Palestinian researchers: "No truth to the Jewish claim that the Temple of Solomon was in Jerusalem"
Headline: “Researchers: Serious inconsistencies in Israeli versions of the ‘location of the Temple’”
“Zakariya Al-Sinwar , a lecturer in modern and contemporary history at the Islamic University [in Gaza], said that there were inconsistencies in the Israeli theories regarding the location of the ‘Temple.’
During a conference organized by the Al-Quds International Institution in Gaza on the subject of the alleged ‘Temple’… several researchers and experts participating in the conference emphasized that there was no truth to the Jewish claim that the Temple of Solomon was in Jerusalem – especially in light of the fact that no remains have been found to support the biblical theory. They demanded that interest in research be increased, to reveal the lie behind the Jewish claim and to reveal the crimes of the occupation and the continuous excavations in the area of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Researcher Omar Al-Kharroubi said that the strange thing was that [although] the Jewish story maintains that the alleged Temple was built in the tenth century BCE, the talk about it being located beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque began only 800 years ago. In addition, the Jews began sanctifying the Mosque’s Western Wall no more than 400 years ago – ‘[a fact] which proves the Jewish lie.’”
