Palestinians demand return of "their" heritage -- Dead Sea Scolls

[member]

Now who would ever believe that Steve would use a site such as this????

Bible Believers - Wikipedia

Hmm. Mark Weber. Now where have we heard that name before?

Mark Weber

I AM NOT A ZIONIST............ZIONISTS HAVE A VERY MYOPIC VIEW OF THE WORLD=WE ARE THE CHOSEN FEW<THE REST OF THE WORLD CAN GO TO HELL ........yep heard it all before

Instead of your bringing up this"chosen" stuff from the hate sites, why not do some research to see what it is meant to be chosen for. If you had to follow the 613 commandments that the Orthodox Jews do, you would have no time for your drinking. While you are busy doing that, no doubt you will have a little time to also ask the Imam at your local mosque if the Muslims are to take over the world for Islam. My, are you going to make a cute dhimmi.

As I say Hoss........"THE LESS RELIGION....THE MORE CIVILIZATION".................so much for living in your draconian Zionista past.....me......I'm a Civilized Man...,steve

Civilised men dont LIE to cover up their other LIES, they admit what they are doing and have the strength to stand up for their convictions. All you do is deny the evidence when confronted with it, proving that your argument is as weak as you are.


You are a coward and a weak willed person

Look Hoss>>>>>READ MY LIPS>>>>>>I DO NOT DO HATE SITES>>>>>>I DO NOT DO ZIONIST HATE SITES>>>>>>>I DO NOT HATE>>>>READ MY LIPS>>>>>>>>NO DRINKING HERE>>>>>>I NOTE YOUR ATTITUDE SINCE THE ELECTION,AND I KNOW THERE WILL BE NO MORE HILLARY TO GLOAT OVER,IT WAS JUST SEX WITH YOU(WITH HER)>>>>>>TAKE AN ICE SHOWER>>>>>>>YOU'LL GET OVER HER.....Your friend steve

You are caught with your pants down with everything on display and still you deny that you use hate sites.


Your opening sentence is lifted straight from a hate site, even the description of Zionist and Zionism is word for word from the hate sites. Your denial is like an alcoholic stating that they dont drink when they are sat in a pub with a glass of cider in their hands and another 4 on the table.

You are a proven LIAR

YOU ARE AN IDIOT...............The ZIONIST HATE SITES ARE THE WORLDS WORST......YOU CANNOT ABIDE ANY CRITICISM TOWARDS YOUR UNGODLY TERRORIST ORGANIZATION....YOU try to demonize Eloy,Tinnie,Monti,Penny,Fanger and all(lovely polite,generous Pro,P's)....to intimidate them to stop their Truth and Rights against you SYNTHETICS...Not Me, I'm a Brawler,prepared to cut and slice verbally against injustice.......and Filth....You are not only Criminals but Uncouth with it,the extent to your deceit and shameful behaviour is the spokesperons you use in any interviews.....instead of the Jewish-Hebrew?Israeli?Zionist ACCENT......Glutteral at best in English......You normally use English Jews who have a softer and more intelligible sound in English......SO SENSITIVE YOU ARE TO CRITICIM.......You are truly Synthetic in every Aspect ......

How about you detail these alleged zionist hate sites then, just saying that there are some is nothing short of being desperate to show there are.

I dont have to try very hard as like you they demonise themselves every time, it does not take much when you lift your C&P straight from the hate sites and dont even try to hide it.Your latest attempts all went straight to a neo nazi anti Jew site, I wonder why. The only synthetic on here is you and even this came from one of your hate sites where it is used all the time to denote any Jew. You are neo nazi scum that is all mouth and trousers, and would go running to teacher the first time someone turned on you. So now the hate sites are preaching that Zionism is a criminal offence because they cant raise any support. I use no one in any interviews and the Hebrew language sounds the same no matter what the mother tongue is, it is on a par with Gregorian chants and Buddhist mantras You dont do criticism ( note spelling ) you do islamonazi propaganda, islamofascist blood libel and neo marxist lies all lifted from the hate sites that are being slowly closed down for inciting violence and racial intolerance. Maybe the authorities in Brick lane will pay you a visit and close you down

Huh...........more of your ineptitude,when you have the internal fortitude(GUTS) to show where I have used Hate Sites then let me know...YOU CAN'T because I never have

I do it all the time, and you dont like it. You cry every time I do it that you dont use the hate sites when patently your posts are copied word for word from them. Even your latest buzz words come from hate sites where they were invented for morons like you to spread, and I posted the sites that use them. You are not intelligent enough to have come up with the terms plastic Jew and synthetic Zionist all by yourself.


