And what of the 'trash' on the Temple Mount?

Reader comment on item: Sacred Trash

Submitted by sasha (China), Mar 8, 2012 at 01:18

What about the abhorrent way in which the Muslim authorities in Al Aqsa dig underneath into ancient Jewish ritual sites and parts of the holy temple? They try to throw away all of the precious archeological evidence that proves the presence of the Jews and their temple in antiquity. I have read that Israeli archeologists regularly sift through the trash in the dumpsters outside the arab side and find incredible things.

Yes, it is incredible to me that the sovereign Israeli authorities permit to take place under their noses. These are irreparable loses.
