The Temple Mount
Judaism’s Holiest Site
Facts Regarding The Temple Mount, And The Ongoing Arab Destruction Thereof:
* For a decade, Muslim religious authorities have participated in the destruction and elimination of precious Jewish and Christian artifacts on the site of Solomon’s Temple, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
* Thousands of tons of earth, containing archaeological evidence dating back to the period of the Temple of Solomon, were discarded. Among the ‘rubble’ were ancient seals from a Priestly family, inscribed pottery fragments in Ancient Hebrew, Altar screens and broken columns from a fourth century Byzantine Church.
* Since the year 2000, the Muslim religious authority — the Waqf – has blocked all archaeological oversight of the Temple Mount.
* Meanwhile, the Waqf continues to construct Mosques on the sacred sites of Jews and Christians.
* We believe the international and Israeli media should have unrestricted access to the Temple Mount.
* We believe the world-respected Israeli Antiquities Authority be empowered to supervise the day to day activities on the Temple Mount.
* Currently, the Waqf forbids any non-Muslim entrance, except on a selective and very limited basis. For instance, the Waqf does not give any observers access inside the vast subterranean rooms, from which many antiquities have been removed.