So about these alleged zionist hate sites, will we get a list before Christmas or will you ignore the requests as is your normalpractise

INSANE MELTDOWN MOMENT

You have been caught hundreds of times LYING and using hate sites like the good little islamonazi scum you are. Very soon you will lose your internet and go missing for a month or so when your tame mod can no longer cover for you

You are such RIDICULE,as to warrant such mirth.......only you lie and hate as your Mantra requires and dictate nothing but Zionist Hatred......It is plain for all to see.....I have you Zionist pegged,Shameful lot you are..........

Once again you show your inability to come up with any personal anecdotes so steal other peoples and then claim they are yours. A typical islamonazi trick that you use the world over.


You should either learn English or learn how to use your spell checker as your illiteracy is showing in every post. As you are shown your definition of Zionism is what you and your fellow islamonazi scum practise, the real definition is


What is the definition of Zionism?
“An international movement originally for the establishment of a Jewish national or religious community in Palestine and later for the support of modern Israel,” according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Who supports Zionism?
People who identify with Zionism generally support the creation and development of Israel as a Jewish nation. Not all Jews support Zionism.

What is Zionism? Everything you need to know as Labour anti-Semitism row rumbles on

You have no one pegged because you dont have the brains to even think about what Zionism really means. What is it the true Saudi muslims call you converts again, and only allow you a 2 week window to visit Mecca and live in tents ?

Thats it fake muslims good for being cannon fodder

What is the definition of Zionism?
“An international movement originally for the establishment of a Jewish national or religious community in Palestine and later for the support of modern Israel,” according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.

And let's be REAL clear what this is. It is the EXACT equivalent to the Palestinian national movement which can be expressed in the same manner:

An international movement originally for the establishment of an Arab Muslim national or religious community in Palestine and later for the support of modern Palestine.

If you support one and don't support the other, strictly by principle, you are discriminating against one of the groups.

 

[Challenger]

I am still looking for actual evidence that would support the claim that the discovery of these artifacts, which demonstrate a connection to the present day Jewish Culture, are "Zionist Mythology." Zionism was established as a political platform in mid-19th Century; most closely associated with Theodor Herzl, and the re-constitution of the Jewish National Home. The mid-20th Century discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls would seem to rule-out any Mythology associated with the Independence of Israel.

Those that rewrite the history of the Middle East, are unlikely to be convinced by any facts or discoveries.

Most Respectfully,
R

Try looking with your eyes open.

You appear to be one of those who has either swallowed the Zionist re-write of the history of the Middle East, so are definitely unlikely to be convinced by facts, or are another pais or unpaid shill for the Zionist regime.

Zionism existed pre-Herzl as a whacko fringe ideology amongst the then Jewish population who saw themselves as natives of their respective countries who just happened to follow a different religion, and amongst Protestant Christians who promoted the idea of "the Jews" "returning" to Jerusalem to build their temple and so usher in the "Second Coming".

Zionist/Nationalist historians such as Heinrich Graetz basically invented a Jewish "nation" and pushed the "diaspora" myth coupled with Biblical "events" to create a spurious link between Jewish Europeans and Americans and the so called "holy land".

 

[Challenger]

So what's your stance on balestinians destroying the artifacts around the Temple Mount, using bulldozers to just pile what they dig around it into garbage sites?

The Temple Mount Sifting Project was revealed some priceless treasures. Its makes one want to weep with knowing so much was torn apart and destroyed. All of the volunteers who dedicate their time to this project are a blessing. And under the careful guardianship of the Jewish people, priceless artifacts from all eras and of all faiths are being found, rescued, preserved and protected.

Obviously the Arab Muslims are not responsible caretakers. And no priceless Jewish artifacts should be given over to their keeping.

Why obviously? Palestinians looked after the scrolls for 20 years and made them available to scholars from all over the world.

Oh my. You DO know what the Temple Mount Sifting Project IS, don't you?

It is nine tons of "debris" which was removed from an irreplaceable thousands-years-old archaeological site containing hundreds of thousands of objects, all of which are now out-of-context and many which may have been intact and have now been destroyed. The information lost is staggering.

Do you really believe that the destruction of a precious ancient archaeological site isn't OBVIOUSLY poor caretakership?

