TruthTruth benefits everyone. Question the motives of those who would destroy physical evidence of historical events. Truth benefits everyone except those who do not benefit from the truth. We should take every opportunity to uncover truth and those who oppose this idea are afraid of the truth. The destruction of historical evidence is a clear sign of the intent to change or hide the truth. It's so obvious that those who oppose the truth should be ashamed of themselves. Stop the destruction now! • • • • • • • temple siteThe route of the trench shown in red. photo by Baron Wolman. The red route sppears to be precisely wherethe outline of the torn down temple of 70ad...BAR confirms this themselves in an article "Bird's eye view of the temple mount" Volume IX, No.2, April 1983. Very interesting! • • • • • • • Use the proper equipment!It is not necessary to use a backhoe to bury electrical cables. There are several types of equipment that open a "slot" slightly wider than the cable, allowing the cable to be inserted. Think of it as a "knife" that splits the ground open. The only reason to open a wider slot is to remove a rock. This conversation would not be necessary is people would only "think" before taking destructive action. • • • • • • • Temple Mount Destructionthere is a silver lining to this event. gifted research of the debris, discovery of important artifacts, and opportunity to discover in one many trash historical treasures. Ironic, but digging a power line would make such discoveries possible to Israel and the world. I hope the Wadf gets a lot of light for his efforts, while Israel discovers remains of Jewish life and light from its past. • • • • • • • Unfair treatment!This whole situration is unfair, and biased too me. If the situration was in reverse, and this was the Isreali people doing this to a Muslim site there would be world war III. The Muslim people would not stand for such a desacration of there own sites. I hope that the jewish people can stay strong, and be able to resolve this unfair treatment to there history. If the jewish people were going to fight for any thing in this world, if would be to stop this horrible destruction. • • • • • • • Reponse to "Needless Damage"It's sad to see comments like the one posted by Cheryl Simani. Everyone thinks they have the right religion and everyone swears that Almighty God hates the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Open your eyes, the only ones that hate anyone that's not like themselves are all of us. We have all seemed to miss the message that was given by the Prophets. What a shame. • • • • • • • Response to Needless damage to Temple SiteI happened upon this blog today and would like to respond to a posting. Stephen Ray Hale (USA) posted this comment on 9/20/2007: I wonder if the Arabs have gotten clues from the large number of unbelieving Archeologists who have questioned the Bible's testimony in BAR to arrogate their opinion that the Hebrews never had a temple on this mount. I am part Cherokee and even though we still have an existing population, it is very difficult to find cultural clues pointing to our peoples that actually identify us and verify that we actually existed even two or three hundred years past. Stephen, The Muslims are not following the unbelieving archeologists. They are following the Quran, where in it is stated 21 times that the Jews and 8 times that the Christians altered the Holy Scriptures and negated The Truth, also 27 times for the Jews and 10 times for the Christians that they are evil and perverse. The doctrine is that Abraham and his descendants were given the Quran but they corrupted the Word of Allah. Therefore, to faithful Muslims NOTHING below the Muslim levels of the Temple Mount is holy, because all Jewish and Christian artifacts are lies. • • • • • • • censorshipI attempted o post to this discussion. In that post I mention that I was disappointed in the fact that several posts contained historically inaccurate facts and I anticipated a higher level of education from BAR readers. I also urged cooperation between the jewish and muslim authorities.. My post was never posted, what is more I have read several overtly zealous post urging intoleration and making no real contribution to the discussion except to inflame anger in its readers. I am shocked to realize that a magazine I have always considered fair and unbias censors everything but blatant zionism on its website (personally I believe in isreals right to exist as a nation and to isreal as their homeland however unless you advocate the annhilation of all palestinians then your post will nt be seen as i doubt this one will • • • • • • • Digging Up the Temple MountI am always amazed at what Israel endures from the Muslims trying to pacify other countries of the world That is something which can not be done no matter what their stance. Most countries of the world have shown their hatred of the Jews for 2000 years. Israel should/must take a stronger stance against all who want to destroy the country and its heritage. • • • • • • • arab denialArabs (or "palestinians") seek to deny the historical fact of Israel in antiquity, especially the presence of the ancient Jewish temples. Their wanton destruction of archeological evidence is simply an effort to deny these findings to Israel and the world. Their "Pallywood" version of history, sans Jews, cannot stand up to archeological proofs. • • • • • • • temple mountI find it astonishing that Israelis are complaining about the digs by the Temple while they remain silent on the work being done by the Israelis on the Mosque. The Moslem community has the same concern as the Jews do but their concern is also being ignored. Perhaps if both sides stop playing politics with God's house, the Palestinians could live in dignity and the Jews in peace. • • • • • • • The digging of the Temple MountHamas is now disputing the building in the east part of Jerusalem and yet thru an agreement demolishes part of the Temple Mount by digging trenches. Recently they have defaced a Jewish Temple--all without any consideration. So,I ask, who does Jerusalem belong to and whose country is it in? Why, it belongs to the Jewish people and the country of Israel in case the world has forgotten! So, this interference by outsiders must stop. And why hasn't the country of Israel been more progressive in their actions? They should know by now they are dealing with the devil who keeps not his word. How would other nations like interference with their countries agendas? When the shoe is on the other foot- there would be some grievances and they wouldnt wait for a reaction