Let some Jewish billionaires come up with the money. Technically all of the scrolls belong to the Jordanian nation as they were found in Jordan and taken out of that country. The Jewish nation should compensate Jordan for the looting of this national treasure.

Jews wrote them; they were the property of Jews. But I assume that’s just a “minor detail” that you choose to ignore.

judaism and its scrolls IS NOT THE NATIONAL TREASURES OF ARABS AND MUSLIMS. IT IS THE NATIONAL TREASURE OF JEWS. PERIOD! also, didn't arafat and abbas say that the jews had no previous life, existence and history in what is now the west bank and israel? didn;t they say that the jews had no connection to the holyland or jerusalem and that the jewish temple (which the scrolls specifically describe being built in jerusalem) never existed? if that is the case, why would jordan, who is islamic, want scrolls that they deem a lie?

the scrolls, the jewish scrolls, are as important to jordan or to any arab as toilette paper is. that means, not much....unless, and it is typical of arabs, is to steal property of others and make it their own. or, to sell said property for cash without any sentiment to its religious value, not to muslims, but to jews. how typical of arabs.
