If there is one thing I hate it is the PC 'hidden agenda'. PC militants are liars and deceivers who do everything to control the minds and thoughts of the general public, but I saw a new twist on this theme in an article recently forwarded to me, entitled:
The topic was King David's Palace in Jerusalem. Some of the points made within the article can act as warnings to us of the power of those who push the PC Agenda.
I have read time and time again that the Israelis stole Palestine from the Palestinian people, and that the Israeli historical claims are false. Some claim that the Israelites originally stole the land from the Philistines, and therefore, from the Palestinians.
The article mentioned above points out that:
- [For]academics and intellectuals, King David and his united kingdom of Judah and Israel,...is simply a piece of fiction [because they claim]
- The traditional [Biblical] account was resurrected by the Zionists to justify dispossessing Palestinian Arabs.
However, a brilliant archaeologist, after years of hard work, has discovered that those who want to rewrite history to suit their political agendas, have been trying to fool the public.
- Mazar's latest excavation in the City of David, in the southern shadow of the Temple Mount, has shaken up the archaeological world.
- [Originally] she couldn't find any financial backers
- [Because the search] would just be too politically complicated.
We are further informed that Adam Zertal who in 1983 discovered an enormous sacrificial altar on Mount Eval, was ignored by the academic world and accused of being 'politically motivated'. How can the discovery of an ancient artifact be ignored on the basis that its finder may or may not be 'politically motivated'?
As one person in the article is quoted as saying: 'It's bad for business to find things from the Bible these days.
No only is it bad for business, and politically inconvenient to discover that the Biblical records are 'factual historical records', but they are a threat to the Palestinian claims to Jerusalem. As the article points out:
- Mazar has for the past six years tried to alert the world to the vandalism being perpetrated by the Muslim Waqf, who have their own agenda of destroying remnants of proof of Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem, and who consistently deny that there ever was a First or Second Temple.
- The greatest breech was discovered in 1999, when the Waqf bulldozed and then paved over close to 6,000 square meters of the ancient Temple Mount surface. [In an attempt to hide ancient artifacts].
When any organisation espousing any 'truth' needs to lie, cover up the truth, or destroy evidence in order to validate their position, that organisation is diabolic, and those who support such organisations, are fools at best, or low lifes at worst. Many PC militants are low lifes in my opinion.
Take the PC claim that Israel first belonged to the Palestinians (that is to say the Philistines). Such a claim is contrary to known history, but as is demonstrated in all totalitarian states, history is whatever the dictators say it is.
The Philistines did not 'settle' in Palestine until sometime after the reign of Rehoboam, son of Solomon. Prior to that time and for many centuries previously, they were mercenaries of the Egyptians. The Philistines hail from the Aegean Islands, and consisted of many different groups, and it is thought that they got their name from the group called the 'Peleset'.
Now for all those deluded into thinking that Israel 3000 years ago destroyed the Philistines and took away their land, kindly pay attention. The peoples (many groups) displaced by the Israelites, were those people given the general name 'Canaanites'. The Philistines and Canaanites were two different groups, and the Philistines, under Egyptian directives, also dispossessed Canaanites.
The Philistines as a people however, eventually disappear from the pages of history and into the ages of times past. The Palestinians today, are not the descendants of Philistines, either by parentage or religion. The Philistines worshiped idols and the fire God Molech, unto whom the Philistines sacrificed their children so that the gods would bless them. Hm! Come to think of it. This description sure fits the picture of Palestine today.

What is the King's Calendar? http://www.kingscalendar.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=viewnews&id=348
The King's Calendar' is a computer generated mathematical synchronous chronological presentation of the history of Ancient Israel, as principally recorded in the Biblical books of Kings and Chronicles, and sets forth Apologetics for and the results of R.P.BenDedek's discovery of an "artificial chronological scheme" running through the Books of the Bible, Josephus,the Damascus Documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Seder Olam Rabbah.
