~Keep the hard evidence buried at all costs~ because the hard evidence contradicts Islam (and "Palestinians") and the hard evidence contradicts Christianity and the hard evidence contradicts Ultra-Orthodox, Khareidim (and many Orthodox and non-Orthodox who sought, through casuistry, only to do what they want instead of what the hard evidence indicates). Torah and logical Halakhah, on the other hand, is -- by definition -- compatible with facts, documented history (please, dig it up and we'll all be better informed) and science. This is where the future is at.

Doing some research in order to know the credentials this person has (I Googled his name) I got to know that the only things you can find about him is that he highly collaborates against Jewish presence anywhere, no findings, no papers or studies presented. So, it's just logical that he offered anti Israeli international press an arab view of important archeological finds! As usual, when you look twice you find this reports cheap, very cheap!

Has the world forgotten that Hebron has been a Jewish site as far back as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebekka and Lea, who rest in the cave of Machpela in Hebron? If you look at the map following San Remo, Hebron, Bethlehem annd Jeruslem are part of the Jewish national home, while the East Bank is the Arab Kingdom of Jordan. Sir Martin Gilbert, The Arab-Israel Conflict in Maps, page 8.

at the very heart of the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people? The ONLY "good" reason to prevent us, Jews, from learning about the past in our homeland is to attempt to deny our very being as a people whose roots is found deep in the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people of 4,000 years. Keep excavating, keep excavating!!

Don't recognize you as a Jew , a self declared convert . Return to your Baptist temple , that's your place !
