Last part of that title should have read "antiquities, law"
Is The Temple Mount A Historical Structure.
One of my businesses is a company that specializes in historical restorations. As I look at the Temple Mount and its alterations over the years I wonder just what if anything of a historical nature remains.
Two major renovations which didn't even remotely resemble historical restorations took place in the 65 to 72 period by the Jordanians. Both the dome and many, if not most of the buildings were demolished and new structures built.
Which effectively means that no historic structures remain on the temple mount at this time.
If Israel at some time in the future decides that placating the Muslims is no longer policy would they be in violation of international antiquities laws by tearing down the modern constructs on the Temple Mount.
Kicking and screaming aside what are the legal confines of demolishing non historical structures in Israel? Does religious significance hold any merit in Israeli law ?