but would act immediately.So, leave ISRAEL alone to their affairs. • • • • • • • Temple Mount "Destruction"Do arhaeologists finance the delays and extra work involved in hand digging? If so, then fine. If not, then let the folks dig their utility trench and be quiet about it. • • • • • • • Digging at Temple MountI am stunned after reading and viewing the pictures regarding the mechanical digging around the Temple Mount. What could possibly justify this kind of devastation in such an archaeologically sensitive. Who, in their right mind, would authorize such and outrageous activity? I am simply dumbfounded by this. • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionFirst the destruction caused by digging that ridiculous entrance a few years ago and now this. How many more careless diggings are going to be allowed to be conducted? Laying necessary pipes is one thing, but when you're in a historically rich area such as this, care must be taken while digging. This blatant disregard and use of heavy machinery is another slap in the face. • • • • • • • Dig on TemplemountHave the Muslems given any reason for the tractor created trench? • • • • • • • Temple MountIt is paramount that someone stops the excavation by machine at any cost. It has come to my attention that what has been most sought by God's people is close. What was hidden in a cave so many centuries may be right there beneath.....!! • • • • • • • Israelâs Supreme Court Hears CPDATM PetitionWhat kind of incompetance makes up the CPDATM and its attorneys? What do you mean the "Committee and its lawyers could not respond to testimony given behind closed doors..."? Why not? Was there proper archaeological supervision or wasn't there? Is the Committee going to sit idle by and allow this ruling or are they going show proof of their case? Why is it so difficult? This should be a slam dunk! Temple artifacts have been carelessly damaged, have they not? By Muslims who apparently couldn't care less, right? I hope to hear about a victory in this case after the 21 day period is up! And how much more will be destroyed by then? • • • • • • • Destruction of temple mountWhy did they turn the temple mount over to the muslims? What were they thinking? Is anyone surprised at their behavior in destroying all these archeological treasures? • • • • • • • Muslim crimesWe have seen by the destruction of the ancient Buddhas of Bamyan statues in Afghanistan that Muslim supremecists have no regard for the holy sites of others. In Iraq Sunnis and Shiites are blowing up each others mosques. Often mosques (such as the ones in Jerusalem) are built right on top of the holy sites of others. I pray every day for a really well placed earthquake that will put an end to the 3rd holiest shrines in Islam. They deserve that. I'd have no problem sharing the site with a truly peace loving religion. Islam is not showing a peaceful face to the world. • • • • • • • Temple mount destructionI'm appalled, not just with the Israeli govt,but moreso with those dwelling in the land and Christians & Jews worldwide for not speaking up vehemently regarding this atrocity! May Hashem wake us up • • • • • • • tempel mountStop the digging. It is destroying history. • • • • • • • Temple MountThis is exciting. I'm glad that the archaeologists are allowed to continue the search and reporting their finding . The walls are getting weaker with every tractor full of dirt. Prophesy is becoming more clear. • • • • • • • "Temple Mount"While I understand others concern over the work being done, I am not convinced that this IS the true "Temple Mount". From what I read in Josephus writings, the ENTIRE city of Jerusalem was leveled EXCEPT for the Legion Antonia Fortress. This fortress was built by Herod using the same materials as the Temple, but was of a size for an entire Roman legion. The only structure that fits the description is what is now called the "Temple Mount" All of the articles in BAR have assumed that this was the site of Herod's Temple but no one has offered concrete proof, just "tradition", and supposedly a vision of Helena, Emperor Constantine's mother. So where was the actual site? It has to be south because the Antonia over looked it on the Temple's northern side. I suspect that the mysterious "Stepped-Stone Structure" is related, and possibly was built by Solomon when he built the first Temple. However, whether Temple or Antonia, the refusal to have the work properly overseen by competant archeologists is inexcusable. • • • • • • • Temple Mount trenchI am very tired of ALWAYS hearing in the media about the Temple Mount being "the 3rd most holy site" of Islam and then, secondly always, hearing it is a holy site for the Jews. It is the holiest of sites for Israel!!! I hope that the Israeli government has the courage to not allow such destruction by Muslims any longer and begin real excavations of the Temple Mount. • • • • • • • Temple Mount trenchWhile the alleged improvements on the Tmple Mount are causing a stir because of the disregard to archaealogical rules, and legal rules also,there may be some positive results. This is an additional time the Arabs are digging up the Temple Mount and have still not found important evidence, as far as we know. We know Jews restrict themselves to going to the area and so they cannot dig or really monitor what is revealed. If Jews were to digg up the Temple Mount and use archaeological rules, they would be stuck at the start of the digging and study the evidence. This way the Arabs are digging and, hopefully, will reach the really interesting levels-those of the First Temple and King Solomon's original structure- and then the Jews and the world can step in and study the really valuable finds. • • • • • • • Destruction at the Temple MountI think this is typical of the self-centered, ignorant attitude of the Moslem authorities responsible for the work near the Dome of the Rock. Since there is antagonism towards and complete disrespect of beliefs and religions other than their own, it does not surprise me that they are allowing the destruction of Byzantine and earlier Judaic artifacts. I guarantee that there would be an uproar from the Islamic community if work at a Jewish temple disturbed some Mohammedian relics. • • • • • • • TEMPLE MOUNT DESTRUCTIONI am disheartened by the blatant disregard for the sacred sit that is being destroyed. Valuable archaeological finds are being corrupted by the flagrant disregard for the importance of the Israelite history of the site. One has to wonder if Mecca would be treated with such disrespect by the Muslim authorities? • • • • • • • Temple MountI oppose any construction