Inventing Palestinian Arab History, destroying biblical evidence

In the face of clear historical evidence, Arabs often deny the Jewish historical connection to the land, especially the city of Jerusalem. They do this rhetorically and have used heavy equipment to destroy archeological sites of immense importance. “Today, both the U.N. and Palestinian leadership are seeking to erase the Jewish and Christian heritage of Jerusalem,” asserted Ze’ev Orenstein, director of International Affairs for the City of David, an archeological site for ancient Jerusalem in a report to Fox News.
On October 7, 2000, an Arab mob set fire to Torah scrolls, prayer books and other religious objects at Joseph's Tomb. They used hammers, crowbars and pickaxes to destroy the stone building and the Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva located at the site, and brutally murdered Rabbi Hillel Lieberman, the American-born teacher at the yeshiva, while on his way to try to prevent more destruction. They then turned the tomb into a mosque. "In destroying the tomb, Palestinian demonstrators eradicated one 'fact on the ground."
In contrast with her reaction to the wanton and gratuitous destruction of Joseph's Tomb in October 2000, which she excused, Abu El-Haj neglects to discuss the ongoing efforts of the Arabs to destroy Temple Mount antiquities, and the repeated Arab sniping on Rachel's tomb, Judaism's third holiest site, according to Mark-Ami El of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
