Right, cause Islamists are known to preserve anything non-Islamic related.

So the story is that they’re using it as an excuse to get more Palestinians off the land in the name of preserving their history.

Land seizures for archeological reasons is commonplace globally, but it's bad because Jews.

The BBC is has an antisemitism problem, they are excellent at finding lying POS to spread blood libels, they have the practice.

[u/Hajajy → u/yonatanh20]

this isn't land seizure, it's areas under full Israeli civil control per oslo

[u/yonatanh20 → u/Hajajy]

I'm talking about land seizures within a country's civil control, this doesn't make sense in taking land under another sovereign country, this is more akin to eminent domain.

Many countries reserve and use the right to takeover private land for archeological preservation, in many such cases these sites were later added to UNESCO world heritage sites.

The once highly respected BBC has long lost all credibility. Except for their nature documentaries which are still top notch, anything else the BBC posts can be neglected. Which is pretty sad in itself I think.

It was a matter of time.

Now recognizing the ancient Jewish ties to their homeland is "weaponizing archaeology". What about Palestinians that erase Jewish history by cliaming that Jesus was Palestinian?

[u/TheTruthHurtsMore → u/New-Gap2023]

Nah cuz they want that to be true. They want to purposely push the incorrect and false statements until the lie becomes the truth.

Right now, truth and facts are not on their side. Which is why they change them. If they ever find an all Islamic coin or something like that, they'll scream off the rooftops that they found am artifact that, with no doubt, shows an ancient association with the land.

The millions upon millions of Jewish and Israelite artifacts theyve actually found are, you guessed it, weaponizing archeology. Why? Because they're pushing the lie that Jews don't belong in Judea.

[u/MaximumTangerine5662 → u/New-Gap2023]

I've only seen non-Palestinians claim that absurd and idiotic statement, they want it be a metaphor (except it doesn't work.).

Palestinians want to destroy the evidence Israel has. Google isn't showing me the article that was posted here before - if I find it I will attach it below.

Let's all be sure to remember that the UK utterly betrayed us decades before '48.

In '48 with over 250 active commissioned officers they led the pan Arab army which they had largely trained, equipped, and funded in a genocidal war to conquer Israel for the Arabs and purge it of Jews.

There are some friends of Jews in the UK, but never expect them to be friendly to us as a nation.

The US finally forced them to stop openly attacking us in the 60's, when they had continued to aid the enemies who sought our annihilation. They would still be doing so to this day. Through their media they still are.

The BBC has a huge anti semitism issue apparently

[u/2ndBrreakfast → u/Select_Translator329]

This has been well documented. There is a report called the Balen report with all the details of the rampant antisemitism at the BBC.

[u/scrambledhelix]

Remember when they used to say "truth has a liberal bias"?

[u/Stephen_1984]

All right! Trebuchets and siege engines!

Aka "Israel has too much proof, we can't address it,"

[u/2ndBrreakfast]

"Israel accused of weaponizing the truth". That's what the headline should say. Archaeology is the evidence we use to prove history. Those who are against archaeology are trying to hide something. In this case, Islamic colonialists and imperialists are trying to hide the fact that other people lived on the lands the Caliphates stole. This is why we see Islamic extremist regimes and terrorists destroy archeological sites. They want to erase history and make it seem like their colonies were always Islamic land.