in the Temple Mount area. Stephen Barr • • • • • • • Temple Mount diggingB"H The State of Israel has no constitution. Israeli politicians such as Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert do what they want to do for reasons that only they know. The Israeli Supreme Court rules on issues of conflict, but it has no power to enforce those rulings. What can the Israel Antiquities Authority do when politicians rule and the Authority must bend to political winds? Zachi Zweig deserves a medal of honor for his tremendous efforts in 1999 in sifting through the dumps of Temple Mount destruction. More power to him. • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionIs it possible that good can come out of what is considered destruction? • • • • • • • Waqf destruction of Temple MountIn The USA we have a proverb - give someone an inch, they'll take a mile - (give a centimeter they will take a kilometer). Let WAQF take this, next they'll take the whole mount area. Pathetic. Sacrilegious. Blasphemous. Immoral. Why does not Israel do something? Who gave WAQF the right to do this in the first place? Take back their privileges. • • • • • • • temple trenchMy heart is broken over the continuing destruction of our Holiest Temple Mount remains. I don't blame the Wakf, they're barbarians. I do blame Olmert and all the secular Israelis • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionMy earlier posting to the IAA decrying the destruction of the Temple Mount so far has received no response. However, I also e-mailed the Prime Minister's Office which did respond though (which is reproduced below) I would like to read Mr. Shanks's take on it: We acknowledge receipt of your recent e-mail to the Prime Ministerâs Office regarding excavations on the Temple Mount. Please be assured that the Israeli Antiquities Authority is closely following the work being carried out on the Temple Mount, and is ensuring that there is no damage to any antiquities unearthed. Thank you for writing to express your concern. Sincerely, Prime Ministerâs Office â E-Correspondence • • • • • • • Temple MountNeeded renovations and enhancements should not be called destruction. This a charged word that indicates prejudice. Whole Palestinian villages and churches were destroyed by Israel. Where were you? • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionWith all of the sensitive history surrouinding the Temple Mount, one would think that Isreali leaderes would follow archeological methods when digging. There must be fear of worse reprisals to oppose the digging. If you have not read it, find Dore Gold's 2007 book, "The Fight for Jerusalem" to learn the history of the Temple Mount. • • • • • • • Contact ListNatan Sharansky has on his website a contact list of those you can e-mail or call and let them know of your outrage at the destruction. It appears though that all protest is falling on deaf ears! His web site is onejerusalem.org Blessings, Bee • • • • • • • Needless damage to Temple SiteI feel frustrated. There appears to be a call for the Christians to help discourage the Muslim desecration, but I am unsure how to contact these folk to protest. I will still be searching if some others with knowledge have established such a communication. I wonder if the Arabs have gotten clues from the large number of unbelieving Archeologists who have questioned the Bible's testimony in BAR to arrogate their opinion that the Hebrews never had a temple on this mount. I am part Cherokee and even though we still have an existing population, it is very difficult to find cultural clues pointing to our peoples that actually identify us and verify that we actually existed even two or three hundred years past. • • • • • • • Temple MountIsn't there a way to carefully install telephone, etc. cables without destroying valuable archaeological sites? This IS the site where two Temples stood. • • • • • • • temple Mount destructionIt is insanity to even consider the destruction of the Temple Mount. You can't change history. The ancient temple of the Israelites has been gone for millenia, replaced by succeeding cultures and structures, just as it occurs in every civilization that has ever existed. The very suggestion reeks of prejudice and racism. Would a Jew gladly allow the destruction of synagogues across the world because they were not the original inhabitants of that property? want to cause more conflict in the world? Support this type of insanity. • • • • • • • Islamic Disregard for anything Non-IslamicTeaching for three years in Kuwait in a private, bilingual school gave me a direct impression of the Islamic idea of "truth". It was demonstrated in what I observed to be a fundamental idea of "truth" in settings involving elementary, secondary and post-secondary students. "Truth" is a tribal matter in Islamic society; lying cheating and stealing are "OK" if they help out the tribe (Muhammed himself stole to help his followers). Whatever is not reflective of "Islamic" realities is not "truth". If it's not good for the tribe, then it's not truth. It is easy to see how Jewish history is disregarded by Islamic authorities; it simply isn't relevant and can never have any "true" significance for them. The bulldozer is a wonderful metaphor for Islamic regard for other than Islamic truth; Islam has NO REGARD for anything non-Islamic. They are the bulldozers of Judaism as well as Christianity, not to mention Buddhism. Furthermore, they are the great usurpers of Jewish and Christian history. They bulldoze it and "reinvent" it as Islamic. The Temple Mount becomes then for them just another place of Islamic significance, good for the tribe. To accuse them of lying or stealing or cheating is to make the mistake of assuming that they are see "truth telling" in a Western way. They simply won't get it. • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionGod is good all the time. And what would His possible reason be for allowing the destruction and desecration of His Holy place by the Muslims? The Lord also has a sense of humor and maybe He's decided that if the Muslims clear everything off the Temple Mount, whether it be Muslim, from the time of the Crusades, or (how I hate this phrase!) pre-Islamic, i.e. Jewish or Roman, it will make it easier for the Jews to reconstruct the New Temple when the time comes. One thing's for certain, there will be much less stuff to sift through! • • • • • • • temple mountI am outraged at the travesty of justice in the world; the destruction of truth; and the silence of the people. What can a little person like me do? The heritage of the Jewish people is being