Revisionist Lies come undone

Since 2005 a number of discoveries have been made in Israel that support Biblical claims and counter the Politically Correct Revisionist Lies of some Literati who number their IQ's in the hundreds instead of the 10's.

In 2005, in a brief note entitled: King David's Palace in Jerusalem, I reported that according to The Washington Post Israeli archaeologist Eilat Mazar believed that she had found King's David's Palace. It was pointed out that:

• Some archaeologists believe Jerusalem was no more than a tiny hilltop village when it served as David's capital. The discovery of a palace or other large public building from David's time would strengthen the opposing view that he and his son, Solomon, presided over a civilization grander than the collection of rural clans some historians say made up the Jewish kingdom.

Another Discovery made at the same time was that Israeli's could write in the Time of King David. According to an Associated Press  Report, an Archaeologist claimed that Israelites could read 3000 years ago.

• Scholars say the discovery by Pittsburgh archaeologist Ron E. Tappy, a professor at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, is the most concrete evidence that Israelites were literate as early as the 10th century B.C.
  
  "This is very rare. This stone will be written about for many years to come," Tappy said Wednesday at a news conference. "This makes it very historically probable there were people in the 10th century (B.C.) who could write."

Much later still in an article entitled: Even the Dead Succumb to PC,  I wrote about Political Correctness Revision of History, which was nothing more than Anti-Semitism supporting the Palestinian claims to the historical sovereignity of Israel. I quote:

• "The world of archeology is rocked by evidence of King David's palace unearthed in Jerusalem" - by Rachel Ginsberg.
  
  The topic is King David's Palace in Jerusalem. The article warns us 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, are wrong. 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.
  
  The article points out that:
  
  Adam Zertal in 1983 discovered an enormous sacrificial altar on Mount Eval, but when not being ignored by the academic world was 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 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.
  
  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.

Last month (February 2008) a new discovery was announced: 1st Temple seal found in City of David.

• An ancient seal bearing an archaic Hebrew inscription dating back to the 8th century BCE has been uncovered in an archeological excavation in Jerusalem's City of David, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Thursday. The find reveals that by 2,700 years ago, clerks and merchants had already begun to add their names to the seals instead of the symbols that were used in earlier centuries.

Despite all the Anti-Semitic and Anti-Biblical Lies that Muslims and Other Politically Correct Liars spew forth, the Biblical Claim of the Modern Jewish State is being supported by possibly the most anti-biblical field of academic study, that of archaeology.

As Mario Seiglie reported in King David: Man or Myth?

• Slowly, as more excavations bring to light new material, the biblical record continues to gain solid historical backing. So far, archaeology has confirmed the existence of the following kings of Israel and Judah: Omri, Ahab, Jeroboam II, Jehu, Pekah, Hoshea, Ahaz, Hezekiah and Manasseh. Now David is also placed in this growing list of historically confirmed kings and no longer viewed as a myth.
  
  In 1993 a fragment of a monument was found at the site of the ancient Israelite city of Dan that mentioned David and his dynasty dating to about 100 years after David's death.
  
  Then another mention of King David was found in a monument of about the same time. It is called the Moabite Stone or the Mesha Stela. Discovered in 1868

As I wrote in the article: Freedom of the Press an Oxymoron  "I wonder how many people ever take the time out to decide for themselves what they do and do not believe and that of which they do and do not approve. Perhaps I'm just a cynic. Personally, I tend to believe what my father taught me": ' People only ever believe what they want to believe!'

Today's Palestinians are not the descendants of the Philistines, either by parentage or religion. The original Philistines came from the Aegean and were Egyptian Mercenaries.  They worshiped idols and the fire God Molech, unto whom they sacrificed their children so that the gods would bless them. Come to think of it. This description sure fits the picture of Palestine today. See: Mothers who kill their own children.