Speaking specifically of the scrolls, their mishandling was also significant -- from them being "restored" and held together with adhesive tape, to sealing them in manila envelopes, to mildew growth -- which resulted in the destruction or deterioration of many fragments. It wasn't until Israel became caretakers of the scrolls that their deterioration was arrested.

Yes thanks, enough to know that nothing of major significance has been found so far and the bulk of artifacts discovered are either Roman/Byzantine, Crusader or Muslim. when the debris was removed it was under archaological supervision. No one knows what or how many objects the site of the so called "Solomon's Stables" may or may not have contained, there's at least one respected theory that suggests the site was in fact a disused water cistern that was filled in with rubbish.

As for the scrolls themselves, they were no more mishandeled than any other artifact of the time based on the then available technology. Go to the British Museum and you'll find Egyptian papyri in the archives held together with adhesive tape, pending restoration by modern methods, so your argument doesn't hold water.

 

[Challenger]

So is the fact that the Temple was destroyed makes Jews less Jewish?

Not sure what you mean here; the religion itself changed it's focus in the Rabbinic period and split into different factions/rites. How the various sects practiced Judaism has no bearing on this topic.

 

[Challenger]

Challenger, Shusha, RYLAH, FOREVERYOUNG436, HOSSFLY, ELOY, et al,

There are a couple of things we glean here, in this discussion.

• There are those who would believe anything that would further the anti-Israeli cause.
• There are those who would believe that ancient artifacts written (predominately) in Hebrew and Aramaic (with a small percentage written in other languages) have no common source within the developing Jewish Culture. As if Hebrew was principle language of the Arab at between 200 BC and 200 AD when the bulk of the scrolls were created.
• There were found Books of Deuteronomy and Isaiah, as well as Psalms attributed to King David (Humm, just imagine - I'm hard pressed to associate King David with being an Arab or zionist myth) and Joshua. Are they not early Key Jewish Personalities?
  • What was the name of David's Kingdom? (I forget!)
• There are those who would ignore the discovery of ancient Hebrew text (like The Isaiah Scroll - making it a bit of a mystery, but not Arab) that are a millennium older than any other known copy.

Zionism didn't create the Dead Sea Scrolls

Just another ridiculous attempt to disconnect the Jewish people from our past and history.

What past? What history? You mean the made up Zionist mythology that you push with such enthusiasm? Modern Jewish people are part of a religious group with little to no connection to Palestine other than the fact that for a while Jerusalem was the cult centre.

Most Judeans were never "exiled" by the Romans (who, incidentally, did a thorough job of exterminating the Jewish religious rebel fanatics they came across), they remained and eventually converted to Christianity, then Islam. The real Judeans are the native Palestinians ethnically cleansed by the European Zionist colonists, or living under their brutal occupation.

Excellent post. The majority of the Dead Sea Scrolls are in Hebrew--the language of the Jewish People with only a few in Aramaic (the language of the Talmud), and in Greek. All of the books of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), with the sole exception of Esther, are represented. The Dead Sea Scrolls are not in Arabic, nor do they contain the Quran or even the New Testament.

So what? Hadrian's wall recently gave up hundreds of Roman documents written in Latin, does that mean they should be returned to Italy?

Twisting the truth again rat boy because you know Zionism will not go away in your lifetime. That the concept has been around for the last 2000 years and has grown in strength while your neo marxism has declined to nothing

Not what mainsteam media has been reporting, just the hate sites and islamonazi pallywood outlets.

So no more destruction that what was found in many of the Jewish holy places that were defiled and the artifacts defaced and defiled. Is that what you are trying to say ?

[Hossfly]

Now who is going to declare that this belongs to the Palestinians?


He sits pensively, his hand on his chin, like a Middle Bronze Age predecessor to Rodin’s famous sculpture “The Thinker.”His eyes stare blankly as he sits atop a pot that was shattered sometime after it was buried some 3,800 years ago.

​

The unique clay statuette, mounted atop a ceramic vessel, was found in the central Israel town of Yehud by a team of Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologists, who paired up with high school students in October.
News of the discovery was reported by the IAA on Wednesday.
Gilad Itach, the archaeologist heading the dig, said that on the last day of excavations, just before construction of a building commenced on site, they found the 18-centimeter (seven-inch) tall figurine, along with an assortment of other items.


Clay figurine is Bronze Age ancestor of Rodin’s ‘Thinker’

Try reading my post before venting, I said nothing of major significance; bullae are "10 a penny" in archaeological terms as are coins and odd floor tiles, all items commonly found in ancient middens.