destroyed. • • • • • • • Destruction on Temple MountI believe the Moslems should allow excavations on the Mount before they totally destroy valuable historic information. The mount is a place sacred to both religions (Judaism, first) and the Moslems should not destroy history (no matter whose it is). • • • • • • • Temple Mount destructionAll interested parties should be present and have a say in what goes on on the Temple Mount. What good is the U.N. if it cannot or will not intervene? • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionHow the various authorities can sit back and allow this destruction to take place on one of the most precious sites on the planet is beyond belief. "Legal" it may be but it is certainly also immoral. Even a careful well planned excavation would be daunting but driving a backhoe through the site is sheer vandalism. If cabling is needed then well protected surface trunking might suffice but I guess as the Palestinian leaders have decided neither Solomonâs Temple nor Herodâs Temple ever existed on the site who are we to question the decision. If even the Israeli authorities, who you would think would have an interest in their own history, blatantly let the excavations continue without protest the Waqf Muslim religious trust will continue to abuse their custodianship of the site. • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionIf I understand the position of the Waqf, there never was any temple on the temple mount. Therefore digging on the temple mount should not uncover any artifacts from any of the three temples. (I'm not sure what they say about Roman and Byzantine buildings.) Their refusal to do proper archeological work and their willingness to destroy anything dug up by using a backhoe suggests a fear that something might be found that proves that there were Jewish temples before 70 AD. Their real position seems to be, "it's ours now and we can rewrite history as we choose. Others can kiss off." And the Israeli government allows them to go ahead and destroy. That I really do not understand. • • • • • • • The tractor diggingI believe the moslems don't care about the Archaeology of the temple mount. It is a real shame that they didn't bother to get Archaeologists involved. • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionThis is just not destruction but scrilege. I am not talking about desecrating an holy site, which they are, but the complete disregard for another people's ancestry. History is not just for the few, but for all. No one culture has survived without affecting all others associated with it. If the idiots who are destroyig ancient artifacts because of (1 hatred, (2 ignorance, (3 religious superiority, or (4 for any other reason, are also destroying part of their own histroy. OR, maybe they have something to hide and are afraid of the truth(s) that are being unearthed. God will always win over the ills of this world and it's inhabitants. I just feel sick that so much history is being wiped from view. • • • • • • • Israelis allowing this?The only explanation for the Israelis allowing this to happen is fear of Muslim extremists, yet I find this hard to believe. I thought the Israelis defended themselves, their turf and their heritage like no other people...have their priorities changed? • • • • • • • excaxation Temple mountAtrocious. This site is holy to Jews and Christians. Would Muslims like it if we dug up Mecca? Mohammed is buried in Medina and couldn't have gone to heaven from Jerusalem. • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionThis is SACRILEGIOUS AND BLASPHEMOUS! Olmert has to go because he refuses to stop it. • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionI think it is self-evident that the IAA and the Israeli Government (and people) are so terrified of the muslims and the rest of the world that they will allow them to do anything rather than make waves. After all, the world will only blame Israel and support the Waqif. The moslems and palestinians are in control - not just of the Temple Mount but of everything that affects the non-muslim world. They have stated repeatedly that their goal is to wipe out Israel and the Jewish people; destroying that history is a great place to begin. What is truly frightening to me is less the destruction, than that the Israeli (and world) governments are willing to stand by, watch it happen, and do nothing to stop it. Where is the spirit and faith of 1967? • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionIn a word 'DESECRATION' • • • • • • • Temple Mount 'Destruction'Zachi Zweig says "This provides us with new information regarding the topography of the Temple Mount, since previously it was not known that the bedrock at this point was so shallow." Yes, the tractor disturbed the layers, but who had foreknowledge that the soil was so shallow? Same person, same article: "there was a collection of architectural items, among them a fragment of a border and a lattice from the Byzantine period. These had been removed from the trench and gathered here." Note that they had been removed and gathered [conscious, careful actions], not tossed out of the trench hither and yon. How come no one is up there politely asking if they can proceed the tractor and sift through first? The people digging are referred to [same article] as 'the people who make the decisions' rather than a specific organization or individual. This isn't happening in a vacuum, there are people behind those decisions and it sounds like nobody's talking to them. Go find the guy in charge and let him know what's up. Re: âIsraeli and Palestinian authorities are failing to protect the Temple Mount.