1. So what - Kadima wants to give it away anyway.
YMBMY ,   Modiin, Israel   (11.20.08)
And the Pals will deny our connection to it just like they denty our connection to the Temple Mount.
2. That's right.
Kev ,   London   (11.20.08)
If the Muslims get it, they'll claim that a righteous muslim lived there - like they did with Joseph's tomb.
3. BC?
Daweed ,   Saana, Yemin   (11.20.08)
Hey YNET and every other Jewish media source (and person!). Can we use CE & BCE instead of AD & BC? I prefer not to mark my years by Jesus. How about you?
4. #1&2 Can't you be happy about anything???
Sheila ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (11.20.08)

Mark ,   Israel   (11.20.08)
Remarkable. A wonderful piece of work. Kol HaKavod to this dedicated group of scientists
6. #4....#1 and #2 are right!
JAy ,   ISrael   (11.20.08)
Cant you accept the that the Arabs want our us and our heritage destroyed? Cant you accept that out government is helping them achieve this? Despite this great find, there is nothing to be happy about, given the threatening current situations around us. We all will be happy when there is no threats around!
7. Amazing

8. THIS IS MOHAMED GATE, ASK ANY ARAB
..............DACON9   (11.21.08)

9. # 3 Number them by Islam, then.

10. Another nail in the coffin of Biblical minimalism

which, according to the "new scholars", posits that Solomon's Temple never existed, and David probably never existed, and if he did he was just a local chief presiding over a couple of tribes. Moses, of course, was an Egyptian, or else he didn't exist. This is symptomatic of something much bigger: an advanced form of Western decadence that seeks to gnaw through the foundations of Western Civilization like termites. A recent museum exhibit I saw questioned (without offering proof to the contrary) whether Homer existed. According to popular new theories, William Shakespeare was the biggest fraud in history, a virtual illiterate who didn't write any of his plays. It goes on and on.
11. #9 & # 10
Daweed ,   Saana, Yemin   (11.21.08)
#9: But then I'd have to re-write all history to say every great person was Muslim. No thanks. Maybe Flying Spaghetti Monster built Kaaba? #10: Can you prove you existed? Aha!! ;-)
12. King David's City of Sha'arayim Identified

it is Jewish land and WAS, IS and ALWAYS will be. As I have said before, common knowledge tells you-ISRAEL belongs to the Israelites who are Jewish. To say it belongs to someone else does not make any sense. Obviously, the digging of the land proves it DEFINITELY belongs to the Jewish People and always will be.
