or whether, as many Palestinians have said, including the late Yasir Arafat, the idea of a Jewish origin in Jerusalem is a myth

And the fact that they print this with a (typographical) straight face tells you all about the NYT.

The find will also be used in the broad political battle over Jerusalem - whether the Jews have their origins here and thus have some special hold on the place, or whether, as many Palestinians have said, including the late Yasir Arafat, the idea of a Jewish origin in Jerusalem is a myth used to justify conquest and occupation.

Oh please, Jewish origin in Jerusalem is a myth. Eye rolling.

Great news and fit to make for an excellent Shabbat. Thanks!

PS interesting that it's the first of Av at sundown. For those not in the "know" the temple was repeatedly destroyed on the 9th - same day as the Gaza pullout

Before getting too excited, people should know that this just a theory. Many digs are later revealed to be something else. As for me, if it is King David's palace that would be great. But if it's not, my postition on Israel is not based on the Bible. It's based on the fundamental rights of Israelis to live and live free of Islamic terror.

Hani Nur el-Din, a Palestinian professor of archaeology at Al Quds University, said he and his colleagues considered biblical archaeology an effort by Israelis "to fit historical evidence into a biblical context." He added: "The link between the historical evidence and the biblical narration, written much later, is largely missing. There's a kind of fiction about the 10th century. They try to link whatever they find to the biblical narration. They have a button, and they want to make a suit out of it."

classic arabian tactic of flipping the truth on top of itself to cover their own lie. "see you are the liar" they say. it is the arabians account of "history" in all the land of Israel which is in doubt, not Jewish history.

If this is indeed David's Palace I will take my Sinatra CD's and a few bottles of wine over for a celebration.

It seems there have been many finds in the last months. I wonder what would happen if they really did find something big...

Hey, with Jones having a Geraldo style TV special on 8/13 or 14, who knows what he will find, although I doubt he will find the Arc.

We never know what God plans, but it sure is great!

I always wanted to play the palace!

This is fantastic news if true.

Now, I seem to recall passages which indicate the relative location to Solomon's temple...

Looks like the NY Slimes updated the original article title

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

[HarleyLady27]

does this mean that the Jewish people in Iseral can kick the Palentians back to the lower part of Egypt where they should be???

I say leave Iseral ALONE!!!
