, when -- in what may be one of the worst political blunders in modern history -- Moshe Dayan turned over control of the Mount to Jordan in the belief that retention of the Mount by Israel would lead only to further war and further bloodshed. Ever since, the Islamic Waqf has done everything possible to erase any evidence of any Jewish connection whatsoever to the Mount. Just as the Soviets devoted immense amounts of money and time to obliterating from their history books any evidence that Trotsky played a role in the Bolshevik Revolution, the Arabs are busy -- and have been for 44 years -- obliterating from the Temple Mount any evidence of the existence of such a thing as a Jewish Temple. Interesting, isn't it? None of the great totalitarian systems of our time -- not Communism, not Naziism, not Islamism -- was or is capable of co-existing with the truth. Totalitarianism can survive only with the aid of the Big Lie.

I support your view for the position of the altar … glad you supplied not only a constructive critique of the Arutz 7 report, but your own illustrations for clarity. I guess, given recent 21st century practices of the Waqf, and their “repairs” on the Temple Mount, it seems that they may harbor duel motives in these ongoing restorations. It is sad. We can only hope that the Israeli authorities will eventually enforce their sovereignty over the site and allow for (at minimum) a non-invasive GPR survey (or similar technology) the Harem plaza. That would be amazing to see
