But there's nothing that they found that has anything to do with Moses, and the site they found had inscriptions from 2700 years ago, not 3200. Did you read the article?

smltwnrckr Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Is that one of the Israeli organizations that uses claims to having found archeological evidence to support Bible stories as a way to justify settlements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a historical fact that the Jewish population of Palestine pre-dates the founding of the Muslim religion by several hundred years, and its really not in dispute. Muslims didnt become the dominant demographic until after the Muslim conquest in the 7th century, when Christians were actually in the majority (which helped bring us the Crusades). But then the conflict has little to do with who came 'first', since 'first' depends on who's doing the counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Talmud is more central to the Jewish religion. So, you're saying that what I said was correct and still being pedantic?

That's not what all the fuss is about, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets even wilder if you take it back to Isaac and Ishmael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means it seems like you were arguing without saying I was wrong. I used Bible stories for a specific reason... the idea of a singular, judeochristian tradition and connection is necessary to keep american support for Israeli policies in Palestine. There's a reason most of these discoveries are also somehow related to the stories that also are in the Bible.

People being mad about 20th and 21st century settlements in Palestine has little to do with the fact that there are millenia old Christian, Muslim and Jewish sites near each other.

Using sacred texts and relics to justify contemporary state policies. And making sure those texts and relics are relevant to the most powerful people in the world's superpower is very much tied to the root of the problem. On 7/16/2024 at 2:02 PM, RSF said: Sure, ok. You're right. Palestinians not being allowed to drive on the same roads as Israelis, and having to quarter troops in their own homes against their will, is just because the wailing wall and Al-Aqsa are near each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smltwnrckr Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Good segment that offers a look into the relationship between archaeology and state power in Israel. The project that is the focus here may or may not be related at all to the research in the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
