Israeli historians seem to disagree with you.
Take it up with them. I'm sure they'll be impressed by your internet archaeological skills.
Which Israeli historians?
Israeli archaeologists have announced that ruins long thought to be of an ancient synagogue are actually the remains of a palace used by Muslim caliphs 1,300 years ago.

Where in the Salon article did it say "Israeli historians". I must have missed it.

Where in the Salon article did it say "Israeli historians". I must have missed it. They also didn't really go into detail except to say that originally it was identified as a synagogue because of a carving of a menorah but 'now they say they were wrong'. Not a lot of detail there.
But I wouldn't be surprised anyway... romans built over jewish sites... then the crusaders built over those sites... then arabs over those...
or was the Dome of the Rock not built on the holiest of Jewish sites?

Things like this kinda suck when the ultimate goal is the legitimize non-jews in the area, eh?

Why would this suck for those who wish to legitimize non-jews?
And I'm of the notion that the whole jew/non-jew thing is damn stupid. It really doesn't matter one whit in today's middle eastern politics whose great - great - great - great - great - great -greatgreatgreatgreat (*gasp*....BIIIIIIIG breath) great-great-great grandpappy was there first. But the Arabs have seemed intent on making it a life or death racist issue for a few decades now anyway. Sadly, it seems that some Israelis are taking on the same view.

Is this the historic precedent for America's great Liberal or Conservative debate ?

What sucks is that rather than just say, 'ok, that's interesting', you have a thread full of people who are using it as a way to say 'f'you' to jews. i'd hope that wasn't your intent in posting the information.
as for israelis, they're intent on not being dead. and not that they're always right... (our govt has done a few wrong things too, yes?)... but unlike with most countries, the people who don't agree with them seem to want them to disappear.

Except you don't have conservatives screaming "death to the infidel" while blowing themselves up at PETA meetings, and liberals aren't bulldozing down piggly wigglies to build settlements.
/loves me some Piggly Wiggly.
//And the Hoggly Woggly! (yes it does, or did, exist).

You just have Arabs building settlements. Israelis build residences.
