Stealing Jewish Land: 300 Fake Tombstones

Stealing Jewish Land: 300 Fake Tombstones Removed So Far at Jerusalem Muslim Cemetery

Imagine if non-Muslims ever pulled this disgusting "stunt" in a Muslim country; they'd be torn limb from limb for sport.

300 Fake Tombstones Removed So Far at Jerusalem Muslim Cemetery Gil Ronen

(Israelnationalnews.com) The Jerusalem Municipality has thus far removed 300 false tombstones that were built in the course of the past few weeks at the Mamilla Muslim cemetery in central Jerusalem. The tombs were built by Muslim elements who took advantage of the fact that the Jerusalem Municipality's Health Department granted them a permit to clean up and fix existing tombstones. Instead of just cleaning graves, however, the Muslims hired workers to try and grab land from the adjoining Independence Park (Gan HaAtzmaut).

After the land-grab hoax was discovered by Arutz Sheva, the Jerusalem Municipality filed a complaint with the police and immediately put a stop to all work at the site. On Monday this week, a court rejected the Muslims' request for a temporary order against the Municipality and granted the Municipality permission to remove the fictitious new tombstones.

Each new tombstone is dismantled only after an expert from the Antiquities Authority inspects it and confirms that it is indeed a new tombstone.

The new tombstones had no graves or human remains beneath them. Plastic bottles, cigarette packs and irrigation pipes were found beneath some of them. Others were built atop a sewage pipe.

OT but related: For a number of years already, there has been continuing the selected destruction of Christian/Jewish artifacts in the city that is, of course, the center for Jewish/Christian religion.

The temple mount is Jewish, and Muslims are destroying it an alarming rate. Here we see the systematic destruction, maybe the biggest destruction in the history of geology/archeology of the most important artifacts for Christianity and Judaism. And the world knows nothing of this and does nothing about this. Nobody is permitted to go and see and watch what's happening. Excavators are working there. They are taking thousands and thousands of pounds of archeologically significant material and thousands of artifacts and simply throwing them out. It is perhaps one the largest archeological catastrophes in history.

Natan Sharansky decried the destruction of great historic artifacts here.
UPDATE: Islamic movement tried to remove evidence of Jewish Jerusalem
