Official PA Daily Denies That the First and Second Jewish Temples Ever Existed

32

The Palestinian Arabs’ efforts to efface any indication that the Jews have a history in the land of Israel can be found here:

Similarly, a regular columnist of the official PA daily claimed that not “one relic” has been found as proof of the Jewish kingdoms:

“Throughout 75 years of Israel’s existence they – and before them Western archaeologists from Britain, Germany, France, the US, and others, who conducted researches and excavations even before Israel existed – attempted but did not find one relic indicating the existence of the alleged Jewish kingdoms in Palestine. Therefore, there was no First Temple and no Second Temple, and there also will be no Third Temple on the Arab land of Palestine.

[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 22, 2023]

So the Western Wall, part of the original retaining wall of the Temple Mount, does not count as a “relic”? What about the mountains of Jewish artifacts that were found in the thousands of tons of debris that the Palestinians threw out when they were building another mosque inside the Temple Mount, and that Israeli archeologists, horrified at the wanton destruction, managed to collect and tirelessly combed through to find thousands of artifacts that had been in the First and Second Temples? Or are we supposed to have forgotten al about those finds?

The Palestinians have tried everything they can to present themselves as the true inheritors of the Land of Israel. Some of them have concocted a false lineage, presenting themselves as the descendants of the Canaanites, a people who lived in the land in 4000 B.C. Others claim that the Israeli Jews are not from the Middle East at all, but are descended, rather, from the Khazars of Central Asia, who supposedly converted to Judaism in the 8th century. But most of all, they rely on simple denial: there is not “a shred of proof,” there is “not the slightest evidence,” there “is nothing that supports the Jews’ claims,” and so on and so idiotically forth.

Yet ancient Jewish buildings have been found all over Israel – the synagogues unearthed, some completely intact and others in various states of dilapidation and ruin, and the mikvehs, and the ancient cisterns. There are also the 150,000 tombstones on the Mount of Olives cemetery, the oldest, and largest, Jewish cemetery in the world, dating back to 3000 B.C. The Jewish religious texts that have been discovered, especially the carbon-dated Dead Sea Scrolls, that tens of millions of visitors have seen in the Shrine of the Book at the Israel Museum, are not a fiction that the Zionists forged. Nor are such proofs of Jewish existence in the Land of Israel as the fifteen letters written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, by the Bar Kochba resisters to Roman rule, found in the Cave of Letters near En-Gedi.

There is the extensive testimony of historians to the existence of the Jews in the Land of Israel, not only from Jewish historians like Flavius Josephus, but also by Greek and Roman historians. The Romans, after all, had conquered the Jews, and then had to contend with the resistance to their rule, and they recorded all of it. Historians in the Middle Ages, whatever they may have thought of Jews, never denied that Jews were the indigenous inhabitants of, and many had remained in, the Land of Israel. that they called “Palestine.” Historians of the Crusades wrote of the encounter of Crusaders with Jews in the Holy Land. Until the Palestinian Arabs made their their preposterous claims, no one, not even those opposed to the Jews, ever denied that Jewish presence going back thousands of years.

How many thousands of histories have been written, in every European language, about the Jews in what the Western world, following the Roman example, called “Palestine”? And once again, let’s repeat: what of the synagogues unearthed? What of the 150,000 Jewish graves in a cemetery that dates to 3000 B.C. What of the tens of thousands of artifacts unearthed in the archeological sites in Israel: the menorahs, the pottery, the coins, the oil lamps, the utensils, the frayed textiles? What of the similar artifacts that were found by in the hundreds of tons of soil from inside the Temple Mount that the Palestinians deliberately dumped out when building a mosque?

The Palestinian insistence that there is “not the slightest evidence” linking Jews to ancient “Palestine” is not the least of the nonsense that they feed the credulous, including their very selves. And all we can do is to keep sweeping back that tide of denial, evasion, and lies, hoping that with each sweep of that broom, the truth — or some of it – will stick.

There shall be a 3rd temple. It shall begin construction on the 1st day of Daniel’s 70th week, at the sounding of the 1st trumpet. Da 9:24-27. This is the week of trumpets, the book in God’s right hand, Re 5:1ff. It shall take 220 days to build and then shall be desecrated for 2,300 days. Daniel 8:14
“And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” This following Armageddon of day 2520. Then the Lord Jesus shall take His rightful place in the Holy of Holies and rule the earth for 1,000 years.

We need to recall that the Palestinians were known as Philistines until the Romans showed up.

Someone is ignoring what was said to Abraham by Elyon in Gen12:2-3. They had better repent before Rev1:7-8 takes place.

Islam is mandatory. There is no free will in Islam.
Compare that to any religion.

I don’t consider Islam a religion. It is a civilization of conquest that includes a mandatory religion. The religion and the civilization are defined by the same doctrine; Koran, Sira, Hadith. The belief in Allah is a religion, and to worship Allah Muslims must imitate Mohammed. Mohammed conquered by all means. He was the epitome of intolerance.

The Muslims claim Gabriel told Muhammad one thing. The Mormons claim Joseph Smith saw God and his Son in a grove. It was the devil they both spoke with just like Eve. MARX WAS PROBABLY A MEMBER OF A SATANIC CULT, not a atheist. Look what those that follow the Devil lead to. Vladimir Lenin respected the Muslims probably for the same reason he liked Marxism. When Moses came down from the mountain with the 10 Commandments it was the birth of freedom in the world. Me were no longer under the rule of men, but under God’s LAW.