â Well, maybe the Palestinian authorities are too busy keeping their people from being shot by Israelis, or having their access to medical care and food and water and livelihood cut off to care about somebody else's turf. Besides, "the dig is proceeding without interference from Israeli authorities", permission granted by Olmert, with 'no comment' from the Israeli Antiquities Authority. Since "Israel has a long history of ignoring these violations", I don't see how any outsiders can change the course of this trenching. If Israel doesn't care, and hasn't cared, there is no point in calling it 'destruction' because it obviously has little value to them despite it being their own history going under the tractor bucket. It's a shame from a scientific and cultural point of view, let along a religious one, but it is their history they are choosing to relegate to the dusbtin. • • • • • • • SadI think it's terribly sad that thier destroying history. That is precisley what this is. If we don't look back at where we've been, how do we know where we're going? • • • • • • • bachnerthis makes me want to cry. i supposse if the waqif found the holy of holies on day in their DIGGING they would destroy it so no one would know it ever existed. they are trying once again to remove all jewish prsence from this earth. • • • • • • • Shanks Op-EdOne wonders at the intransigence. not of the Waqf as that's assumed, but rather of the Israel Antiquities Authority. While this appears to be the standard manner in which the IAA operates, it is unconscionable that this authority would do nothing to protect it's own history, property, and religious artifacts. Olmert seems to be no better. How can this be? I dislike the idea of being suspicious of their motives in allowing this destruction to continued without even a protest, but it is not possible to ignore the possibilities of some sort of collusion with the Waqf in this. • • • • • • • test our faithI believe this destructin is a sign that the third temple will soon be rebuilt. The motive of Islamics involved in these actions are to destroy remains of the jewish temples, so there will be no physical proof of them having existed. Although they may destroy artifacts, they can not destroy the Biblical records. I believe God wants us to have faith that even though we don't have artifacts we still believe. Blessed is he who has not seen yet believes. • • • • • • • New destruction on the Temple MountThe following is what I e-mailed to the IAA upon reading of this new act by the Waqf: Sirs, I am writing in concern and outrage that the Waqf is once again destroying the history of the Temple Mount ostensibly for legitimate reasons. I understand this is being done in violation of Israeli law yet virtually no one with authority to deal with this tradgedy is taking any action to stop this. Why the silence? What is the fear? This is the heritage of two great religions being obliterated so a third religion can solidify it's claim to the site. This would not have been tolerated when I lived in Jerusalem and worked for Prof. Benjamin Mazar on the Temple Mount Excavations in 1975 and 1978. What we found was considered precious to our historical understanding of the past. Now it seems the pre-Islamic remains of the Temple Mount are destined to go the way of the Bamyan Buddas destroyed by the Taliban. Why are you, the keepers of Israel's past allowing this to happen? In the 1930's there was a similar silence to the destruction of Jewish culture until it was too late to stop it. Is history repeating itself in the heart of Eretz Israel? After nearly 30 years away I am returning to Israel in November as part of a tour group. I know my heart will break when I see the Temple Mount. Will anybody care? • • • • • • • Digging on Temple MountCan you just imagine the uproar if Israeli people went to Mecca, rented several back hoes and began digging a trench along the Muslim's holiest site exposing its ancient ruins without regard for inspection or preservation? • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionI continue to be appalled and outraged that this destruction is something no one is able to prevent. All we can hope is that archeologists may recover whatever possible. • • • • • • • temple desicrationHow can the government allow,the destruction of a national treasure,that affects the whole world community. This is a world travisty. • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionOUT OF EVERY EVIL DEED CAN BE FOUND SOME MEASURE OF GOOD. • • • • • • • Unbelivable• • • • • • • Destruction of the Temple MountWhen I participated in archaeological digs in Israel in 1974 and 1976, the state of Israel required that all excavations were licensed and led by professional archaeologists. Preservation of finds and documention of each step of the excavation process was required to preserve history for posterity. This destruction needs to be stopped now, with military force if necessary. Peoples of all faiths should be outraged as the destruction is affecting the historical record of Musllms, Christians, and Jews. This site is particularly sensitive but there is no excuse for the blatant disregard for the historical record. There are qualified Palestinian archaeologists who could work on this project with Israeli professionals to ensure proper documentation of the excavation and preservation of artifacts. • • • • • • • Temple MountIt is tragic that, in order to buy peace, the IAA is ignoring it's charter to preserve Israel's precious archeological heritage. Where is there a Joshua who will face the Muslim Goliath and do battle for the artifacts of God's chosen people? Who can catalog what treasures have been lost already or predict what grievous losses are yet to come? The world will support the IAA if it will only stand with integrity and courage and present it's case to the world community. What is being lost transcends national or even religious boundaries for each of us has a stake in preserving our past. • • • • • • • Temple tractorIt is shocking what the Arabs are doing--thumbing their noseat others not Muslim, even when the archaeological finds are very--extremely--important.

There needs to be an international delegation formed which will confront the Israeli government regarding allowing this type of activity to continue without proper supervision. It is amazing that the Israelis are scrutinized regarding any professional excavations which they are involved in around the base of the Temple Mount, but the Palestinians who control the Temple Mount are allowed to perform whatever destruction it wills at anytime. There must be a public outcry against this type of activity. I can't imagine what potential ancient discoveries are being destroyed by this process. • • • • • • • Temple Mount DestructionWhat a travesty indeed! The Olmert government has failed the Israeli people in so many ways. Not only can they not provide security to the citizens of Israel from the continued rocket attacks, but they have failed even to protect the nations archaeological treasures. Ehud Olmert must resign! Jews and Christians around the world must find a way to stop this wanton destruction of the holiest site in both religions. • • • • • • • Temple desecrationThere is absolutely no reason in the world why the AEI can't arrange to dig in the pre determined area where the Arabs want to excavate. The only reason why I should have to explain this at all is because of sheer cowardice. • • • • • • • Temple Mount destructionI can not understand how the IAA or the GOI can stand by and let the Waqf destroy whatever it chooses to.

