Subject: RE: BS: Hamas destroys UN protected site
So, you attack the source, and ignore the factual content??



"The partial destruction of the ancient Anthedon Harbor--which includes the ruins of a Roman temple and archaeological remains from the Persian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras--comes exactly one year after the area was nominated by new UNESCO member state Palestine as a World Heritage site."

You obviously approve of this.


"This isn't the first example of Palestinian destruction of an historically significant site. An Israeli archaeologist reported in December that the Waqf - the Muslim religious authority governing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem - continues to destroy Jewish antiquities on the Temple Mount. This is in violation a ruling by Israel's High Court of Justice.
In 1999, the Wakf employed bulldozers to remove 10,000 tons of dirt from the area known as King Solomon's Stables saying it needed to make room for an emergency exit for the Marwani Mosque.
The Jerusalem Post reported: "Archeologists were stunned at the wanton disregard for preserving the material. Garbage trucks dumped the debris in a big heap in one end of the nearby Kidron Valley.""

And this as well- after all, it was just a Jewish site, so who cares what is done to it.


Now, if it had been a mosque.... THEN you would be screaming and demanding that everyone condemn it.


So I think your attack on the source, rather than discussing the facts, is obvious bigotry.
