Ancient Israel

Archaeologists believe the 10th century B.C. artifact is the first seal of its kind found in Jerusalem.

Jonathan Tobin in Commentary Magazine explained the political context of the fight over archaeological evidence:

By trashing an area that was loaded with precious artifacts buried over 30 centuries, the Palestinians hope to convince the world that Jews have no claim to Jerusalem, let alone any part of Israel, including the areas inside the 1967 lines.

The significance of the seal is that it shows the level of activity that is consistent with it serving as the site of the capital of ancient Israel. Since denying the existence of David’s Kingdom might hurt the case for Zionism’s legitimacy, destroying evidence of that history is key to their agenda. […]

Try as they might to call the Old City “traditionally Palestinian” or “Arab East Jerusalem,” all you need to do to confirm Jerusalem’s Jewish roots is to start digging.

At this is time I would like to thank the Islamist Organization that made finding this artifact possible. Thank you for undoing what you are trying to accomplish.