Every year Architecture for Humanity staff, design fellows, chapter members and volunteers work on structures that impact the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world. During the first week of May we hold our annual Design Awards night to celebrate and honor the best projects of the year.
click on links in slideshow for more information on each project.
The 2013 Awards include: Tangible Beauty - A project that creates hidden social impact through a beautiful and well loved solution. Pragmatic Optimism - A knowledge intense project that re-frames the conversation about design impact. Best Concept Design - The project in development that excites us most. Income Generated Project - A project that creates economic sustainability.
Keyword: Resilience. Our greatest challenge moving forward is bringing our international network in touch with the skills and resources they'll need for a sustainable (and resilient) future.
We're taking architecture to the street, the steering committee, the city hall and the capitol – because it will take a range of approaches, skills, and even generations, to see positive change happen where it's most needed. An informed community is one thing - an empowered community is quite another, and we're building tools and networks for whatever interventions are needed to make our built environment worthy of the 21st Century.
Find out how this gets done in this month's newsletter – and Thank You for helping make it all happen.
Architecture for Humanity Toronto 2013 Lecture & Symposium Series
Sergio Palleroni; Co-founder and Director of the BaSiC Initiative
May 21st, 2013 6:30 – 8:00 PM The Centre for Social Innovation Annex, 720 Bathurst Street, Toronto, ON
Join us for the last night of our lecture series discussing communities and architecture.
On April 21st, The Society for a Design Museum Japan held a symposium to follow their first symposium, "Toward Creating a Design Museum Japan" held last November.
This time around, proposals for a future design museum were open to the public, and Architecture for Humanity Design Fellow Akinobu Yoshikawa was chosen to present his proposal at the event!
Ricardo Daza is beyond dedicated to the Bogotá Chapter he himself launched in 2009 with two of his non-architect friends.
In four years the Chapter has helped hundreds of people over a dozen projects - all conducted in their own time after work, with the help of other volunteers and interns. It hasn't been easy, and when life calls, and key members have to pull away, a chapter confronts in another way the issue of sustainability.
How do the Bogotá folks do it? Find out below.
Don't miss us this week in both Denver and Los Angeles (but good luck catching us both places)
Conference season has shifted into full gear. We'd like to share a couple opportunities to mingle with professional peers, attend some insightful discussions and get a dose of Architecture for Humanity in-person, at Dwell in Design in Los Angeles (June 21-23) and at the American Institute of Architects National Convention in Denver (June 19-22).
We're continuing our partnership with molo design for our conference circuit this year - who are kitting out both the AIA and Dwell in Design trade floor booths as comfortable (and collapsible) places to mingle and trade tales of design and architecture.
Architecture for Humanity and the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) released "The Green Schools Investment Guide for Healthy, Efficient and Inspiring Learning Spaces," a free downloadable resource for K-12 schools and communities that demonstrates how schools can implement healthy and resource-efficient building improvements.
The Green Schools Investment Guide outlines the steps that any school stakeholder – from school administrators and elected officials to staff and students to parents and businesses – can take to transform their local schools. The 70-page, action-oriented resource demonstrates how investments in America's school buildings can improve student and staff well-being and academic performance, conserve scarce resources and foster thriving and sustainable communities.
In the six months since Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast, Architecture for Humanity has launched a major disaster response effort focused on the long-term reconstruction of devastated communities. The Hurricane Sandy Reconstruction Program is only possible with the on-going support and generosity of our followers, partners, chapter members and global network of architects and designers.
Team Botswana is very glad to announce the opening of the South East Football for Hope Centre in the village of Ramotswa.
The opening ceremony held on February 19th represented the closure of a year and half of hard work to get this project built and the beginning of a new life for the centre and SEDYEA the centre host.
Congratulation to Design Fellow Elisa Engel and the whole team! The beautiful project responds to community needs and brings a new work of art to the town.

RBS due to avoid full split (From Hillingdon Times)

RBS due to avoid full split
2:55am Friday 1st November 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
Part-nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland is expected to avoid demands for a full carve-up when the Government rules on the lender's future today.
A Treasury-commissioned report is set to call for soured loans and toxic assets to be placed in an internal "bad bank", instead of demanding a full split, arguing it will improve lending to businesses.
The 80% state-owned lender is likely to make the announcement alongside its third-quarter results, which are forecast to show operating profits of £800 million in the three months to the end of September, lower than the £1.05 billion reported a year earlier as its investment bank shrinks.
Chancellor George Osborne appointed investment bank Rothschild during the summer to weigh up the case for a good/bad bank split, but the plan has since faced a barrage of opposition from shareholders.
Mr Osborne is under pressure to boost lending to the economy and speed up RBS's return to the private sector.
Instead, it is expected to see the creation of an internal, ring-fenced book of problem assets, containing soured commercial property loans and much of Ulster Bank, its troubled Irish business.
However, it is expected to fall short of dumping the whole of Ulster Bank - a major lender to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland - into the internal "bad bank".
