You say history begins in 1948?! Then you speak of Lego, without any comment about the facts I note? You expose yourself as one who shoots from the hip...but still hits his foot. You know how to read and comprehend, but you avoid facts you don't like and propose idiocy that you invent, eg "history begins in 1948". Were we taught US history beginning on July 4th 1776? Your statement about history is ludicrous and makes no sense...as does many of your statements.

You ignore the differences. The "Pals" have no right to live there; if you don't believe in biblical rights, then suffice it to say that they left at the bequest of the arab armies in 1948. Those that did not run away, still live in Israel (another "detail" you ignore). The old houses were destroyed during the war. No nation has ever had to, let alone been asked, to rebuild the homes of an enemy that has sworn to kill them and denies their right to exist (yet another "detail" you ignore). Oh, and BTW, by now their fathers were born there, maybe their grandfathers, but you dare not go further back as most came in the early 1900's. The first did come earlier, in what is known as the Muslim Conquest; that is really when the trouble started. It continues because of willfull blindness to facts.

Herod was an Edomite who practiced Judaism. The Edomites were descendants of Esau. (The arabs arrived with the Muslim Conquest, in 676 AD.) The western wall was constructed to increase the area of the Temple. Who built said Temple? And if you deny the existence of said Temple, you show yourself to be at odds with historians. And historians also accept Josephus' account of Masada. Please supply your sources that support your statement that they don’t. You are concocting fairy tales again. It's so obvious it's ludicrous.

His mom was an ethnic Arab, and his father was an Edomite, that makes him an Arab according to Jewish law. For details google "King Herod Revealed' and read. In regard of Masada, google "masada myth" there's to much to list on this subject. Until you show me a visible prof of David's mighty kingdom or Solomon's empire they're nothing more than petty tribal chieftains praying in a little petty shack called Temple, assuming that they ever existed. There are others claiming that their Temple was the one mentioned in Bible, for this controversy google "Israel's Other Temple". First you have to convince your cousins the Samaritans that you're the real the real McCoys before you convince me ,...

And how, pray tell, did an ethnic arab get to Judea before the Muslim conquest? Read BAR magazine; Biblical Archeology Review. More proofs than even you can denigrate. It is impossible to convince someone as willfully blind and ludicrous as yourself. I write not to you, but to those others who may not be familiar with your drivel. Don't stop writing. You're always good for a laugh.

As you see, I have read what you've asked me to read. And the result is proof that you are the one running at the mouth; what you say is written in the article, or any article, is what you desperately want it to say...but it doesn't. Nice try. Doesn't wash.

I know you hate the fact that native Semites (Arabs) have build 'your' landmarks including both temples assuming that Solomon and his temple existed but that's a fact on the other hand you as a nation didn't leave a diddly squat to support your fairy tales, nothing that I can see, touch and admire. On the top of that you're trying to strip king Herod of his roots pointing to his father ancestry and omitting who his mother was ,...
