Note: these are Jewish, not Palestinian artifacts. Strangely no Hamas archeologists are attempting to recover evidence of their history in the region.

Also note for next time: obey traffic laws while transporting stolen goods.

***While the artifacts were seized in the Musrara neighborhood of Jerusalem the precise location of the tunnel complex was not released***

They’re not tomb robbers, just undocumented archaeologists.

The Bar Kokhba revolt was how Judea and Samaria got renamed to Palestine. Once the rebellion was subdued, just to poke his thumb in the eye of the Israelites, the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed the region to “Syria Palaestina,” in honor of the Hebrews’ hereditary enemy, the Philistines.

Which has to be one of history’s most enduring insults because the Israelis still to this day are plagued by that name change.
