U.S. Congresswoman: Jerusalem's Archaeological Discoveries Prove Historic Jewish Ties
(Jerusalem Post) Daniel K. Eisenbud - Challenges to the inexorable connection of Jews to Jerusalem have been unequivocally disproved by archeological discoveries, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), chairwoman of the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on the Middle East & North Africa, said last Friday. "For quite some time, there has been an effort at the United Nations to delegitimize the Jewish State of Israel, and to try to whitewash the Jewish peoples' historical and Biblical connection to Israel. Denying the historic connection of the Jewish people to Jerusalem is false. Amazing archeological discoveries are frequently made that prove the roots of the Jewish people are in Israel." These prove that "not only is Israel the religious center for Jews, it is their ancestral and historic homeland."
