The Proof is in the Rubble...

In my last post, The Temple Mount Is..., I discussed the sorry state of affairs that currently exists on Har HaBayit (Temple Mount). Here's an article from todays Jerusalem Post which only strengthens the points raised in that post:
A First-Temple period seal has been discovered amidst piles of rubble from Jerusalem's Temple Mount, an Israeli archaeologist said Tuesday, in what could prove to be an historic find.

The small - less than 1 cm - seal impression, or bulla, discovered Tuesday by Bar-Ilan University archaeologist Dr. Gabriel Barkay amidst piles of rubble from the Temple Mount would mark the first time that an written artifact was found from the Temple Mount dating back to the First Temple period.

The 2,600 year old artifact, with three lines in ancient Hebrew, was discovered amidst piles of rubble discarded by the Islamic Wakf that Barkay and a team of young archaeologists and volunteers are sifting through on the grounds of a Jerusalem national park.

How long will we sit in silence and allow our holiest site, the very place where the presence of G-d rests, to be defiled and desecrated by those who seek our destruction?

To once again quote the Jewish / Israeli poet, Uri Tzvi Greenberg:
He who controls the Mount controls the Land
