Top Israeli archaeologists contest Jewish ties to Jerusalem
Palestine Information Center – 08/08/2011
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — Top Israeli archaeologist Israel Finkelstein has denied the existence of Jewish roots in the city of Jerusalem, contrary to Israel’s claims that have prompted continued Judaization of the city.
Finkelstein, a professor at Tel Aviv University, said Jewish archaeologists have failed to unearth historic sites to support some of the stories in the Torah. Among those stories are the Jewish Exodus, the forty-year wandering in the Sinai desert, and Joshua’s victory over the Canaanites.
He also said there was no archaeological evidence that concludes that the alleged Temple of Solomon ever existed.
For his part, Professor of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University Raphael Greenberg said that the Israelis should have found something after digging for six weeks in the City of David in East Jerusalem’s Silwan district, but have found nothing in two years of continuous excavations.
Prof. Yoni Mihrazi, an independent archaeologist who has worked with the International Atomic Energy Agency, agreed with Finkelstein’s findings, saying that top settler organization Elad had not stumbled upon even a banner saying “welcome to the city of David”, given that claims were made to have been relying on sacred texts to guide them in their work.

The State and Local Bases of Zionist Power in America
By James Petras – September 1, 2010
Any serious effort to understand the extraordinary influence of the Zionist power configuration over US foreign policy must examine the presence of key operatives in strategic positions in the government and local Zionist organizations affiliated with mainstream Jewish organizations and religious orders. There are at least 52 major American Jewish organizations actively engaged in promoting Israel’s foreign policy, economic and technological agenda in the US (see the appendix).
The grassroots membership ranges from several hundred thousand militants in the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) to one hundred thousand wealthy contributors, activists and power brokers in the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). In addition scores of propaganda mills, dubbed think tanks, have been established by million dollar grants from billionaire Zionists including the Brookings Institute (Haim Saban) and the Hudson Institute among others. Scores of Zionist funded political action committees (PAC) have intervened in all national and regional elections, controlling nominations and influencing election outcomes. Publishing houses, including university presses have been literally taken over by Zionist zealots, the most egregious example being Yale University, which publishes the most unbalanced tracts parroting Zionist parodies of Jewish history (Financial Times book review section August 28/29 2010). New heavily funded Zionist projects designed to capture young Jews and turn them into instruments of Israeli foreign policy includes “Taglit-Birthright” which has spent over $250 million dollars over the past decade sending over a quarter-million Jews (between 18-26) to Israel for 10 days of intense brainwashing (Boston Globe August 26, 2010). Jewish billionaires and the Israeli state foot the bill. The students are subject to a heavy dose of Israeli style militarism as they are accompanied by Israeli soldiers as part of their indoctrination; at no point do they visit the West Bank, Gaza or East Jerusalem (Boston Globe August 26, 2010). They are urged to become dual citizens and even encouraged to serve in the Israeli armed forces. In summary the 52 member organizations of the Presidents of the Major American Jewish Organizations which we discuss are only the tip of the iceberg of the Zionist Power Configuration: taken together with the PACs, the propaganda mills, the commercial and University presses and mass media we have a matrix of power for understanding the tremendous influence they have on US foreign and domestic policy as it affects Israel and US Zionism.
While all their activity is dedicated first and foremost in ensuring that US Middle East policy serves Israel’s colonial expansion in Palestine and war aims in the Middle East, what B’nai B’rth euphemistically calls a “focus on Israel and its place in the world”, many groups ‘specialize’ in different spheres of activity. For example, the “Friends of the Israel Defense Force” is primarily concerned in their own words “to look after the IDF”, in other words provide financial resources and promote US volunteers for a foreign army (an illegal activity except when it involves Israel). Hillel is the student arm of the Zionist power configuration claiming a presence in 500 colleges and universities, all affiliates defending each and every human rights abuse of the Israeli state and organizing all expenses paid junkets for Jewish student recruits to travel to Israel where they are heavily propagandized and encouraged to ‘migrate’ or become ‘dual citizens’. … continue

pasty white khazars with fucked up noses who are mostly miami, new york, or los angeles ‘fake’ jews don’t have any more claim to jerusalem than Walt Disney would have to Tel Aviv when he was alive.
unfortunately, there are far too few FINKELSTEINS in the world (two so far) that have the balls to stand up to these fake khazar ‘body snatcher’ fraudulent jews who are no more judaic than the chinese are judaic.
actually chinese probably have about as much legitimacy claiming palestine, in comparison to the khazar fake jew fuckers who do this.
someday the world will wake up and see these pasty white faces with the fucked up beeks as FRAUDS that they are.
khazars ultimately get discovered and then summarily tossed out of every nation they try to hijack and take over.
this time it will be no different. only this time, who’ll take their sorry fake jew asses?
who?
More and more evidence of what was cover-up by any means and very often by laws. What a better way to have the truth staying silent that by letting politicians hide it since they are very much money and image sensitive!
Khazars =>>> Jews =>>> Blackmailing =>>> …
I seem to recall during one of the Crusades that a priest “uncovered” an alleged piece of the spear used to stab Christ on the cross. You can be sure that the Mossad is hard at work now and we’ll likely hear about a “major find” in Jerusalem that will allow the Zionists to claim even more control over their stolen nation, just prior to the Palestinian bid at the UN. I will admit a certain appreciation for level of deception they have been employing for so many decades. I guess the billions in free money annually from ignorant and brainwashed westerners allows it to spend large for bribery, intimidation and blackmail. Must be nice. They’re crafty but far from wise and that will be their downfall – their arrogance.
[...] http://alethonews.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/top-israeli-archaeologists-contest-jewish-ties-to-jerusal… You won’t hear about this on MSM. After over 2 years of digging, noted Israeli archaeologists have stated that they can find no archaeological evidence to prove that Solomon’s Temple even existed! This follows on the heels of a stunning announcement by eminent Egyptologist Zahi Awas earlier this year in which he stated that, based on the evidence, the exodus of Jewish belief did not happen…. at least not in the way portrayed in the Tanakh or Bible. The timing of such announcements is never coincidental. [...]
bunch of Jew haters in this site, get lost all of you. JerUSAlem will always be the Jewish capital!
Mary,
What a revealing comment. Yes, the Jews living in, as you write, JerUSAlem, do seem to come there to a large extent from the US.
The obvious question is; in what demented view of reality do they have a moral right to displace the actual Jerusalemites?
Shame on you.
