Palestinians Seek to Erase Jewish History
(Fox News) Ben Evansky - The Palestinian Authority is looking to dismantle Judeo-Christian ties to the Holy Land as it seeks to invent a new narrative favoring its claims in the region. PA President Mahmoud Abbas claimed on Palestinian TV in 2016 that "our narrative says that we were in this land since before Abraham." Palestinian leaders dismiss Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount, as an "alleged Temple." At the same time, "every single day, archaeological excavations in the City of David - the place where Jerusalem began...are affirming not simply as a matter of faith, but as a matter of fact, the millennia-old connection of Jews and Christians to Jerusalem," said Ze'ev Orenstein, director of international affairs for the City of David archeological site. "This includes the discovery of millennia-old inscriptions affirming biblical events; ancient seals with the names - in Hebrew - of figures straight out of the pages of the Bible."
