Jews demand Olmert halt Temple Mount dig

JERUSALEM-A Jewish group representing hundreds of U.S. synagogues says it is "incomprehensible" that Israel is allowing a Muslim dig on the Temple Mount and has demanded Prime Minister Ehud Olmert immediately halt the blasting of a massive trench and allow archaeologists to inspect the site.Members of the Waqf, the Islamic custodians of the Mount, are using bulldozers to carve on Judaism's holiest site a massive trench that reportedly is destroying antiquities from what archaeologists believe is a wall from the Second Jewish Temple.Israel has barred archaeologists from inspecting the artifacts, believed to be from the outer courtyard of the Second Temple.If verified, the wall would be the most significant Jewish Temple find in history."It is incomprehensible that the State of Israel would allow for a non-Jewish religious entity that denies the very existence of the two Temples to be entrusted with digging on the Temple Mount. Such inconsistent and distorted principles signify a lack of sensitivity towards our own land and history," stated a letter to Olmert from the National Council of Young Israel.