Yes islam is a political movement intent on enslaving the world, which is why we have every right to ban mosques in America. It will have to happen soon.

All the Muslim mosques throughout North America and the world are concealing weapons armories – awaiting the Mahdi’s call to arms against the infidels..
Is there a Mosque in your community? Ans; Yes.
Does your town have its own armory? Ans: No!

They lie about peace when Islam is a house of war against all of us and they found few years back during a raid in Germany a rocket launcher among Kalashnikovs proving they are waiting to see the day they will attack us but God is greater than their satanic cult and he will not let them get that far but I think the army intelligence should watch these mosques and act accordingly because if just one of them commits murder then all mosques will be destroyed or closed until regular checks are orchestrated

According to the Christian scripture When Jesus was arrested Peter denied that he knew him three times. this is mirrored in the so called Christian countries of the world keeping quiet when Moslems make these stupid statements. according to these scriptures the Jew Jesus visited the Temple. shame on the Christians of the world keeping quiet, shame on them

The PA says this? Or is it a red flag to finally bring out the Ark?
The atheist Marxists have controlled Israel since 1948. The conservative religious dominated coalition for the 1st time dominates Israeli politics. This is the one open window to re-build the Temple.
Just do it!

Did the PA say this or is it a red flag to bring forth the existence of the Ark?
Since 1948 the atheist Marxists have ruled Israel, doing anything they can to block a rebuilt of the Temple.
Now for the 1st time ever Israel has a conservative and religious majority and an open window to rebuild the temple.
Juist do it.

Simple, obvious truth does not impede the most blatant lies. Men can supposedly have babies, nowadays, after all. The historical Jewish presence in Israel is one of the best documented in the world. You have to be wilfully blind to deny that.

Thank you, all well said, but you’re selling the Temple Mount way short. The Western Wall isn’t “the original retaining wall of the Temple Mount, ” but a small portion of the western wall of Herod’s rebuilt Second Temple. As Elder of Ziyon put it last week, the whole Temple Mount is proof of the Temples. See eg Ritmeyer who credibly pointed out the 500 cubit square evidence still there of the First Temple’s Mount, and even the location of the Ark in the First Temple’s Holy of Holies. And that much of the retaining walls, especially corners, of Herod’s Mount’s walls remain.

“I” has spoken; “The Jewish People ARE the apple of God’s eye!” They are the perfect example of God’s love. No matter how many times THEY have turned away from God, God ALWAYS calls them back. Life — IS a GIFT from God. Salvation — IS a GIFT from God through Jesus/God in the flesh.

My question is why the Jews are so hated, is it because Muslims are so jealous of the Jews and/or because the Jews didn’t switch their religion to Islam as Mohammad wanted them to? Palistine is a made up word and not in the Koran. Roman Emperor Hadrian changed the provincial administrative name of Judaea to Palestine to erase the Jewish presence in the land,” opining that “it’s equally likely the name change had little to do with Jew hatred. The result of this was from the Great War that the Romans lost a million men fighting the Jews.

While it is important to push back against this nonsense propaganda by the PA/Muslims?Arabs, most Americans don’t really know or care about the troubles in the middle east. So it falls on deaf ears. But…most Americans (thank your God), are on Israels side of the whole affair.
Regardless of what is PC to say out loud in public, every American 35 and older, learned all they needed to know about Islam on 9-11. So sleep tight. We know in our hearts who the savages and barbarians are.

How would the so-called “Palistinian” know anything about the history of the area . . . . his family has likely only lived there possibly a 100 years . . . .

“‘Palestinians’ are an Arab people sharing an overwhelmingly Muslim Arab culture, ethnicity and language identical to their fellow Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa, with few if any distinctions. They are primarily the descendants of those itinerant Arabs who illegally flooded British Mandatory Palestine from Arab territories as far away as Sudan, Egypt, Syria and what was Mesopotamia (modern Iraq). They were attracted during the late 19th and early 20th century by new employment opportunities created and provided by the Jewish pioneers whose heroic efforts were turning the desert green again and restoring centuries of neglect which the ancestral Jewish homeland had endured under a succession of alien occupations.”

“There is no such country as Palestine. ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria. ‘Palestine’ is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it.” Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, Syrian Arab leader to British Peel Commission, 1937.

“There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not.” Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian, 1946

“It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria.” Representative of Saudi Arabia at the United Nations, 1956

What the frig is wrong with all you people? This is thee most common reason very few understand who is who on this world, The jews of today are NOT the israelites, its that simple, it is very well known the term ‘jew’ ‘jewish’ was totally made up late 1600s early 1700s I forget its because been so long since we in the northeast were taught this growing up, I was born blonde/blue I am called caucasian because Jacobs tribe traveled through the caucus mountains, the jews are recognized world wide as the devils people who do the work of their father the devil, growing up in the 70s ALL adults referred to the jews as imposters because we all knew they are NOT who they claim. The jews come from the ‘serpent gods’ deceivers, liars, murderers, the good guys come from the ‘feathered gods’ Isis, Ra, El hence the name IsRaEl, their own talmud reveals many of these truths such as they cut the foreskin off the penis of the people they have conquered and enslaved as this is the world you all live in and have cut foreskin and still remain blinded by their words. Those of us that migrated out across europe and here to america are the Israelites of the bible NOT those who call themselves jews and this use to be common knowledge NOT a big secret like it has become.