The plan will avoid the need for a shareholder vote, unlike a full nationalisation of the bad bank, a strategy which faced vocal investor opposition.
RBS already has a "non-core" division, run by Rory Cullinan, and the scale of the new internal "bad bank" is expected to correspond roughly with this - although it could be bulked up with more problem assets.
By the summer, RBS had already shrunk its non-core book to £45.4 billion from £258 billion in 2009. It expects to fall further to around £36 billion by the year-end.
The report could also call for an accelerated sale of its Citizens US bank, said to be worth around £8 billion, plus see the closure of its investment banking division.
Analysts at UBS recently said they see " limited benefit" from a full split.
They said: "We would not be surprised to see the existing envelope of non-core expanded with this accompanied with an acceleration of business disposals to bring RBS back to an increasingly UK-focussed business."
RBS and the Treasury declined to comment.

Mickey Finn's life was short and had many of the elements of tragedy for Mickey drank himself to death.
In 'No Cure for Mickey Finn' Finn's life is remembered by his family and his wife, Lena Ulmann.
In a sense Mickey Finn has not been forgotten, his image decorates many of the pubs in Galway to this day.
He was a fine musician. His music was improvised and flamboyant. He was photogenic and became a legendary character in the Galway of that era. He was sharp-tongued and quick-witted. He busked on the streets, became part of an emergent music scene centred around the Cellar Bar; one that spawned Mary Coughlan, Sean Tyrell and De Danann.
The short life and death of Mickey Finn are emblematic to that time, a time when Galway began to expand; when people drank with no notion of the price that would one day be paid. '
No Cure for Mickey Finn', tells his story, the relentless search for alcohol, through the memories of his family and his wife. But this is also a documentary about a time and place and about the symbiotic relationship between traditional music and alcohol and the consequent waste of this single life.
Kevin Dolan is a DCU student of Marie-Louise O'Donnell.
For one of his projects, he decided to tell the story of Bob Dylan's 1965 song, "Like A Rolling Stone" and its impact on him as a teenager. Music/Poetry Used:
"Like A Rolling Stone", Bob Dylan (album version and Live At The Hollywood Bowl)
"I Shall Be Free", Bob Dylan
"Howl", Allen Ginsberg
"Rollin' Stone", Muddy Waters
"Lost Highway", Bob Dylan, Joan Baez

More Irish Than The Irish Themselves - Níos Gaelaí ná na Gaeil iad féin An international perspective on the Irish language, featuring three people of different nationalities and their experience of learning Irish. For many of us, our school days knocked any passion we had for the Irish language. We learnt the songs, we studied the poetry and prose, but we left school after 13 years without being able to hold a conversation in Irish. We when say we have the "cúpla focal', we literally only have a couple of words. Yet our national language has reached people of different nationalities around the world, who have been inspired to learn and to speak Irish. In 'More Irish than the Irish Themselves', Batshèva Battu from France, Cathinka Hambro from Norway and Cóilín O Floinn from New York tell of their interest in the language, how they went about learning it as adults, talk about the different peculiarities of the language, how they use it in their everyday lives, and their view on Irish people's relationship with the language.
French born Batshèva Battu (28) has no family connections with Ireland. In a quest to learn a language different from the norm, she decided to take up Irish. In 2005, she travelled to Ireland for the first time to take part in an Oideas Gael course in Glean Cholm Cille, Co. Donegal. Having been involved in classical and jazz singing in France, Batshèva discovered Sean-Nós singing during her time in Donegal. She moved to Ireland in 2008 to study for an M.A. in Irish Traditional Music Performance at the University of Limerick. In 2009 she went on to study on a Music Diploma taught through Irish in An Spidéal, County Galway. Batshèva now teaches singing in Galway city, and lives in An Spidéal where she gets to use her Irish on a daily basis with the locals. Cathinka Hambro (32) from Norway also has no family connections with Ireland. She first heard the Irish language as teenager on a school trip to Ireland, which took in visits to Kerry, Galway and the Aran Islands. Subsequent trips to Ireland inspired her take up Celtic Studies at the University of Oslo. A working knowledge of the Irish language was a prerequisite for the course, so Cathinka returned to Ireland in 2008 to learn Irish in Connemara and on Inis Meáin. She is now working on her PhD in Celtic Studies in Oslo, where she is researching a 15th century text in Irish called 'Altram Tige Dá Medar', which is preserved in The Book of Fermoy. She endeavors to spend a week or two in Ireland every year, in order to practice her Irish.
Colin Flynn or Cóilín Ó Floinn (33) grew up on Long Island, New York. As his grandparents were from Cork, he was always surrounded by Irish culture. He first heard the Irish language as a young child on an old Clancy Brothers recording of 'Fágfaidh Mé an Baile Seo' that his mother used to play, and he always wanted to understand what the words in the song meant. He later got the opportunity to learn the language at New York University where he studied History and Irish Studies. Cóilín moved to Dublin in 2000 and spent his weekends in the Gaeltacht in order to practice his Irish. He qualified as a secondary school teacher in 2005, but decided to work in adult education instead. This led him to a job as an Irish language teacher and course designer with Gaelchultúr in Dublin, where he taught for five years. Cóilín is currently a PhD student in Trinity College, but still teaches Irish part-time.

