So, the Dead Sea Scrolls are undeniably written in Hebrew. However, the Palestinians are now stating that these ancient documents are, like Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, Arab Muslim in origin. Confused? So are we! The ridiculous campaign to delegitimize Israel seems to never cease. There has been an immeasurable amount of evidence clearly showing Jewish connection to the Temple Mount, even within Muslim inscriptions! Carmel Shama-Hacohen, Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO, said the Palestinians raised the matter informally during a recent meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee for Promoting the Return of Cultural Property to its Countries of Origin. According to the ambassador and to…

A recent discovery of an inscription from the early Islamic period has been added to the pile of evidence attesting to a long Jewish connection to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, contrary to recent decisions taken by the United Nations. The inscription, which was found during the excavation of a mosque in the Palestinian village of Nuba near Hebron, refers to what is now called the Dome of the Rock as “Bait al-Maqdess,” the Arabic version of “Beit Hamikdah,” which is Hebrew for the Temple. According to Israeli archaeologists Asaf Avraham and Peretz Reuven, the unique inscription dates to the 10th century,…
In response to UNESCO’s recent passage of the resolution denying all Jewish or Christian connections to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) has called on Christians around the world to send Bibles to the UNESCO offices in Paris to remind them of the irrefutable history of the site. Hundreds of Bibles have already been posted to UNESCO with many of its references to “Jerusalem” and the “Temple” being highlighted throughout, and thousands more are expected to arrive in the coming weeks. “We were very shocked and disappointed that UNESCO would adopt such a flawed resolution,”…
Bible scholar and Israel Prize winner Shmuel Ahituv revealed a rare papyrus fragment in which Jerusalem is mentioned. The papyrus was obtained through the theft prevention division of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). The ancient parchment has been dated to the 7th century BCE, which makes it one of only three papyri documents from that time period. The document from the First Temple period, of which only two lines of ancient Hebrew script have survived , is a dispatch regarding a gift of wine “to Jerusalem.” The text itself reads: “[hand]maid of the king, from Na’arata, wineskins, wine, to Jerusalem.”…
Amid the uproar caused by the final UN resolution passed this week denying any Jewish connection to Jerusalem and its Temple Mount, Pope Francis insisted that Israel’s ties to the Holy Land are both ancient and divinely ordained. “The people of Israel, who from Egypt, where they were enslaved, walked through the desert for forty years until they reached the land promised by God,” the pope said during a speech about migration. Shortly after, the pontiff met with Israeli Deputy Minister for Regional Cooperation Ayoub Kara who, despite not being Jewish or Christian himself, said Francis’ words were a clear…
Archaeologists have uncovered remarkable evidence of the ancient Jewish connection to Jerusalem in the very same week that UNESCO and the Palestinian Authority (PA) were declaring that Jews have no ties to Jerusalem. Talk about the irony. The latest discovery of a site where the Roman army assaulted Jewish forces guarding the outer walls of Jerusalem, during the Second Temple period, completely destroys the lies of the U.N. and the Palestinian Authority. The Romans were attacking Jewish forces during the Second Temple period, which according to the Palestinians, never existed. To top it off, there was no evidence of any Palestinian…
With the constant discussion and news of “ethnic cleansing”, it is refreshing to shed some light on what is actually happening in Israel. Above is a short video by Hananya Naftali. Enjoy!

Dozens of civilians were killed as airstrikes flattened residential buildings in rebel-held east Aleppo on Monday, despite Western warnings of sanctions against Syria and Russia over attacks on the city. Once Syria’s thriving commercial hub, Aleppo has been ravaged by bombing raids and intensifying clashes as President Bashar Assad’s forces fight to capture opposition-held parts of the city. Russian air support of the onslaught, which has destroyed hospitals and other civilian infrastructures, has spurred accusations of potential war crimes and threats of punitive sanctions. World powers are expected to follow up on last-ditch diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict, which has…
