Speaking to WND in a recent interview, Waqf official and chief Palestinian Justice Taysir Tamimi claimed the Jewish Temples "never existed."

"About these so-called two Temples, they never existed, certainly not at the Haram Al- Sharif (Temple Mount)," said Tamimi, who is considered the second most important Palestinian cleric after Muhammad Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

"Israel started since 1967 making archaeological digs to show Jewish signs to prove the relationship between Judaism and the city, and they found nothing. There is no Jewish connection to Israel before the Jews invaded in the 1880s," said Tamimi.

The Palestinian cleric denied the validity of dozens of digs verified by experts worldwide revealing Jewish artifacts from the First and Second Temples, tunnels that snake under the Temple Mount and more than

“Actually, it’s the “Palestinians” who never existed. They are Egyptian and Jordanian squatters on the Holy Land of Israel, who should be forcibly deported one and all. Israel is Jewish land and has been for 4000 years.”

That line is just as delusional as the line about the temples never existing.

Then again, is that your point?

Since you seem to be the one to ask, I thought that that the Temple contained the Ark of the Covenant, which would contain stone tablets. Hey, I admit my ignornance on what got destroyed or lost and when, but Pompey was apparently confused too.

What is Jerusalem?

Easy, its the birthplace of Christianity.

So where DID the Jews come from? the moon?

“Hey, I admit my ignornance on what got destroyed or lost and when,
but Pompey was apparently confused too.”

As for the Ark of The Covenant...that’s still an “Indiana Jones” type
mystery. You’ll hear speculations of
“It’s in Ethiopia”,
“No, it’s buried under the Temple Mount”,
“No, it’s under the Vatican!”,
etc.
If it is discovered, I won’t be suprised it’s found in a crate in
a US government archive!

But for Pompey, the confusion was that “a worshipped G-d” had to have
a physical representation in terms of a statue, painting, figurine, etc.
When he stormed into the temple of Jerusalem, he was shocked to see
(to his eyes) “nothing”. I suspect he thought the Jews had some sort
of grand solid-gold statue of their G-d...and they’d spirited off
so it wouldn’t fall into Roman hands.

The Jews’ aversion to physically depicting the undepictable was another thing ripped off by that pedophilic pirate (”and Mohammad is his Profit” -misspelling intentional), yet the Muzzies, as usual, took it way out of proportion by declaring any depiction of Allah OR Mad Moe to be a crime deserving death.

Whenever I think of what Mohammad looked like the image of skeezy Larry Flint cruising a playground pops up. To be fair, Larry never ordered his readers to perform mass murders nor has been known to force little girls to marry him, then slaying their parents.

Islam is the barely disguised worship of Satan on this Earth. It’s the only way millions of souls would follow the Fallen One into the Pit willingly. Deceived through enforced ignorance yet, technically, willingly.

The digs in Iraq contradict the Muslims teachings and positions in this area. Ninevah, across the river from Mosul has been extensively excavated, two major library's have been found in two different palaces with numerous volumes that record interactions between Jerusalem, the Jews and the various powers that occupied Nineveh. In fact if nothing else would tell us this the tomb of Jonah has been discovered and identified in Nineveh.

pali’s need to end... drive them into the sea...no quarter... no mercy!

” it’s the “Palestinians” who never existed. They are Egyptian and Jordanian squatters on the Holy Land of Israel, who should be forcibly deported one and all. “

Sorry, TW, No Can Do. On account of as how all the arab countries have already kicked them out becasue they hate them too. No, they will have to stay in Israel, because it’s the only place they can be treated decently.

And that, folks, is the actual fact.

I just wonder if these idiots really believe this crap or are they just toeing the party line? To an Islamic, telling you an outrageous lie is just their way of saying f*** you. They do it to amuse themselves.