John Keats Poetry: British Analysis
To love and to work are, psychologists say, the principal concerns of early adulthood. In John Keats's case, they became, as well, the dominant themes of his most important poetry. The work theme includes both the effort and the love of creating beauty and the immortality Keats longed for as recompense. Once, perhaps exaggerating, Keats wrote that "the mere yearning and fondness" he had "for the Beautiful" would keep him writing "even if [his] night's labours should be burnt every morning and no eye ever shine upon them." Not passing, however, was the tenacity of his ambition: "I would sooner fail than not to be among the greatest." Keats's quest for immortality takes several forms: It appears openly, especially in the sonnets and in "Ode on Indolence" and "Ode to Psyche" as the anxieties of ambition—being afforded the time, maintaining the will and energy, and, not least, determining the topic, or territory, for achievement. It includes a metamorphosis fantasy, whereby the young poet becomes deified or capable of immortal poetry through absorption of divinely granted knowledge. The ambition/work theme also takes a self-conscious turn in The Fall of Hyperion, questioning the value to a suffering humankind of the dreamer-poet's life and work.
The love theme explores dreams of heterosexual bliss, but it also moves into the appropriate relationships to be had with art and nature. The imagination is the ally of...

She kind of looks like a white variant of space suit Marlena with a new head.
I hope she is a quarterly variant. I don't want any figure I really like to be a sub exclusive because then I couldnt buy extras of it.
To me, NA Sorceress ranks higher on my list than the MYP version, and possibly even rivals the original as my favorite. I really hope she's one of the characters coming sooner than later. I'm also wondering how you guys feel she should be released in the line? A-List Variant slot or Sub Exclusive? And what accessories would you like to see her come with?

I hope she is a quarterly variant. I don't want any figure I really like to be a sub exclusive because then I couldnt buy extras of it.
was thinking the very same thing 'bout her suit.
well, better as a variant. but, is the character available for a motuc representation?
She's pretty awesome! Personally, I want her because I want different Sorceresses throughout the story, and I plan to use different versions as different people (rather than just different costumes). Either way though, I really like this design. Not sure about accessories, though! I know there are things people could think of that come from various cannons, but I wouldn't mind unique never-before-seen things like a futuristic mechanical hawk form or something. Maybe even a new staff, since the original MotU toy came with one.
Here's something: What do you think of her being glow in the dark? I'm pretty sure I've seen a white plastic that glows blue...is this true? It would be a great way to get her aura she's got going on there (and of course, I mean just her suit. Her face would be painted like normal, as well as her hands).

I lovelovelove this version of sorceress! She definitely needs a futuristic version of her staff, and a machine gun!!

My MOTUC top 10 wants (POST SDCC 2013):
Madame Razz & Broom - Queen Angella - Hunga the Harpy - Peekablue - Entrapta -Mermista - Veena - Red Knight - Vultak - Dylamug
Small creatures that need to happen: Imp - 3 main twiggets
She is definitely the first variant of the Sorceress that I hope we see, and if we see her sooner than the Sorceress great because I feel like the orange and blue version is still a long long way off.
For accessories? Can't she come with two open hands like Stratos! She looks like she does a lot of flying in her human form, and spellcasting besides that. If she had to come with a weapon, maybe the mini-comic/roleplaying version of the Power Sword?
Exactly what I thought when we saw Marlena! Heck, some fans could probably put Marlena's head on her and get their white space suit they've already requested.
I think she kicks the silverhawks' tail-feathers back to Limbo.
I would love NA Sorceress!! I want her more than a 200x Sorceress as well. She's really interesting looking. I'm clueless on any accessories though. I don't feel I "know" her well enough to decide that.
For the honor of Grayskull!

I really like that design - I've never seen this comic before!
If they do her - I hope they give her a cape or a cape made of wings - just so she looks a bit more closer to the Movie Sorceress.
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
You know, I think the movie Sorceress is a cross between her and the Filmation version. I like it!
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
If they WERE to licence Classic Media's rights - as has been increasingly speculated of late - surely a cartoon NA Sorceress would become more likely than that?
*best image Google Images threw at me.
I like the helmet she's wearing. I think this is one of the better NA designs that I've seen.
I'm hoping for a Disco Skeletor for the next subscription exclusive! Fully flocked!
"I don't like to feel good! I like to feel EVIL!"
If they stick with the story they've been doing in the bios, Teela will be the sorceress by this point in the storyline.
Ya I like it. Better than Egyptian Sorceress
All caught up on figures...now what
That's the first thing that I thought. Looks like a random Silverhawks character.
I don't care for her, there's like 3 other Sorceress versions that I want before this one. I want old school Filma...Style Guide blue and orange Sorceress, Mini comics White and/or Pink Sorceress repaint, as well as a 200x Sorceress I'm willing to get as I like the stactions I have. I think I'll pass on NA variants.

Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
I have Chief Carnivus...and unfortunately the King Grayskull repaint that I only got because I liked the PoG sticker and blue lightning on the package, the cool accessories, and the better color scheme helped sell him to me. Still hate the character a lot though. It's one of the worst ideas in MOTU history imo.
Yeah...unfortunately when my old, broke ass doesnt go out partying too much anymore I end up spending waaaay too much time on here and my Vintage Purism diminishes because of it.
